best clovers that can be planted in the 
weather, is immune to chinch bugs and has

LESPEDEZA 
LESPEDEZA or JAPAN CLOVER—One of the 
best clovers that can be planted in the 
South. Planted at the rate of one bushel to 
the acre from December to May. If sown on 
sod the land should be first scarified with 
disk harrow in order to give the seed a 
good seed bed. Thrives on very poor soils 
and continually improves them, at the same 
time yielding a highly profitable and nu- 
tritious forage. One bushel to the acre. 25 
lbs. to the bushel. 
1 Ib. $1.00; 5 lbs. $4.50, postpaid. Write for 
Prices on larger quantities. 
“KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
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. rows taller than Common, larger 
lant and coarser, with broader leaflets. 
orean 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. 
1 Ib. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 
KOBE LESPEDEZA 
Kobe has certainly earned a home for itself 
on Southern farms, particularly where long 
periods of drought occurred, for Kobe came 
through these droughts 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 root system 
and its rank growth, with larger than ordinary 
leaves. We have seen Kobe 36 inches tall but 
usually it is 2 to 242 feet tall. We have seen 
yields of 4 tons per acre with Kobe. It is ex- 
cellent for hay and pasture alike. Can be 
sown with oats, also with orchard grass and 
red top or herd’s grass. 
1 lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $2.25, postpaid.
