  A 
  variety 
  of 
  beardless 
  winter 
  wheat, 
  

   called 
  Krassny 
  besostaia, 
  extensively 
  grown 
  in

  Hordeum

  L. 
  Barley. 
  

   From 
  Rostov, 
  Russia. 
  

  

  "(No. 
  1737a, 
  December 
  19, 
  1911.) 
  A 
  new 
  variety 
  of 
  black 
  summer 
  barley, 
  

   called 
  Chorny 
  gladko-osti. 
  First 
  found 
  at 
  the 
  agricultural 
  experiment 
  station 
  

   in 
  Taganrog, 
  southern 
  Russia. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  decided 
  improvement 
  on 
  the 
  ordinary 
  

   barleys 
  with 
  their 
  hooked 
  awns, 
  which 
  make 
  them 
  especially 
  objectionable 
  for 
  

   feeding 
  purposes. 
  Obtained 
  at 
  the 
  agricultural 
  experiment 
  station 
  near 
  

   Rostov, 
  through 
  Mr. 
  S. 
  M. 
  Groobnieff, 
  Secretary 
  of 
  the 
  Don-Kuban-Tersk 
  

   Agricultural 
  Society. 
  This 
  barley 
  seems 
  to 
  do 
  well 
  in 
  regions 
  with 
  rather 
  

   high 
  summer 
  temperatures 
  and 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  only 
  a 
  relatively 
  light 
  precipi- 
  

   tation. 
  To 
  be 
  used 
  exclusively 
  for 
  breeding 
  purposes.

  1911.) 
  A 
  variety 
  of 
  millet 
  called 
  Chorny 
  proso. 
  

   It 
  has

  and 
  is 
  a 
  medium-early 
  ripener. 
  In 
  Kharkof 
  it 
  is 
  con- 
  

   sidered 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  best 
  variety. 
  Obtained 
  from 
  Mr. 
  P. 
  V. 
  Budrin, 
  Director 
  of

  A 
  variety 
  of 
  sunflower 
  called 
  Zelenka, 
  

   which 
  has

  is 
  cultivated 
  for 
  oil 
  production 
  exclusively, 
  and

   specially 
  recommended 
  as
