Winter (C. I. No. 1438), which is not bearded, these hard varieties 
are bearded, white chaffed, and red grained. 
The two varieties which do not belong to the hard group are 
apanese (C. I. No. 1787), eleventh in rank, and Gold Coin (C. I.

MISCELLANEOUS DATA ON WINTER WHEATS. 
After the grain yields of the winter-wheat varieties have been con- 
sidered, the data most significant im making comparisons are (1) the 
stand, (2) the date of heading, (3) the date of ripening, (4) the height, 
(5) the ratio of grain to straw, and (6) the bushel weight of the grain. 
A summary of these data for the past five years is presented in Table 
X, each factor of which will be considered separately.
