Bulletin 113 of the Maine Agricultural 
Experiment Station, Orono, Me., gives 
a condensed summary of some of the 
practical results of the horticultural 
work of the Station. The second part 
of the bulletin gives in detail the results 
of two years study of red clover ob- 
tained from different parts of the world. 
It was found among other things, that 
the European clovers were invariably 
smooth and free from hairs on stem 
and leaves, while American clovers were 
invariably more or less hairy. This may 
be an important factor in relation to 
the dustiness of clover hay.
