CEREAL IMPROVEMENT SELECTION 205 



is adapted to a hot climate. Bobs was originated by 

 William Farrer, and is commonly stated to be a cross of 

 Blount Lambrigg and Nepal barley. This must be an 

 error, as such a cross is, so far, considered impossible, 

 and besides, the wheat has no resemblance to any barley. 

 It is a good wheat, however ; a quick grower, drought- and 

 rust-resistant, and has small, hard, translucent kernels. 

 It has done well in California. Gluyas was selected from 

 Ward Prolific. It yields well and is fairly rust-resistant, 

 and has met with much favor in south Africa.
