This variety has a more nodding spike than Rudy and does not have the black stripes on the glumes. History.—Gluten B 86 was first obtained by the United States Department of Agriculture from the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station, in 1913, which in turn obtained it from the California station in 1902. Its origin is un- determined. Distribution.—Grown by the Indiana and Wisconsin Agricultural Experi- ment Stations. It is not known to be grown commercially. Description.—Plant winter habit, midseason, midtall to tall; stem purple, midstrong to strong; spike awned, fusiform, middense, inclined; glumes gla- brous, white, midlong, wide; shoulders midwide, oblique to square; beaks 1 to 2 mm. long; awns 2 to 6 em. long; kernels red, long, soft, ovate to elliptical, slightly humped; germ midsized; crease midwide, deep, pitted; cheeks rounded to angular; brush midsized, midlong. Nigger differs from Gluten and Rudy chiefly in having purple straw and shorter beaks. A spike, glumes, and kernels of Nigger are shown in Plate XLII, B.
