17409. Ayrshire or Whippoorwill Saddleback. From the Arkansas Agricultural 



Experiment Station, received through Prof. C. L. Newman, his 

 No. 10, May, 1904; evidently a cross of Taylor and Blackeye. 

 Medium, half bushy, the row mass 18 inches high, 2 feet broad; 

 trailing branches rather few, coarse, 2 to 4 feet long ; leaflets large, 

 dark, immune to rust, a little affected by both red and white leaf- 

 spot ; flowers almost white ; prolific ; pods well filled, held medium 

 high, straw colored or somewhat purplish tinged, 6 to 7 inches long, 

 the first maturing in about 90 days; seeds subreniform, about 

 6 by 8 mm., the ground color white, nearly concealed by the 

 Taylor coloration; iris black; the Taylor color commonly covers 

 the whole of the seed excepting the chalazal end; occasionally, 

 however, the whole back of the seed is also white, and in this 

 there may be scattered spots of the Taylor coloring. The habit 

 of this is about ident ical with Guernsey 17408, and Hoi stein 

 17327. It has been grown at Arlington for five seasons; also at 

 Audubon Park, New Orleans, La., and Stillwater, Okla.
