Standby is a name used for Mediterranean in West Virginia. Swamp is a name commonly used, particularly in Indiana, for Mediterranean wheat. It was advertised by J. A. Everitt's Seed Store, of Indianapolis, Ind., in their fall catalogue of 1899, and probably was distributed for several years previous to that time. It was reported in 1919 from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia. RED BOCK. Description.âRed Rock is similar to Mediterranean except for a slightly longer, wider, and laxer spike and a harder kernel which has a wider and deeper crease. It also yields better and is superior to Mediterranean for mill- ing and bread making. A spike, glumes, and kernels of Red Rock are shown in Plate XLVI, B. History.âRed Rock was originated at the Michigan Agricultural Experi- ment Station, Lansing, Mich., from an individual kernel picked out of a white wheat called Plymouth Rock. The selection was first sown in tjie fall of 1908. By 1914, 60 bushels were sent out by the experiment station to as many farmers, 1 bushel being furnished each farmer. In 1915, 69 bushels were distributed in the same way. It is estimated that in the fall of 1915, 1,000 bush- els of Red Rock wheat were sown in the various parts of the State of Michigan (184, P- 3).
