Varieties Through Crossing.—Probably the best known variety in this country produced by simple crossing is Fulcaster, \ red-grained, semihard, bearded variety produced in 1886 by S. M. Schindel, Hagerstown, Md., by crossing Fultz and Lancaster. (103) An example of continued crossing with different varieties for several generations is to be found in Early Genesee Giant, a bearded, red-grained variety produced by A. N. Jones, Newark, N. Y. Jones' Winter Fife, Early Red Clawson and many others have been produced in this Oiagram showing pedigree of Early Genesee Giant. Way. (After Carieton.) In the Varieties just mentioned only varieties of the same subspecies have been used in crossing. John Garton of England, William Far- rar of New South Wales and W. Rimpau of Germany have produced wheat hybrids by crossing two or more subspecies, as common wheat, durum wheat and spelt. Where crosses cannot be made directly between two subspecies, it may be accom- plished indirectly by first producing a hybrid between one type and an intermediate type. Speaking of plants in general, John Garton says that every two species of plants have a go- between, and given a thousand years he could cross any two plants in the world. 105.
