ll.iU'^T PRODUCTIVE VARIETIES OF TWO-ROW BARLEY. 



The following varieties are among the most productive : Hannchen (a Swedish 

 selection of the famous Harm a barley), Swan's Neck, Standweli, Clifford, Canadian 

 Thorpe, Beaver and the different strains of Chevalier. 



EARLIEST VARIETIES OF TWO-ROW BARLEY. 



Among the earlier sorts are Hannchen, Beaver, Clifford ard some strains of 

 Chevalier. 



BEARDLESS AND HULLESS TWO-ROW BARLEY. 



The varieties of beardless and of bulless two-row barley which have been tested 

 at Ottawa have not, as a rule, shown sufficient strength of straw to make thee, profit- 

 able sorts for farmers to cultivate. The variety called Caucasian Huliess, which has 

 now been tested for four years, has given good yields, but it cannot be recommended 

 without further trial, as the straw has shown decided indications of weakness in 

 seme seasons.
