Sweet-Clover Seed by H. S. Coe and John N. Martin
"Sweet-Clover Seed" by H. S. Coe and John N. Martin is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work focuses primarily on the methods of pollination and the structural properties of sweet clover seeds, particularly those of the species Melilotus alba. The authors explore factors affecting seed production, the role of various pollinators, and the unique characteristics of the seed coat that contribute to the germination process. The opening
of the publication introduces the challenges faced in achieving satisfactory yields of sweet clover seed, attributing these issues to different factors, including inadequate pollination and environmental conditions. The authors outline their experiments undertaken on government farms, detailing the investigations into pollination methods, the anatomy of sweet clover flowers, and the relationship between moisture levels and seed production. Through a series of systematic studies, the text establishes a foundational understanding of how pollinators, particularly insects, influence seed development and the importance of environmental conditions during flowering.
