HYBRIDS AND VARIATIONS IN WHEAT. 349 
which were not preserved, and, in 1908, produced two 
forms : 
C'1121, to a great extent, kept true to type, has not 
sensibly varied since then, and still exists in 1906. 
C'1122, one single plant, durwm, rosy, with a small 
square and glabrous ear, very long beard, large 
yellow grain; has not varied, and still exists in 
1906. 
C'113 was a wheat that looked like a spelt, hairy, with a 
greyish, long, very recurved ear, with large yellow grain ; 
returned, in 1902, to type C'11, and was destroyed. 
C'12 was a durum wheat, with a hairy ear, the grain streaked 
with black; very much like C'l, but with a longer ear, 
slender, the grain white and thin. In 1900, it produced 
some plants with white ears, which were not preserved. In 
1901, it produced two forms: €'121 and ©'122. 
C'121, for the most part, was like C'12._ This wheat did 
not vary in 1902, but in 1903 it produced C'1211 and 
€'1212. 
C'1211, in nine cases out of ten, was the same as the 
type, and has not varied since. 
C'1212 was a durwm wheat having the same form as 
€'1211, but glabrous and white: it has remained 
fixed until now. 
C'122 had a white ear, of the nature of B?113, with long 
white grain, looking like a soft wheat; but, in 1902, it 
returned to type C'12 and was destroyed. 
C'2 was, in 1896, a durum wheat, pale rosy, glabrous, slender, with 
long yellow opaque grain. Has not varied, and still exists in 1906. 
C? Faminy. 
C*.—This family was particularly interesting on account of the appear- 
ance of dwruwm beardless wheats. 
In 1886, C*? was a durum bearded wheat, clear red, with very hollow 
straw, which easily dropped its seed (see p. 346). In 1887, it produced 
four forms, called C*1, C#2, 093, C#4. As form C%3 approached nearest 
to type C* we shall describe it first. 
C3 reproduced itself in 1888, but, in 1889, gaye two varieties, C31 
and C32. 
C731, a durwm rosy wheat, beardless, but awned. 
From 1889 to 1906 it appeared year after year more or less strongly 
awned, and, in 1894, almost altogether bearded; it still exists 
in 1906 in the form of a duwrwm wheat. 
C732, which more nearly approaches to type C* and C°3 than the 
preceding, is quite bearded and red ; it varied in 1894, and gave 
C321 and C*322.
