In more recent trials near Dover, New Hampshire, strain B has also 

 produced high yields, especially in midsummer. This strain has been named 

 Saratoga by the New York Experiment Station, and plantings have been 

 made to increase seed supplies. 



Results are given in Table 4 for the test at Colebrook, New Hampshire. 

 An excellent stand of bromegrass and Ladino clover was obtained in 

 this test. Figure 2 shows that the stand of bromegrass was still good in 

 the third season. 



Fischer was highe-st in yield for the 4-year period. The strain from 

 Oklahoma and the two northern types was significantly lower in yield 

 in 1953, but Canadian commercial and Parkland produced good yields 

 after 19.53.
