KOREAN LESPEDEZA 



Korean is the earliest of the annual Les- 

 pedezas, coming up first and growing rapidly, 

 therefore giving earliest grazing of any les- 

 pedeza. Grows taller than Common, larger 

 plant and coarser, with broader leaflets. 

 Korean matures earlier than other lespedezas, 

 seed beginning to ripen in September. The 

 only variety suitable for Northern half of the 

 United States. Korean is fine In combination 

 with grain for it will drop seed before time to 

 break the ground to sow grain In the fall. 

 Korean Is fine in pasture combinations, and an 

 abundant hay yielder.

Lespedeza, Korean 



KOBE LESPEDEZA 



Kobe has certainly earned a home for Itsell 

 on Southern farms, particularly where long 

 periods of drought occurred, for Kobe come 

 through these cfroughts where Common Les- 

 pedeza was burned out. The drought resist- 

 ance is a life-saver to a farmer, and is no 

 doubt due to the very extensive roof system 

 and its rank growth, with larger than ordinary 

 leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 Inches tall but 

 usually it is 2 to 2V2 leet tall. We have seen 

 yields of 4 tons per acre with Kobe. It Is ex- 

 cellent for hay and pasture alike. Can be 

 sov^n with oats, also with orchard grass and 

 red top or herd's grass.
