HISTORICAL SOURCE

The catalogue record shows that this item exists and describes it; it does not show what the item says. SmellBook verifies a statement from it only through a checked passage, cited by its location, and reproduces none of its text.

CITATION CHECK

Title, creator, publisher and date checked against the catalogue record on 2026-10-05 by an automated check. The Wikisource Index record (1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 13, 1911) and the Internet Archive item agree on the work and year; the article page spans images 119–122 and carries no contributor's initials. Date confirmed to the year. SmellBook publishes only the citation, the location of the passage and its own claim, never the work’s text.

Coumarin and good hay in 1911 ↗

The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica's article on hay as fodder says good hay should come out green and smelling of coumarin, the substance it credits with the scent of new-mown hay.

A reference work describing hay quality in its own time; SmellBook records what it says, not a present-day analysis of hay.
