The Goldthorpe Barley originated some years ago upon 
the land of a Nottinghamshire Farmer. A single ear was 
found in a crop of Chevalier, attracting attention by reason 
of its closely-packed, even-grained appearance, as well as 
by the length of the straw, and robust character of the 
plant from which it sprang. The Goldthorpe Barley has 
been carefully re-selected each year up to the present date, 
the handsome appearance of the crops securing admiration 
from all who have seen it in growth. It is distinct from 
the Spratt, Archer, or Beardless Barleys, and the grain is 
of first-rate malting quality. 
The Goldthorpe Barley is remarkable for stout straw, 
rendering it less liable to layer in rainy weather than other 
Barleys ; it ripens forward on strong land, and the grain is 
very level, and of fine texture. 
“ I may state I have grown a large quantity of Carters’ Goldthorpe Barley and find 
it yields better than any other sort, and for the last few years I have made more money of 
it than any other.” — II. D. 
“ I purchased half a bushel of Goldthorpe Barley last Spring, and I must say that it 
is a beautiful crop for the season. I shall let you know what I get from it in course of 
time. It has made some of our country folk open their eyes, and it’s the talk of the 
village.”— T.W.C.
