No. 21. Pelham — Eoyal, six-rowed female; Beaver, two-rowed male. 



Royal, the female parent of Parkin and Munro, is a hybrid between a two-rowed 

 barley, known as Swedish, and a plump six-rowed variety, known as Baxter, Succes-= 

 is a beardless barley. One of the crosses, Parkin, is beardless, like the male parent; 

 the other is bearded and resembles Royal. 



In the third case, Lytton is a cross with Royal six-rowed and Beaver two-rowed. 

 Beaver was one of the earlier hybrids, the result of a cross between a two-rowed sort 

 (Swedish) and a six-rowed Baxter. In this case, although in parentage it is two- 

 thirds two-rowed, this barley is, nevertheless, a six-rowed sort. Pelham is a two- 

 rowed sort. The three parents of these hybrids have been very productive. 



Nos. 18 and 19 are crosses which were made by the present Horticulturist of the 

 Central Experimental Farm, Mr. W. T. Macoun, in 1895. Nos. 20 and 21 are the work 

 of l>r. C. E. Saunders, in 1896.
