uncommonly in lots of seed of the Blackeye varieties, no doubt 

 caused by crossing with Black cowpeas. As there are numerous 

 varieties of Blackeye cowpeas as well as of Black, it is to be 

 expected that among the hybrids of these will be the Watson 

 color of seed while the plants will vary in habit considerably. 

 Watson's Hybrid is also known as Sport. The Watson Hybrid 

 mentioned in Bulletin 62 (ser. 2), Louisiana Experiment Station, 

 1900 (p. 466), may be this variety; the agronomic notes on Wat- 

 son's Hybrid in Bulletin SI, Delaware College Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, are based on 17425. 

 17425A. Probably an extracted hybrid. Same as 17327. 



17426. From Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, May, 1904, as Mount 



Olive. Seeds buff, apparently identical with 17344. Grown only 

 in 1905, the field notes indicating that these plants are very 

 similar. 



17427. Sport. From the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, May, 1904, 



through Prof. C. L. Newman. In all respects like Watson, 17425, 

 except that the pods are straight and the seeds smaller, rhomboid, 

 6 by 7 mm. Prof. Newman states that this is a hybrid of Black- 

 eye and Extra Early Black. Another lot of the same thing was 

 obtained later and numbered 22721. Two of the hybrids obtained 

 from Mr. J. W. Trinkle, Madison, Ind., and grown under Nos. 

 0423 and 0618 are extremely similar but about 10 per cent better, 

 being taller and later. No. 0624 from the same source had the 

 pods badly distorted by disease. Agronomic notes concerning Sport, 

 17427, are published in Bulletin 81, Delaware College Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. 



17428. Red Croicder. From Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, May, 



1904. See 17361. 



17429. From the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, May, 1904. Seeds 



buff like 13468. Available field notes are very brief but indicate 

 that the plant is very similar to 13468. 



17430. Iron. From Mr. S. M. Byrd, Grovetown, Ga., January, 1905. Progeny 



of 8418. (See PI. V.)
