Field of Korean Lespedeza 
KOREAN 
LESPEDEZA 
• for Pasture and 
High Quality Hay 
WHY? Because there is no preparation 
of seed-bed necessary; it is sown in any 
small grain like red clover is sown. 
Only ten pounds per acre are needed in 
mixtures for pasture, or 20 to 25 pounds 
alone. 
It is adapted to any soil in this region, 
wet or dry, rich or poor, sour or sweet. 
It produces pasture of unexcelled quality 
in August, when other pastures are poor. 
It will carry 1,000 to 2,000 pounds, live 
weight, of stock per acre from June to 
October. 
It is large enough to graze from two to 
three weeks earlier than other varieties of 
Lespedeza. 
It matures earlier than any other Les¬ 
pedeza, thus insuring reseeding and per¬ 
mitting hay harvest before fall rains begin. 
It is easier to cure and handle for hay 
than soy beans, red clover or alfalfa. 
It has a rich feeding analysis for either 
pasture or hay. 
It reseeds itself, thus requiring no ex¬ 
pense or labor for a second year’s crop. 
Can be broadcasted, 5 to 10 pounds per 
acre, on old, thin, spotted pastures of any 
kind and makes a stand without stirring 
the land. 
Sow at any time you would sow red 
clover in the spring.
