Extract

The original object of the breeding investigations described above was to secure a new variety of oats exhibiting the resistance to winter conditions and the grain quality characteristic of Grey Winter, in combination, if possible, with straw of better standing power.

The characters of the hybrids studied in the course of the investigations were accordingly resistance to winter conditions, standing power of the straw, quality of the grain, and the early growth habit, particularly in relation to these three features.
