about 25 per cent inferior. No. 01367, from Mr. Henry Junge, 

 Lynch, Cal., could not be distinguished from this either in habit 

 or seeds. 



29300. From T. W. Wood & Sons, Richmond, Va., 1910, as Rice. Very similar to 



Lady 17359 but a week later and the pods and seeds are somewhat 

 different. Pods straw colored, short, about 5 inches long; seeds 

 white with a greenish iris, subglobose, about 5 mm. in diameter. 

 This variety is very distinct from 17359 in its short pods and sub- 

 globose seeds. The same thing has been grown as No. 01020, 

 from Mr. William Bohanan, Colburt, Okla.. and No. 013S1, from 

 the Steekler Seed Co.. New Orleans, La., as Lady. Several ex- 

 tracted hybrids from Mr. J. W. Trinkle, Madison. Ind., have iden- 

 tical seeds, but all differ slightly in habit. These were grown as 

 Xos. 0563A, 0625E, 0625H, 0626A, 0626D, and 0626E. 



29301. Miller. From the N. L. Willet Seed Co.. Augusta, Ga., 1909. This is 



practically identical with 17340, but differs in its pods and seeds. 

 Pods straw colored, 5 to 7 inches long ; seeds rhomboid, 5 by 6 mm., 

 buff, the iris yellow. This description applies only to the buff- 

 colored seeds which make up the largest percentage of the mixture 

 called Miller. 



29302. From the N. L. Willet Seed Co., Augusta, Ga., 1909. These are the 



black seed selected from a mixed variety called Miller. Some- 

 what procumbent, viny. very vigorous, the row mass 3 feet high 

 and as broad; branches green, 3 to 5 feet long; leaves medium 

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

 violet purple, moderately prolific; pods well filled, held rather 

 high, straw colored, 5 to 7 inches long, the first maturing in 100 

 days; seeds black, subreniform, 6 by 9 mm. This is a vigorous 

 variety, but late and very viny; it bears the same relation to 

 ordinary Black that Unknown does to Clay. 



29303. Asparagus bean. From Tehwa, China, 1910. Procumbent, viny, moder- 



ately vigorous, the row mass 14 to 16 inches high, 2| feet broad ; 

 leaflets medium sized; flowers pale violet purple; prolific; pods 

 well filled, pale colored, little inflated, about 13 inches long, the 

 first maturing in about 70 days ; seeds reniform, 5 by 9 mm., pink 

 with chalazal end white; iris nearly black. This is a very distinct 

 variety. 



29304. From a single plant found at Arlington Farm in 1909. Suberect, half 



bushy, hardly viny, vigorous, the row mass 26 inches high, 2 to 

 2* feet broad ; branches coarse, green ; leaves medium sized, free 

 from rust, but a little affected by red leaf-spot ; flowers pale violet

 5 to 6 inches long, the first maturing in 75 days ; seeds subreniform, 

 white with a large marbled buff and brown eye which often ex- 

 tends over the micropylar end ; iris brownish yellow. An excellent, 

 very vigorous variety with the habit of Whippoorwill ; not the same 

 as 17408.

baricus. Procumbent, very viny. the row mass compact. 6 to 8 

 inches high, 2 feet broad: branches many. 1 to 3 feet long; leaflets
