CATALOGUE AND DESCKIPTIONS OF VAKIETIES. 



129 



about 105 days ; seeds purplish maroon, subreniforrn, about 5 by 

 7 mm. Very similar to 25088, but larger in growth and pods very 

 different. 



25512D. Very procumbent, moderately vigorous, the row mass 6 to 12 inches 

 high, 3 feet broad, very sparse; trailing branches few, 3 to 4 feet 

 long ; leaflets pale, medium sized, free from rust, considerably 

 affected by leaf-spot; flowers violet purple; pods few, the first 

 about fully grown in 133 days when killed by frost ; original seeds 

 indistinguishable from Whippoorwill 17349. A very late and in- 

 ferior variety. 



25714. Catjang. From Poona, Bombay, India, June, 1909. Procumbent, viny, 

 vigorous, the row mass 18 inches high, 3 feet broad; trailing 

 branches rather coarse, green, 3 to 8 feet long ; leaflets medium 

 sized, held late, free from rust, somewhat affected by red leaf-spot ; 

 pods few, some maturing in 1910 at the end of 120 days, straw 

 colored, 41 to 5 inches long; seeds buff, oblong, plump, 4 to 5 by 

 6 to 7 mm. ; iris nearly black. This variety has practically the 

 same habit as 21603. 



25785. From Amani, German East Africa, July, 1909. Procumbent, very viny, 



vigorous, the row mass 8 to 10 inches high, 4 feet broad ; trailing 

 branches many, 3 to 5 feet long; leaflets free from rust and leaf- 

 spot; very late, not even blooming in 1910 at the end of 100 days; 

 original seeds buff, speckled, rhomboid, 6 by 6 mm. ; iris nearly 

 black. 



25786. From Amani, German East Africa, July, 1909. Procumbent, very viny, 



moderately vigorous ; trailing branches 3 to 7 feet long, green ; 

 the row mass sparse, 2\ feet broad ; leaflets pale, free from rust, 

 moderately affected by white leaf -spot ; flowers violet purple ; 

 moderately prolific ; pods well filled, held low, slender, 54 to 6 

 inches long, straw colored, marked with irregular longitudinal 

 splotches of purple, the first maturing in about 85 days; seeds 

 rhomboid, 4 mm. broad and as long, buff speckled with blue and 

 with irregular black splotches. A remarkable variety on account 

 of the peculiar coloration of the pods and seeds. 

 25786A. Much like the preceding in habit and life period; pods dark purple, 2>\ 

 inches long; seeds rhomboid, 4 mm. long and broad, buff faintly 

 marbled with brown ; iris olive yellow. This is perhaps a catjang. 



25787. From Amani, German East Africa, July, 1909. Procumbent, very viny, 



vigorous, the row mass 12 to 18 inches high, 4 to 5 feet broad ; 

 trailing branches 3 to 6 feet long; leaves medium sized, held late, 

 free from rust and leaf-spot ; flowers violet purple ; pods few, well 

 filled, held low, pale, 6 to 7 inches long, the first maturing in 80 

 days; seeds rhomboid, 6 to 7 mm. long and as broad, buff thickly 

 speckled with blue ; iris nearly black, apparently composed of fused 

 specklings. Seeds of this are speckled, much as in New Era, but 

 the variety is very different from any other having similar seeds. 

 It is exceedingly viny, but bears only a few pods. 

 25857. From Venice, Italy, August, 1909. See 22050. 



25S57A. Suberect, half bushy, moderately vigorous, the row mass 20 inches high, 

 2 feet broad; trailing branches green, few, 2 to 3 feet long; leaflets 

 medium sized, shed early, free from rust, much affected by red
