BURBANK'S NEW STANDARD GRAINS 
Republic and in the United Stales, Mexico, China and Africa. The very 
poorest wheats by actual tests were received from select Argentina kinds 
and from Oklahoma. The wheals of the United Slates are often very far 
from uniform, though there are most notable exceptions. If my new 
wheats were in general use today there should be no deficiency, as the 
crop through the whole country would be enormously increased in quan- 
tity and value without one dollar more of expense for land, labor or 
fertilizer except the first outlay for the purchase of the improved kinds 
of seed. This early, hardy "Quality" wheat which I offer this season will 
not yield as much as some of the coarse macaroni wheats in some warm, 
dry sections, but for general culture, with its unusual hardiness and 
extreme earliness, uniformity, superior milling and bread-making quali- 
ties, it stands alone. It most resembles in all these respects the hard 
Northern wheat "Prize Marquis," but has a vitreous white berry of quite 
different appearance and quality and of about the same specific gravity 
as of granite. The heads are of medium size, tapering to a point, beard- 
less, and on ordinary land stand three and one-half to four feet in height. 
No trace of disease of any nature so far has ever affected it here. 
The chemical analysis and baking test of the new "Quality" wheal 
given below shows its unusual value.

This is well shown in the cut. 11 is a tremendous yielder, having long^, 
drooping, well-filled heads laden with extra large, fat, light-coloi-e^^Wery
