Distribution. — Grown in Lake County, Calif. 
Si/nonym. — Canadian Spring. Ttiis name is also used for Canadian Red in 
Lake County, Calif. 
LONGBEEBY NO. 1 (JONES LONGBEREY NO. 1). 
Description. — Plant winter habit, midseason, tall; stem white, midstrong; 
spike awned, oblong-fusiform, middense, inclined; glumes glabrous, brown, 
midlong, midwide; shoulders midwide, usually rounded; beaks 3 to 10 mm. 
long ; awns 3 to 7 cm. long ; kernels white, midlong to long, soft, ovate, curved ; 
germ small to midsized ; crease midwide, middeep, pitted ; cheeks rounded ; 
brush midsized, midlong to long. 
History. — Longberry No. 1 was originated by A. N. Jones {128), at Newark, 
Wayne County, N. Y. Concerning its origin he has written as follows : 
This Amber Longberry wheat sent out in bulk in 1898 has proved to be one 
of great value in all sections. Originating from a cross seedling, parentage of 
which came from a cross between Mediterranean and Russian Velvet. 
Distribution. — Jones Longberry was reported grown in Kentucky, Michigan, 
and New York. This may or may not be Longberry No. 1. 
NEW AMBER LONGBERRY. 
Description. — Plant winter habit, midseason to late, tall; stem purple, strong; 
spike awned, linear-fusiform, lax, inclined to nodding ; glumes glabrous, brown, 
midlong, midwide; shoulders wanting to narrow, oblique; beaks 2 to 5 mm. 
long ; awns 2 to 7 cm. long ; kernels white, long, soft, elliptical ; germ small to 
midsized; crease narrow to midwide, shallow to middeep; cheeks rounded; 
brush midsized, midlong to long. 
This variety differs principally from Longberry No. 1 in having purple straw 
and a longer, laxer, and more fusiform spike. 
History. — New Amber Longberry was obtained by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture in 1899 from A, N. Jones, of Newark, N. Y., who is recorded 
as having originated it. 
Distrihut'fon. — Grown in experiments at the Arlington Experimental Farm, 
near Rosslyn, Va. It is not known to be commercially grown. 
Description. — Plant spring habit, early, short to midtall ; stem hollow, white, 
slender, weak to midstrong ; spike awned, somewhat laterally compressed, oblong, 
dense, erect to inclined ; glumes glabrous, brown, midlong, midwide ; shoulders 
midwide, oblique ; beaks midwide, acuminate, 1 to 3 mm. long ; awns 2 to 6 cm. 
long; kernels white, midlong to long, semihard to hard, ovate, humped; germ 
midsized ; crease midwide, shallow ; cheeks angular ; brush midsized, midlong. 
This variety is not pure as commercially grown. It is very distinct and 
peculiar, as it represents nearly an intermediate form between common and 
durum wheat, and for that reason also somewhat resembles poulard wheat. It 
has the laterally compressed spike, sharply keeled glumes, and large, hard 
kernels of durum and the short, hollow stem, short awns, and midlong brush of 
common wheat. A spike, glumes, and kernels of Sevier are shown in Plate 
XLIV, A. 
History. — The origin of Sevier wheat is undetermined. It may be the re- 
sult of a natural field hybrid between common and durum wheat. It was 
first noted to be commercially grown in Utah by Stewart (186, p. 165) in the 
summer of 1918 and first listed as Kubanka durum wheat. Samples were
