CLOVER SEEDS 9 
Same field of Leapedeza Sericea at two stages of growth. 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA, the New Perennial Lespedeza 
is wholly a new type of Lespedeia, having an enormous root system that not only enriches the soil, but lives through¬ 
out the winter and starts the new crop from the old stubble in the spring, and multiplies rapidly when mowed or grazed 
off. Two cuttings of hay and a seed crop may be obtained each year, as high as four tons of dry hay in one season, the 
equal of alfalfa in feeding value. The plant is extremely leafy. 
SERICEA will grow apparently anywhere in the United States on almost any type of soil without liming or any kind 
of treatment. It is now growing on sour soil, on white buokshot and on poor sandy soil. 
For largest yield of seed, sow in three foot rows about three pounds of scarified seed per acre, cultivate to keep weeds 
down. Seed bed should be very firm and seed covered very lightly, then rolled for best results. Yields 300 to 400 pounds 
seed the first year and around one thousand pounds thereafter.

Kobe Lespedeza 
A new and improved type of Lespedeza which grows much 
ranker and has larger leaves and slightly coarser stems. It 
has been known to grow 38 inches tall, but usually about 2 
to 2 Vi feet. Possibly due to its rank growth, oompletely 
shading the ground and thus retaining moisture, it is muoh 
more resistant to dry weather and comes through a drought 
when common Lespedeza burns up. An excellent variety for 
pasture and hay and a great Improvement over the common 
Lespedeza.

Tennessee Station No. 76 
Lespedeza 
This variety is similar to the common or wild variety, 
except that it is taller and more upright in growth, holding 
all the branches off the ground, even when the plants stand 
alone. It is finer stemmed than Korean or Kobe, and grows 
to the height of nearly three feet under favorable conditions. 
It blooms slightly later than Kobe and considerably later 
than Korean or common. The hay yields made on the West 
Tennessee Experiment Farms are larger than those of the 
other varieties.
