No. 7 in the table. Ear short and compact, not quite so square as No. 2 which it otherwise resembles externally, from two and a half to three inches long, grain, plump and oblong, rather coarser skinned than No. 1, hardy, tillers remarkably. Blooms rather

earlier than No. 2. Straw short and slight, four feet high, not at all liable to be laid. Sheds little, highly productive having afforded fifty eight imperial bushels to the acre, this season.

No. 4. Triticum Hybridum, Talavera Belvuensis. Ear Long, Straggling, and Pyramidal, from four to six inches long. Grain large, oblong and thin skinned. Tillers moderately. Earliest to bloom, eight or ten days sooner than the three preceeding sorts. Straw tall, slight and bending, and brittle if over ripe, liable to lay in rich land, highly farinaceous.

In Class 2.-Velvet Husked. White Wheat. No. 1. Triticum Koeleri.-La Gasca, 1832. Ear large, rather close. Downy or velvetty. White very plump, roundish, oval, thin skinned grain. Tillers remarkably. Blooms rather early. Straw four feet four inches to four feet seven inches, very white and firm, not liable to shed, retains moisture from its huskiness, therefore should be harvested when dry, has produced twenty six pounds of superior white bread from eighteen pounds of flour, and has produced fifty five imperial bushels of 64 lbs the acre. Such is the sort of classification I should wish to introduce, not one in a dead or botanical language,
