No.33] 397 
Straw unusually stout and erect at cutting, and but little lodged. — 
Tallest plant four feet one and one-half inch. Thrashes in good 
form. 
No. 22. Chinese Hulless (Gregory). Stools poorly, and rusted 
badly. Smutted slightly. Partially lodged at cutting. Tallest plant 
three feet ten inches. Longest panicle ten inches. In handling in 
the field, many grains fell from the spikelets. 
_ No. 23. Pringle’s Excelsior Hulless (Thorburn). Stools well. 
Foliage fair, but rusty to some extent. No smut. Lodges badly. 
_ In thrashing, while many berries are detached from the flowering 
glumes ina naked condition, many others retain the glumes, thus 
leaving the grain after thrashing in a very undesirable condition. 
This remark also applies to No. 22. .
