MISSION VELDTGRASS Ehrharta calycina Sm., a new high-seed-yielding, non-shattering strain of perennial veldtgrass, with a general area of adaptation following the Mission Trail from San Diego to San Francisco, is now approved for certification in California. Foundation seed will be available next year through the Department of Agronomy, University of California, Davis, or the Soil Conservation Service District Seed Increase Program. Seed will not be available through commercial channels until 1965.

This research was done under Agricultural Experiment Station Project H-1194 and was supported in part by a grant from the Water Resources Center, Division of Agricultural Sciences, U.C., Davis.
