E. A. (Eugene Amos) Hollowell

E. A. Hollowell, short for Eugene Amos Hollowell, was an American agricultural writer born on December 29, 1900. Public records indexed online list his lifespan as 1900–1977, and library and book databases connect his name with a series of U.S. Department of Agriculture publications.

He is best known for clear, practical works on forage plants and clovers, including Crimson Clover, Strawberry Clover, and Ladino White Clover for the Northeastern States. Surviving catalog records also attribute to him research on seed setting in red clover and other crop-related topics, suggesting a career focused on agronomy and useful field guidance rather than literary fame.

Today, Hollowell is mostly remembered through those compact USDA bulletins and reprints, which preserve a snapshot of American agricultural knowledge in the 1930s and 1940s. Reliable biographical detail beyond his dates and published work is limited in the sources I could confirm.
