Synopsis Lemhi and Thatcher varieties of spring wheat differed for all characters studied except heads per plant. The intensity of red kernel color among the segregates had no influence on plant yield or on the various yield components. Heads per plant and kernels per head were more closely associated with yield per plant than was kernel weight.
