CATALOGUE AND DESCRIPTIONS OF VARIETIES. 125 



This variety closely resembles 29277, but is larger and looser in 

 habit, and too procumbent to be desirable. 

 24341D. Procumbent, viny, moderately vigorous, the row mass 12 inches high, 

 3 feet broad; trailing branches rather few, 3 to 4 feet long; 

 flowers purple ; leaflets dark, medium sized, held late, not affected 

 by rust, but considerably by leaf-spot; pods well filled, held low, 

 straw colored, 5 to 7 inches long, the first maturing in about 80 

 days; seeds fawn colored, rhomboid, about 6 by 7 mm. Only one 

 plant of this variety grew, and it could not be identified with any 

 other. While the seeds closely resemble that of Iron, the plant is 

 very different. Excepting for the seed, it scarcely differs fro"m 

 24341.
