Yes, SHERWIN-WRIGHT is interesting.
I'm reluctant to try to read Shull's mind on this to any great extent, but my
first thought--other than the discrepancy might be simple clerical errors--
was it had been some time since he saw/grew/made notes on the varieties above,
or possibly that they simply did not manifest purple in his garden or
environs.
But you could not say this for his own introduction---unless he had lost or
discarded it himself between 1920 and 1931 and was working from memory.
