Lee’s Dependable Grass-Clover Seed 
CLOVERS 
ALFALFA. The most valuable of all cul¬ 
tivated forage crops and soil builder. There 
is nothing that makes better hay than 
alfalfa, and stock are extremely fond of it. 
As a pasture builder it cannot be surpassed. 
It develops a strong root system, which in¬ 
creases the humus content and opens up 
the soil, thus improving the soil by adding 
large quantities of nitrogen from the air. 
Alfalfa can be cut at any time from start 
of bloom stage to the time the plants are 
in full bloom. Sow broadcast at the rate 
of 15 to 25 pounds to the acre. It can be 
sown in either the fall or spring. 
RED CLOVER (Medium Red). Adapted to 
limestone soils. Fine for pasturage in com¬ 
bination with other clovers and grasses. 
Sow at the rate of 8 to 12 pounds per acre. 
SWEET CLOVER (White Blossom). A va¬ 
riety of clover, while young resembles al¬ 
falfa, grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet. As 
a land builder it has few equals. Adds 
humus and nitrogen to the soil when plowed 
under. Valuable for pasture and forage. Sow 
in fall or spring at the rate of 12 to 15 
pounds per acre. 
ALSIKE. Adapted to damp, moist, loamy 
soils. In growth and habit resembles alfal¬ 
fa. Valuable for either hay or pasture and 
equal to Red Clover in food value. Fre¬ 
quently sown with Red Top and Timothy, 
producing a very fine quality of hay. Sow 
at the rate of 5 to 6 pounds per acre. In 
mixture: Alsike 4 pounds, Red Top 4 
pounds. 
BURR CLOVER. We have two kinds. 
Southern Spotted and California. Stands 
of California Burr are easier to obtain the 
first year than of Southern Burr. More¬ 
over, the California grows off earlier and 
withstands dry weather better. Stock prefer 
this kind. Both clovers are principally for 
soil building and grazing and works exceed¬ 
ingly well with Bermuda Grass pastures. 
Sow in fall, preferably at the rate of 20 to 
30 pounds of Southern seed, 15 to 20 pounds 
of California seed. 
LESPEDEZA, KOREAN. The earliest of 
the annual Lespedezas, therefore gives the 
earliest grazing of any variety. It is best 
adapted to rich woodlands or low rich lands 
that carry considerable moisture. It begins 
flowering in July and ripens in September. 
Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast 
alone or on grain crops. It is not necessary 
to cover. 
LESPEDEZA, KOBE. The most popular 
and best variety of Lespedeza for the South. 
This is a deep-rooting, rather tall growing 
variety, having many leaves. On account 
of its root system and strong growth it 
withstands the drought better than the Ko¬ 
rean and at the present time is much more 
popular and being more largely planted than 
any other variety in southern sections. It 
usually grows from 2 to 2 Ms feet tall. Sow 
20 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast alone, or 
on grain crops. 
BUILD UP YOUR SOIL 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. Creeping in 
habit, is largely used on lawns and in pas¬ 
ture mixture. Much relished by stock, and 
high in protein. Sow at the rate of 5 to 8 
pounds per acre; 1 to 2 pounds in mixtures. 
HOP CLOVER (Yellow Blossom). An an¬ 
nual. Grows about 6 to 8 inches high. 
Growing season from early spring to mid¬ 
summer. Especially valuable when sown 
very early with Japan Clover on Bermuda 
sod or with any grasses for pasture. Sim¬ 
ilar to Lespedeza, but more upright, and 
has a yellow blossom. Very early and fast¬ 
growing. Hop Clover is familiar to many, 
as it grows wild over a good portion of the 
South. Sow 5 to 7 pounds alone or 2 pounds 
in mixture. 
CRIMSON CLOVER. An annual winter 
soil-building crop and a quick grazing crop. 
Makes excellent quality hay if cut before 
maturity. However, it is more often pas¬ 
tured in winter and plowed under as a 
green manure crop in the spring. This three- 
purpose clover—Hay, Pasture, and Manure 
crop—is very fast coming into popularity, 
and should be given a good trial. Sow 15 
to 20 pounds per acre, from August 15 to 
Nov. 1.
