The term " variety " is used by seedsmen, plant- breeders and farmers in a wider and not so rigid sense as that applied by the botanist. Races of barley, the type of which has been materially changed by careful selection or cross-breeding for a period of years, are in common practice desig- nated as "; The Manshury or Manchuria, Oderbrucker, Golden Queen, Hanna, Silver King, and the like, are terms that have been given to various strains of barley, and each is often used as applying to a distinct variety. In common practice the name of the country from which a grain is received is often applied to the variety and may become known over a great extent of territory. The Manshury barley is known throughout the United States and Canada, and is more generally grown in parts of the middle West than any other type. Culture. Adaptability.—Barley is grown under a wider range of soil and climatic conditions than any other cereal, and readily adjusts itself to the natural environments under which it is placed. In Europe, barley is grown from the Mediterra- nean sea to Lapland, 70° north latitude, and in. Botanists now generally group all these as sub- types under the botanical name of Hordeum sati- Fig. 288. Heads of Manshury (or Manchuria) barley, for comparison with Oderbrucker. Fig. 289.
