It grows anywhere — on acid soils, 
waste lands, worn-out, gravelly 
soils and galled hillsides, where 
nothing else of value will grow. 
Responds exceptionally well to lime. 
Withstands droughts that would kill 
other crops. 
Will stand heavy grazing. 
Nearly as high in feeding value as 
alfalfa, and relished by all stock. 
A valuable soil improver, for it is a 
legume. 
It increases the grazing capacity of 
pastures by 25 per cent. 
Reseeds itself every year even when 
severely grazed, but is easily killed 
out by a cultivated crop. 
f■ 11/ I I I —In sections where the 
v.ertmed !\obe Lespedeza seas ° n , is longer. Kobe, 
“ which is two to three 
weeks later, makes a considerably larger growth than Korean. In 
tests by one of the state experiment stations, Kobe outyielded 
other lespedezas in three of the four years the tests were" made. 
Kobe is of spreading growth, but stands up well when the stand is 
thick. In February or March sow 25 lbs. to the acre, either alone 
or on your grain, scarifying the land with a harrow before sowing. 
A bushel weighs 25 lbs. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.10; 
10 lbs. $2.05; 25 lbs. $4.40; 50 lbs. $8.65.

Jennessee No. 76 Lespedeza f h r ^ e d n e Sf E ^ 
periment Station. In shape and size of leaf it is like the original 
japan clover but is much taller and yields a third more hay. Sown 
with Korean the grazing period will be lengthened three weeks. 
A bushel weighs 2 5 lbs. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.05; 
10 lbs. $1.95; 25 lbs. $4.15; 50 lbs. $8.15.

Japan Clover or Common Lespedeza 
—The original lespedeza. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre on your poor land 
to bring it into condition to produce profitable crops. Once started 
it smothers broomsedge and other undesirable growths. 10 lbs. 
japan clover and 8 lbs. herd’s grass will give a hay crop that may 
be grazed till frost. A bushel weighs 2 5 lbs. By mail postpaid, 
lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. $3.90; 50 lbs. $7.65.

Sericea Lespedeza 
(Perennial.) A wonderful drought- 
resistant legume. Now that Sericea 
can be secured at low prices broad¬ 
cast seeding can now be economically made. Sericea is primarily 
a hay crop that will thrive well on poor acid soils where red clover 
and alfalfa are not profitable. Its root system reaches one to three 
feet in the soil for nourishment, and even in the driest weather will 
continue growing and flourish. The second-year growth each plant 
puts out 20 to 30 stalks from five to six feet tall, producing a better 
quality hay in succeeding years and giving two to four cuttings 
per season. The hay is tender and of excellent quality, and relished 
by all kinds of live stock. A terrific seeder, ranging in yields from 
250 to 650 pounds of seed per acre the first year, and 800 to 1,500 
pounds the second season. 
The seed-bed should be well pulverized and firm, and seed sown 
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. Sow during 
March, April and May. Early seedings seem to give best results. 
Sericea seed has a very hard outer coat, which makes it important 
that only scarified seed be sown. No fertilizer or lime necessary, 
but like other legumes readily respond to their use. We can supply 
both the early maturing strain No. 04730 and late strain No. 12087. 
Scarified seeds weigh 60 pounds to the bushel. The seed we offer is 
hulled, scarified and recleaned. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. 
$2.00; 10 lbs. $3.85; 25 lbs. $8.65; 50 lbs. $17.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 to 24 lbs. 35c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 32c 
per lb.; 10O lbs. and over 30c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Inoculate lespedeza with Stimugerm. 
Prices: V 2 bushel size 35c; 1 bushel size 65c; 
2*4 bushel size $1.40. Specify Stimugerm No. 
10 for lespedeza. when ordering.
