 ment Farm, New South Wales." {Richardson.) 



48119. *Guyra. This matures at about the same season as Algerian, 

 with straw about equal in height to that variety, not coarse, but 

 strong. It stools very fairly, and has a compact head with dark- 

 brown plump grain which has a medium strong awn like its 

 parent, White Ligowo. The husk is not thick. Guyra is suited 

 to typical oat districts. It is a cross between Algerian and 

 White Ligoioo, and is one of the oats recommended for further 

 trial at the Experiment Farms. (Adapted from The Agricul- 

 tural Gazette, New South Wales, vol. 25, pt. 3, p. 236.)
