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- 
ereases 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 Ibs., Red Top 4 lbs. 
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 lbs. alone or 2 lbs. 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 Ibs. per acre, from August 15 to Nov. 1. 
GIANT BUR CLOVER (In the Bur). A new 
type that attains a height of 5 feet and is 3 
weeks earlier than the common bur clover. 
Does best on sandy loam. Planted prin- 
cipally for soil building and grazing and 
works exceedingly well with Bermuda Grass 
pastures. Plant in fall at the rate of 20 
to 30 lbs. per acre. 
LESPEDEZA, KOREAN. Earliest of the 
annual (Lespedezas; best adapted to rich 
woodlands or low rich lands that carry con- 
siderable 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. This is a deep-root- 
ing, rather tall growing variety, having 
many leaves. On account of its root system 
and strong growth it withstands the drought 
better than the Korean. Especially adapted 
to uplands. Usually grows from 2 to 2% 
feet tall. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre broad- 
east alone, or on grain crops. 
LESPEDEZA, SERICEA. (Perennial). A 
new type which comes back each spring from 
erowns, like alfalfa. Has enormous root 
system penetrating often four feet in the 
soil. In planting, the seed bed should be 
thoroughly prepared. It requires about 3 
years before Sericea attains its normal 
stand. ‘For hay sow 20 lbs. seed per acre.
