GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. 
Fine coloured straw, considerably longer than either parent, habit erect ; the Ears are 
also longer. In shape of Ear, colour of grain, and habit of growth, the character of the 
male parent prevails. 
This is one of the earliest Wheats, whilst the quality of the grain is pronounced 
by Mark Lane men to be excellent. 
A peculiarity of this Selection is that the grain is varied in colour, i.e. both red and 
pale-coloured berries are to be found in the same Ear, and we have reason to think this 
peculiarity will prove to be permanent. 
Recommended for early Spring as well as for Autumn sowing. 
Two Ears of this Selection contained respectively 70 and 63 berries. 
ABSOLUTELY FREE FROM RUST, 1890. 
J Pope Lord, Esq., Lincolnshire, writes : “ A full crop of Carters' New Cross Bred Wheat, ‘ Flourball, 
would have shown 4S to 54 bushels per acre. The straw is medium, the crop is quite clean and free from rust or 
smut, and the quality better than others.”
