at Ghaiiottetown but at many of the stations in western Canada and 
in the United States. It is unquestionably one of the best Chevaher 
selections which have been made so far as its culture in America is 
concerned. Besides the tendency to drop the awns tliis selection 
often has more red on the nerves of the lemma just before maturity 
than is common with the Chevalier barley's. 
PRINCESS (C.I. NO. 529) 
Princess (C. I. Xo. 529) is a pedigreed variety originated by the 
Svalof Plant-Breeding Association, Svalof, Sweden. It was first 
imported into the United States by the Office of Foreign Seed and 
Plant Introduction of the United States Department of Agriculture 
in April, 1904, under S. P. I. No. 10583. Several other importations 
of Princess were made under later numbers, but because it is a pedi- 
greed variety these numbers have been discarded in favor of C. I. 
±\o. 529. It is a 2-rowed bearded barley. Like the Chevalier it 
requires a long growing season, but it is usually several days later in 
ripening than Chevalier. It has not proved a high-yielding sort in 
the United States. 
HANNA (C.I. NO. 203) 
Introduced into the United States by the Office of Foreign Seed 
and Plant Introduction of the United States Department of Agri- 
culture in January, 1901, from Kwassitz, Moravia, Austria, Hanna 
(C. I. No. 203) has been grown for many j'ears in Germany and 
Austria for Brewing purposes. It is a 2-rowed bearded barley with 
lax head like that of Chevalier. It is earlier than Chevalier and has 
a long-haired rachiLla. While it has been widely tested at a number 
of experiment stations thi^oughout the United States, it has not been 
outstanding in point of yield at any one of them. This type of 
barley seems best adapted to the New England States, New York, 
Pennsylvania, and western North Dakota. At the Cornell Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station several crosses have been made with Hanna 
which seem very promising. 
GOLD (C. I. NO. 1145) 
Produced by the Svalof Plant-Breeding Station of Svalof, Sweden, 
several importations of Gold (C. I. No. 1145) have been made both 
by the United States Department of Agriculture and by experiment 
stations in the United States and Canada. As it originated as^a 
plant selection the various importations may be considered identical. 
Gold is a barley of the Hanna type. Its appearance is not at all 
striking. It was only after it had been tested for a number of jesirs 
at the Svalof station that its yielding abilit}^ was sufficiently demon- 
strated to attract attention. This variety has been widely tested in 
the United States and Canada in recent yeai-s. It has been in the 
test only a few yeare at most places. In recent yeare it has produced 
high yields at Ottawa, Ontario, and Indian Head, Saskatchewan, but 
was inferior to Manchurian (CI. No. 739) at Ottawa and to O. A. C. 
21 (C. I. No. 1470) at Indian Head. It was not so good as Garton 68 
(C. I. No. 2740), Haimchen (C. I. No. 531), or Manchurian (C. I. 
No. 739) at Brandon, Manitoba. In the United States Gold has 
been grown at a number of stations. It has sho^vTi promise over a
