a 
CLASSIFICATION OF AMERICAN WHEAT VARIETIES. 21 
Humpback II, Emerald for Early Spring, Pentad for D-5, and 
Vernal for White Spring emmer. Of these, the first two are selec- 
tions of existing synonyms that have been long used. The third and 
fourth are new names adopted because of the confusion existing in 
American literature between the varieties formerly called Ghirka 
Winter and Ghirka Spring and between Humpback and Hump- 
back II, or Smooth Humpback. The fifth and seventh are new 
names selected for varieties formerly known only under the designa- 
tion of a descriptive adjective, and the sixth is a name selected for a 
variety formerly known only by a letter and number combined. 
The revision of varietal names is undertaken in this classification. 
The code provides that, if desirable, revision should be done, but 
without losing the identity of the name to the variety. Revision is 
absolutely necessary in some cases in order to avoid duplication of 
names and confusion and in other cases is desirable to simplify and 
standardize the nomenclature. These are important objects of the 
classification: Some revisions have already been made and the 
identity of the varietal name retained. Hxamples of this are Turkey 
for Turkey Red and Peliss for Pelissier. 
The following simplifications of the names of wheat varieties are 
made in this classification. The rules of the code have been followed 
‘in all instances. In some cases the simplified name is not as satis- 
factory as might be desired, but undoubtedly it is an improvement. 
Several undesirable names of recognized varieties have not been 
revised, because it does not appear practicable at the present time, 
as they have about gone out of cultivation or are of little commer- 
cial importance.
