SIBLEY’S 
IMPERIAL 
A New Hybrid BARLEY 
originated in 1878 by F. 
H. Horsford of Vermont, 
by crossing an imported 
variety upon the Cana¬ 
dian two-rowed, in or¬ 
der to combine the pro¬ 
lific quality of the for¬ 
eign with the hardiness 
of the Canadian. The 
success was complete, 
and we have in this pro¬ 
bably the finest Barley 
yet introduced. It is a 
magnificent six-rowed 
variety,and grows taller 
than the Canadian six- 
rowed, Heads long and 
full, some measuring 6% 
inches, and containing 
85 plump kernels;beards 
of medium length. Till¬ 
ers freely, and hence less 
seed is required of this 
than of the common 
sorts; a great acquisi¬ 
tion to Barley growers.
