Straw straight and stiff, and of medium height. Orain bright, plump and heavy. Head II to 18 inches long, branching and containing two or three times as many Oats as any other. Head from which our cut was made contained 34S grains. Grows quickly and ripens early, before severe drouths can ruin the crop. Never rust.-.
