Very rare and limited inventory: Our original seed stock came from Kusa. An interesting USDA report from 1916 (USDA Bulletin 450--Improvements of Ghirka Spring Wheat in Yield and Quality) detailing their early testing of Ghirka 1517 as they looked for drought resistance.
Two packets options, minimum:
a) 50 choice hand selected seeds
