733 The most widely-grown 
variety. Does well over a 
wider territory than other va¬ 
rieties. The most important 
pasture legume in the South. 
Increases carrying capacity 
of pasture lands from 25 to 
50%. Grows on poor soils, 
including acid types, and sup¬ 
plies grazing during the sum¬ 
mer and fall months when 
most pasture plants are suf¬ 
fering from hot sun. On 
good soil will produce an ex¬ 
cellent growth, and reaches a 
height of from 18 to 30 
inches. The small stems of 
the plant make it an easily 
cured hay crop. Seed should 
be planted on a well-prepared 
but firm seed bed in Feb¬ 
ruary or March. On grazing 
crops sow 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre. When planted 
alone for hay crop sow 25^ 
pounds. Lb. 35 c; 5 lb^

Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil-building - . 
Adapted to a wider area than any other known le¬ 
gume. Withstands droughts that would kill other crops. In¬ 
creases the grazing capacity of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent. Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well in mix¬ 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses. Frequently planted .with 
fall sown oats and other small grains, and allowed to produce 
a hay crop after the oats have been cut or grazed down by live¬ 
stock. The feeding value of Lespedeza is equal to that of alfalfa. 
Prepare soil as for other legumes, leaving a smooth surface 
for mowing machine. Sow seed during January, February and March. When 
planted alone for hay sow 25 pounds per acre. If land is sodded to grasses, 
lightly break or scarify the surface to supply sufficient loose soil for seed to 
germinate, and sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre. Seed supply very small due to 
severe drought the past year.
