Frontier (N. Dak. No. 155) 
Fargo Common (N. Dak.No.1133) 
Cereal Investigations Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 16, 17, 18, and 19 were 
obtained in the spring of 1914 from the Judith Basin substation, 
Moccasin, Mont., where they had been used in experiments since 
1911. In that year C. I.. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 16 were obtained 
directly from the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment station at 
Fargo. C. I. Nos. 17 and 18 were secured from the substation at 
Williston, N. Dak., where they were grown that year for the first 
time from Fargo seed. Seed sent to Moccasin from Williston evi- 
dently was grown at Fargo. C. I. No. 19 was obtained from the State 
substation at Edgeley, N. Dak., in 1917, under the name Russian; 
although it, possibly is Frontier (C. I. No. 17, N. Dak. No. 155) or a 
selection from this variety, the State records are not clear on this 
point. The variety usually has given better results than Frontier 
in our experiments, and for this reason its identity has been main- 
tained. It has been grown, distributed, and the results published 
under the name of Russian (C. I. No. 19). 1 Russian is a general term 
used to designate most of the blue-flowered brown-seeded flaxes 
grown in the Northwest. For this reason this variety is here renamed 
Reserve. 
All of the varieties obtained by the Judith Basin substation from 
Fargo were selections and varieties developed by the agronomy de-
