52519. ManslioU winter gei'st II. Seeds of the first, second, and 

 " after " crop. It is shorter and stiffer than Mamliolt xcinter- 

 gerst I; however, it is susceptible to rnst. Of high weight per 

 hectoliter. (Adapted from Avtumn {Aug., 1919) Catalogue, Gron- 

 inger Zaaizaadvereemging.) 



52520 to 52522. Solanum tuberosum L. Solanaceae. Potato.

 mented with here and which has proved one of the best." 



52522. *' Tubers of a potato under extensive experimentation here 

 which has proved one of the best." 



52523 to 52529. Triticum aestivl^m L. Poacese. Common wheat. 

 (T. vulgare Vill.) 



" Varieties of winter wheat which surpass all those whiqh are known 

 in this country and which in my opinion deserve to be tested in every 

 region where winter wheat is cultivated." 



52523. Arid ens. seeds of the original, especially developed for light 

 soils by N. G. Addens, at Bellingwolde. Trials on the better 

 sand and i)eat soils are to be recommended. The cold resistance 

 of this wheat is vei*y good; the yield is about 40 hectoliters per 

 hectare; the straw is of medium length and fairly stiff; and the 

 head is not heavy. This variety is developed from the so-called 

 Belgian icheat and received from this a high value for baking.

 Zaaizaadvereenigin^. ) 



52524. Diekliuis I. Seeds of the " after crop." The straw is long 

 and stiff, and the grain red ; the cold resistance is somewhat 

 better than that of Wilhelmina ; and the yield is good. It is more 

 and more in demand for those soils which are not so well adapted 

 for the growing of wheat. (Adapted from Autumn Catalogue 

 {Aug., 1919), Groninger Zaaizaadvereeniging.) 



52525. MUlvoen III. Seeds of the original and " after " crop. The 

 variety is leafy with a large white grain. In yield and cold 

 resistance it compares with Wilhelmina. (Adapted from Autumn 

 Catalogue {Aug., 1919), Groninger Zaaizaadvereenxging.)
