BECOMME^-DED VARIETIES OF BARLEY. 



Among tlie most productive six-row barleys are Manchurian, O.A.C. No. 21, and 

 Odessa. Among the prolific two-row sorts may be mentioned Gold (a new Swedish 

 variety with rather unsatisfactory straw), Duckbill, and some of the strains of Chev- 

 alier. Early Chevalier is an extra early strain, but is not remarkably productive. 



The hooded (or 'beardless') types of barley at present obtainable in commerce are 

 not very satisfactory. Success and Champion are two of the best kinds. They are 

 both very early in ripening, but they generally give a rather small yield. These are 

 eix-row barleys. 



The common sorts of hulless barley are Hulless White (a hooded sort), and Hulless 

 Black (bearded). These are not specially productive and have rather poor straw as a 

 rule. 



SPRING RYE. 



Owing to the shortage of land, the usual plots of spring rye had to be omitted. 



Ottawa.
