FIELD OF KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
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 seeded it will 
reproduce itself indefinitely on hay fields, pastures or 
waste lands. It is eradicated by the cultivation of a 
single succeeding crop. About 400 to 500 pounds of 
seed per acre may be expected in a fair season from a 
goofl broadcast stand. These plants are not dependent 
upon lime. Tliey pry loose necessary mineral elements 
from hard and compact soil not available to ordinary 
plant life. 
Drought ResistantDeep 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 heavy frost.
