   "This 
  is 
  a 
  small, 
  sparsely 
  leaved 
  annual 
  melilot, 
  native 
  of 
  Mediterranean 
  Europe 
  

   and

  In 
  former 
  tests 
  carried 
  on 
  

   by 
  the 
  Office 
  of 
  Forage-Crop 
  Investigations 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Plant 
  Industry 
  it 
  has 
  

   attained 
  a 
  height 
  of 
  only 
  10 
  to 
  15 
  inches 
  and 
  its 
  small 
  growth 
  makes 
  it 
  of 
  doubtful 
  

   value 
  for 
  the 
  United 
  States.
