Marouani. " This wheat is cultivated extensively on the elevated rolling lands in 

 the western part of the province, and is one of the best of the types of durum wheats 

 cultivated by the Arabs. The quantity obtained is from the estate of M. J. 

 Labouresse, at Tessala, near Sidi-bel- Abbes. It has been carefully selected by Mr. 

 Labouresse from year to year until a fairly pure and very vigorous stock has been 

 obtained. The variety is very hardy, resistant to rust, and succeeds fairly well under 

 rather droughty conditions. The grain is especially adapted for the manufacture of 

 semolina. In the province of Oran the wheat is sown in November and ripens in

 northern United States." (Fairchild and Scofield. )

 valuable sort, ripening ten to fifteen days earlier than the Marouani and similar
