102154 and 102155. A vena Sativa L. 

 Poaceae. Oats. 



102154. Esakaura, ViottoJcaura X do- 

 mestic variety. An oat with a 

 moderately large white kernel, full 

 and with thin husks, so that it is 

 especially suitable for oatmeal pro- 

 duction. It thrives best in light 

 clay soil, but, on account of its 

 strong stalk, it can also be grown 

 successfully in swampy land. 



102155. Kytbkaura, Kultasade X do- 

 mestic variety. An oat with a 

 medium-sized yellow kernel. The 

 short strong stalk suits swampy 

 lands better than any other oat 

 variety. It thrives well also on 

 light clay soil. In spite of its 

 maturing early, it is one of the most 

 prolific varieties. Average time of 

 growth, 99 days. 



102156. HORDEUM DISTICHON PALMELLA 



Harlan. Poaceae. Two-rowed barley. 



Halikonohra. A two-sided drooping 

 variety of barley, with medium strong 

 stalks and large full kernels which ma- 

 ture in about 85 days. It is a heavy 

 yielder and does best in light soil. 



102157. HORDEUM VULGARE PALLIDUM 



Seringe. Poaceae. Six-rowed barley. 



Ollinohra. A northern Finnish do- 

 mestic barley, with very strong stalk 

 and rather small kernel. It is a very 

 early barley, maturing in about 72 days. 

 In the south of Finland this barley is 

 sown on fallow land and harvested be- 

 fore fall sowing. Due to its strong 

 stalk it is suitable also in swampy lands 

 and as a protective plant for hay. 



102158. Teiticum aestivum L. (T. vul- 

 gave Vill.). Poaceae. Common wheat. 



Varmavehna. A cross between the 

 Swedish Svea wheat and a domestic 

 wheat. The rather short, strong stalk 

 bears medium long, thick woolly ears 

 with large full kernels. This is a good 

 winter variety which ripens early and 

 gives a good yield.
