Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. 27M Flo of Zebrina pendula. Slightly en- larged. 2784. Zebrina pendula. 2780. Dent Corn — Zea Mays, var. indentata (XVa). Var. amylacea (Z. amyla- cea, Sturt.). Soft Corns. This group is at once recog- nized by the absence of cor- neous endosperm. Through the uniformity of the shrink- age in ripening there is usu- ally no indentation, yet in some varieties an indentation may more or less frequently appear, but splitting the ker- nel infallibly determines the class. Var. saccharata (Z. saccha- rata, Sturt.). Sweet Corn. Pigs. 2781, 2782, 551. Plate VII. A well-defined group characterized by the translu- cent, horny appearance of the kernels and their more or less crinkled, wrinkled, or shriveled condition. Var. amy lea-saccharata {Z. amylea-saccha- r&ta, Sturt.). Starchy-sweet Corn. This group is founded upon three varieties found in the San Pedro Indian collection of Dr. Palmer and sent in 1886. The external ap- pearance of the kernel is that of a sweet, but examination shows that the lower half of the kernel is starchy, the upper half horny and translucent. These varieties all had a white cob, the kernels deeper than broad. L. H. B. ZEBEiNA (name refers to the striped leaves). Commelindcece. Differs from Tra- descantia chiefly in the fact that the corolla is tubular (petals not free); stamens 6, equal; fls. few, sessile, in 2 conduplicate bracts. Two species. pendula, Schnizl (Tradescantia zebrina, Hort. T tricolor, Hort., in part. Cyanbtis vittata, Lindl. Com mellna zebrina, Hort.). Wandering Jew, in part Pigs. 2783-84.
