A. —Morphological effect of bunt on wheat heads. The three on the left are Turkey, 
the others Hybrid 128. First head on the left, normal grain; second head, half wheat 
and half bunt; third, all bunt. The bunted heads are much elongated as if trying to 
grow away from the fungus. In Turkey the awns fall off prematurely on the bunted 
heads. The bunted head of Hybrid 128 on the extreme right looks like a vulgare 
instead of a compaction. 
B. —Parent varieties resistant to bunt. From left to right, Turkey, Florence, 
Marquis, Alaska. Turkey and Alaska are true winter wheats and can not be used for 
spring sowing. Florence and Marcpiis are typical spring wheats. Marquis and 
Turkey are the most popular varieties in the United States and Canada, measured 
by the quantity produced. Both are excellent breadmaking wheats.
