  Variety 
  graecum. 
  A 
  variety 
  of 
  soft 
  

   summer 
  wheat, 
  called 
  KhivinsJcaia, 
  coming 
  originally 
  from 
  dry 
  and 
  hot 
  Khiva, 
  

   Russian 
  Turkestan. 
  This 
  grain 
  at 
  Krassny 
  Koot, 
  however, 
  was 
  received 
  from 
  a 
  

   firm 
  in 
  Germany 
  named 
  Dreifus. 
  This 
  wheat 
  produces 
  a 
  flour 
  especially 
  

   suitable 
  for 
  biscuit 
  making 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  valuable 
  in 
  America 
  for 
  this 
  

   purpose."

  Russia. 
  

  

  "(No. 
  1710a, 
  November 
  20, 
  1911.) 
  A 
  very 
  strong-growing 
  hybrid 
  alfalfa 
  

   having 
  erect 
  heavy 
  stems 
  which 
  are 
  well 
  supplied 
  with 
  foliage. 
  Obtained 
  

   from 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  S. 
  Bogdan, 
  at 
  Krassny 
  Koot, 
  who 
  is 
  making 
  extensive 
  selection 
  

   and 
  hybridization 
  experiments 
  with 
  Medicago 
  falcata 
  and 
  has 
  obtained 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  very 
  promising 
  types, 
  some 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  suitable 
  for 
  raising 
  exclusively 
  for 
  hay, 
  

   while 
  others 
  are 
  better 
  for 
  pasturing 
  purposes. 
  

  

  "The 
  climate 
  around 
  Krassny 
  Koot 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  severely 
  continental 
  nature. 
  

   The 
  summers 
  are 
  hot 
  and 
  dry 
  and 
  the 
  winters 
  long 
  and 
  cold, 
  with 
  very 
  little 
  

   snow, 
  as 
  a 
  rule. 
  The 
  medicagos 
  selected 
  there 
  may 
  prove 
  especially 
  suited 
  

   to 
  the 
  drier 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  western 
  United 
  States. 
  The 
  plant 
  from 
  which 
  

   these 
  seeds 
  came 
  bears 
  Mr. 
  Bogdan's 
  No. 
  158, 
  and 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  his 
  best 
  types."

  of 
  moderate 
  growth 
  occurring

  slopes 
  in 
  a 
  country 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  much 
  limestone 
  forma- 
  

   tion. 
  Probably 
  there 
  are 
  several 
  types 
  or, 
  perhaps, 
  even 
  species 
  in 
  this 
  Jot 
  

   of 
  seed. 
  To 
  be 
  tested 
  in 
  dry, 
  sandy
