FIELD OF KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
The FINEST OF LEGUMES 
For Reclaiming Worn Out Soil 
It can be grown as far 
north as Michigan and 
southwest to Oklahoma. It 
is an annual, but once seed¬ 
ed it will reproduce itself 
indefinitely on hay fields, 
pastures or waste lands. It 
is eradicated by the culti¬ 
vation of a single succeed¬ 
ing crop. About 400 to 
500 pounds of seed per 
acre may be expected in a 
fair season from a good 
broadcast stand. These 
plants are not dependent 
upon lime. They pry loose 
necessary mineral elements 
from hard and compact 
soil not available to ordin¬ 
ary plant life. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Drought Resistant—Deep Rooted 
While severe droughts will cur¬ 
tail growth of plants for pasturage 
and hay, yet Lespedeza will with¬ 
stand droughts destructive to all 
other legumes and thrive on sandy 
soil too dry for other clovers. 
Dependent upon latitude, growth 
begins in April-May. In June-July 
the crop is ready for pasturage and 
in August-September for hay, and 
in September-October for seed. 
Korean variety matures two to 
three weeks earlier than any other 
variety. The growth continues un¬ 
til heav*y frost.
