| Notes: | Label source: Extract from letter from John McDougall to Mr Dyer dated July 19 1884 Millwall Docks East London July 19 1884: The wheat is valued at about 30/- per 496 lbs if being classed with the Nubanca (Russian) wheat its bright and clean appearance c, ausing much remark. On grinding and pasting I find it contains much gluten but it is somewhat sticky. Is there any particular reason to grow this seed as I think it would pay better to grow the white seed such as is now shipped from Bombay and is now wort, h say 39/- per 496 lbs here. Quantities from this (your) sample would at once command a ready sale and if you could procure say 20 grs. I should be glad to grind and bake it and report to you.
