| B-5128 was released by NDSU in 1943. It was a tall, high yielding, late maturity, large seeded variety with blue blossoms. It had excellent rust resistance and moderate wilt resistance. | |
| B-5128 (SS) was from a composite of several selections from the B-5128 variety made by the ND State Seed Department. Selections were made and increased to eliminate off-types and rust susceptible types present in B-5128. B-5128 (SS) showed more uniformity in plant type, height, seed type and maturity. | |

| Marine was released by USDA and NDSU in 1951. It was an early maturity, brown seeded variety with blue blossoms. Marine was similar to Sheyenne in plant height and seed characteristics. It had high wilt resistance and resistance to all North American rust races but had only fair tolerance to Pasmo. Maturity was slightly later than Sheyenne. | |
| Marine 62 was a bulk of lines selected from Marine at the MN Experiment Station. Its appearance and performance was similar to Marine but it had a slightly higher oil content and lower iodine value. It was less tolerant to Pasmo than Marine. | |
| Neche was released by NDSU in 1988. It is a full-season variety with resistance to all known North American races of rust. | |
| ND No. 155 | No. 155 was put in field trials in 1899 and first distributed to farmers in ND in Spring 1906. It provided high yields, averaging 2+ bushels more per acre, in comparison to the best common varieties being grown at that time. |
| Norland was released by NDSU in 1961. It had good plant height and excellent rust resistance. Norland was a late maturity variety with fairly large brown seeds and white blossoms. It gave good yields withgood oil content and oil quality. Maturity was similar to Victory but it had more rust resistance and uniformity then Victory. | |
| NEKOMA Flax | Nekoma flax was released from the ND Agricultural Experiment Station in 2002. Nekoma flax has been trial tested extensively in the Dakota's, Minnesota and Manitoba. It is a late maturing, blue flowered, brown seeded flax. Nekoma is significantly earlier than McGregor flax in days to flower and similar in maturity and seed test weight. Nekoma has about 2% greater oil content than McGregor. Nekoma is resistant to all known races of North American flax rust and has good tolerance of flax wilt. In the 3 years of research trials, Nekoma outyielded the check variety McGregor by 7%. It has a high linolinic acid content which is reflected in a very high iodine value. |

| Rahab was released by SD in 1985. It flowers 4 days later than Culbert but 2 days earlier than Dufferin. It is resistant to flax rust and moderately resistant to wilt. Rahab shows considerable variation in height. | |
| RENEW Flax | Renew was released by NDSU in 1942. Renew was a tall, mid-early, medium-tall brown seeded variety with blue blossoms. It had excellent rust resistance and moderate wilt resistance but was very susceptible to Pasmo. |
| Sheyenne was released by USDA and NDSU in 1945. It was an early variety which made it desirable for late planting or early sowing where high temperatures or late drought were a concern. Sheyenne had brown seed and blue blossoms. It was resistant to rust and wilt. | |
| SMOKEY GOLDEN Flax | a yellow seeded variety |
| VIKING Flax | Viking was released by NDSU in 19 . Viking was a mid-late, very short golden-seeded variety with pale pink blossoms. It had excellent rust resistance and moderate wilt resistance but was susceptible to Pasmo. It gave good yields but lack of height was a problem with the variety. |
| Victory was released by NDSU in 1943. It was a mid-late maturity variety with large brown seeds and white blossoms. Height was variable. Victory had excellent rust resistance and moderate wilt resistance but was susceptible to Pasmo. | |
| WALSH Flax | Walsh was released by NDSU in 19 . Walsh was a medium height, mid-late variety with large blue blossoms and very large brown seeds. Yield was often low due to poor seed set. It had fair wilt and excellent rust resistance but was very susceptible to Pasmo. |
| Webster was released by SD in 1998. It is a medium tall, late-maturity variety with moderate lodging resistance. Seed size and oil content are average. It is resistant to flax rust but moderately susceptible to wilt. | |
| WISHEK Flax | Wishek was released by NDSU in 1979. It was a blue-flowered, brown-seeded flax. Wishek was superior for late seeding in ND. In SD it outyielded Linott, Culbert and Dufferin by 5, 10 and 18% respectively, and by 1% in regional trials. Wishek was resistant to all known Rust races but was moderately susceptible to wilt |

York flax was released from the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2002.Named after the town of York, ND in Benson county, it is a flax variety that has been tested extensively in the Dakota’s, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. York, a full season maturing flax, is similar to McGregor flax in days to flower, maturity and test weight. York has a slightly larger seed weight and about a 0.5 percent greater oil content than McGregor. York has blue flowers and larger than average brown seed size. York is resistant to all known races of North American Flax rust and has good tolerance to flax wilt. In three years of trials, early plantings of York yielded 17 percent more than McGregor and in late plantings, York yielded 22 percent more than McGregor. McGregor, developed in Canada, is a check variety in regional flax trials. |
