21793. From Sibpur, Calcutta, India, January, 1908. Seed of this planted at 

 Arlington Farm did not grow. At Monetta, S. C, the plants were 

 moderately vigorous, perfectly prostrate, with trailing branches 4 

 to 6 feet long; leaflets medium in size and color, not affected by 

 rust and but little by leaf -spot; planted June 8, 1909, they had 

 neither flowers nor pods on September 7; original seeds subreni- 

 forru, plump, usually transversely wrinkled, about 7 mm. long, 

 white with a dark-brown or perhaps maroon eye. The habits are 

 such as to make the variety worthless. 



21813. From Makassar, Celebes, January, 1908. Stems and branches prostrate 



or nearly so, 4 to 8 feet long, the row mass thin, 6 to 12 inches high, 

 4 to 6 feet broad ; leaflets large, pale, free from leaf-spot but sub- 

 ject to rust; very late, not even producing buds or fiowers at 

 Arlington Farm in 130 days in 1908 or in 1909 ; at Monetta, S. C, 

 in 1909, its behavior was very similar ; original seeds subreniform, 

 white or cream colored with a brown iris, mostly about 6 by 8 

 mm. Of striking habit and appearance but of no apparent value. 



21814. From-Makassar, Celebes, January, 1908. Similar in all respects to 21813, 



excepting as to seeds. The original seeds are subreniform, varia- 

 ble in size, mostly about 5 by 7 mm., buff, marbled with brown as 

 in Whippoorwill. 



21S15. From Makassar, Celebes, January, 1908. Similar in all respects to 21813, 

 excepting as to the seed. The original seeds were subreniform, 

 about 5 by 7 mm., white, mostly with a black eye, but some with a 

 black saddle. 



21816. From Makassar, Celebes, January, 1908. This variety is identical in 



habit with 21813, differing only in the seeds, which are oblong, 

 half crowder, about 6 by 8 mm., buff colored, the chalazal end fre- 

 quently white. 



21817. This is similar in every way to 21813, excepting as to seeds. The original 



seeds are subreniform, about 5 by 8 mm., black. The five preceding 

 varieties were grown two seasons and are remarkable for their 

 very prostrate habit, the branches all lying flat on the ground. Ex- 

 cept for the seeds they could not be distinguished from each otner. 

 21832. Iron. From the N. L. Willet Seed Co., Augusta, Ga., January, 1908.

21934. Catjang. From Sydney, N. S. W., as " Upright," originally from India. 



Half bushy, vigorous, the row mass 12 to 20 inches high, 3 feet 

 broad; trailing branches 2 to 3 feet long; leaflets small, dark, held 

 late, free from rust but subject to red leaf-spot ; pods very numer- 

 ous, held erect, drab colored, small, 4 inches long, the first maturing 

 in 100 days; seeds oblong, buff, 4 by 5 mm. Isolated plants form 

 circular compact masses almost covered with the erect pods. Under 

 this name a variety is now commercial in New South Wales, but 

 as represented by this lot it does not have much value under Arling- 

 ton conditions. It has the same general appearance as 17376, 

 21565, and 21565A, but is taller and better than any of those. No. 

 21934 is very different from Agrostology No. 1488, received from 

 the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, N. S. W., in 1902 as Upright. 

 The latter is erect in habit and very much like 21602, if not identi- 

 cal with it. (See PL V.) 



22050. Turneifs Blaclceye. From Amarillo, Tex., Experimental Farm, 1908, 

 originally procured from Mr. Turney, Channing, Tex. Very simi-
