Ber Ban is a name used for Fultz wheat in CampbeU Cotmty. Tenn. Blue- 
stem and Bluestem I\iltz are names often used by farmers for Fultz wheat 
in the Ohio Valley, where the variety is extensively grown. Economy is 
the name under which a sample 
of wheat similar to Fultz was ob- 
tained in 1912 from the Cornell 
I'niversity Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station. A variety was 
grown under this name by the Ohio 
Agricultural Exi>eriment Station 
as early as 1900. Its further his- 
tory is undetermined. It is grown 
imder this name in Kentucky. Ohio, 
and Virginia. New Economy is 
gro^Ti in Tennessee and may have 
the same or a different origin. 
Everitt's High Grade and High 
Grade are names first used for 
Fultz by J. A. Everitt in 1SS6, 
while a seedsman at Watertown. 
Pa. When distributed, the state- 
ment was made that it was a cross 
of "Martin's Amber on a number 
of other varieties." This statement 
attracted considerable comment at 
the time (20, p. 706), and as the crossing was begun only four years previous 
to distribution it v>-as shown that the statement was absurd and that the wheat 
distribute was principally the Fultz variety mixed with several other wheats. 
The firm, however, continued to advertise and sell the wheat but it was later 
advertised as " Everitt's High Grade, or Perpetuated Fultz.'' High Grade and 
Everitt's High Grade were reported grown in Hlinois, Indiana. Kentucky, Mary- 
land, ^Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio. Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. 
Grains o'Gold also was in part Fultz wheat distributed by J. A. Everitt from 
his O. K. Seed Store, IndianapoUs, Ind. It apparently was a mixture of Fultz, 
Gipsy, and several other varieties. It was reported grown in Kentucky. Mis- 
souri, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Halver and Roosevelt are names 
used for a wheat very similar to Fultz in Pike and Gibson Counties. Ind.. where 
it has been grown for sis years in the vicinity of Stendal. One sample differed 
from Fultz in having a laxer and thicker spike which nodded. Hickman is 
the name of a variety similar to Fultz. the origin of which is undetermined. 
It was grown by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station for the first time 
in 1802. It possibly is a .strain of Fultz wheat named for Prof. J. Fremont 
Hickman, form>er agronomist at the Ohio station, after his death. It is grown
