Valuable legume for soil improvement or as a cover crop. 
Likely to Winter-kill in the North. Will grow on poorer 
land than Red Clover, and add much fertility to the soil. 
Gathers great nodules of nitrogen-fixing bacteria at its roots. 
Best suited for sections south of Pennsylvania, but has 
been successful in lower Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New 
Jersey. Seeded from June 15th to late August. Not sown 
in the Spring. Matures in June. Often broadcast in corn 
fields at last cultivation. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Be sure 
to inoculate the seed. 
Most failures with Crimson are due to not covering the 
seed properly, thin sowing, poor seed, lack of inoculation. 
In a careful farmer’s hands Crimson Clover is very good. 
KOREAN Lespedeza is widely used from Maryland South on lands 
_ _ too poor for other clovers. It is an annual, killed by the 
LESPEDEZA first frost. 
Not so good a hay crop for the Northern sections. In 
sections further South, it reseeds itself. 
Korean Lespedeza makes from 1 to 4 tons of hay per 
acre in the South. Easy to cure. A great drought resister 
—also a legume, storing nitrogen in its roots. Be sure 
to inoculate this seed. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. seed per acre.
