Meacham’s Lespedeza Display Which Won First 
Prize At the 1934 Annual Kentucky State Fair 
I am specializing at present in the production of A 
“MEACHAM’S EARLY MATURING MAMMOTH 
GROWING KOREAN LESPEDEZA” which has de¬ 
veloped from selecting the vigorous early maturing 
plants from the original Korean importation.. I have 
grown these seed on our home farm since 1929. My 
yields and growth has ranked among the highest in 
the state each year. 
A limited supply of these seed are available to the 
discriminating buyer who wishes to produce com¬ 
mercial seed crops and wants the best that can be 
bought. I also produce large quantities each year 
of Kentucky Certified Korean Lespedeza Seed. Only 
the first and second year crops from one seeding 
are eligible for certification and must be grown from 
fields sown with certified seed of known origin, the 
fields must show NO DODDER at field inspection 
made by a representative of the Kentucky Seed Im- y 
provement Association, and must have varietal 
purity of not less than 99.8%, the seed then must be 
cleaned to better than 99% purity and show NO 
DODDER or other noxious weeds in laboratory test 
of not less than 100 grams. This test is twenty times 
as rigid as the regular test on uncertified seed. Now 
do not be deceived by claims that ANY grower’s un¬ 
certified Korean is just as good as Kentucky Certified 
Korean, for no uncertified fields are subjected to the 
same rigid and expensive requirements that are 
necessary to certify. 
Today, as never before, thrift must be practiced in 
farming, but to buy cheap seed is false economy. Make 
your seed dollars go farther by sowting only 
“MEACHAM’S CERTIFIED KOREAN SEED.” The 
slightly higher cost than “ORDINARY” Korean seed 
is returned a hundredfold.
