winter well. In' June, 1906, the Silesian clover (plot 8) was 
not quite so advanced as the Canadian varieties and did not 
show so much flower. Plot 4 (English late-flowering) was 
similar to it in this respect. Plots 1 and 2 (Chilian and 
Canadian) looked about the best. All the plots were cut on 
June 22, and the produce weighed. A second cutting was 
obtained of all the plots on August 8, except plot 5 (English 
late-flowering), which was cut on August 20. The weights of 
produce, as clover hay, are given in Table XIX.

From these results it will be seen that, while the English 
late-floAvering red gave the largest first cut, the second cutting 
was very small, and the highest total produce was obtained in 
the year from the English red, though this was not appreciably 
in advance of either the Chilian or the two Canadian varieties. 
The Silesian clover gave much the lowest produce of all. The 
largest second cut was got from the English red. The plots 
will be left down for another year.
