Abstract
THURBER, Douglas and Galston1 recently issued a warning against the application of gibberellins to legumes, because they found that nodulation of dwarf beans was decreased by this means. On the other hand, Fletcher, Alcorn and Raymond2 found no adverse effects when gibberellic acid was applied to white clover plants growing in agar or soil cultures.
