GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. 
A bearded Wheat, habit semi-erect, perfectly hardy and very early ; in some respects 
resembling in appearance the Kubanka and Saxonka Russian Wheats, but more productive than 
either of the foregoing. 
A most valuable Wheat for late Sp.'‘ing as well as for Autumn sowing. 
Pronounced by well-known authority to be a great advance, and destined to be the Spring 
Wheat of the future for England, Canada, Russia, and wherever late Spring sowing is practised. 
Long, stout, pale yellow straw ; very productive ; grain of fine quality. 
Two Ears of this Selection contained respectively 67 and 60 grains. 
This Selection was estimated to produce 48 bushels per acre upon poor burning soil 
at our Seed Farms in 1887. 
“ The selection from this crossing is distinctly earlier than either parent, and it in many 
respects bears a resemblance as a bearded wheat to the Russian varieties, Kubanka and 
Saxonka.” — Bell's Weekly Messenger.
