Description 
Korean is an annual. That is, it grows only one year. However, it reseeds itself 
very easily unless the season is too short to mature seed. The stands from re- 
seeding are generally much thicker than the original stand. 
The stems are fine. The growth is not so tall but is very leafy. The feeding 
value is very similar to Alfalfa. In the latitude of Central Missouri it makes up 
to 3 tons per acre. In the north it is best for pasture. Korean is especially good 
in pasture mixtures because this clover does not make much growth in the spring. 
In the hot dry ‘summer months it grows best. Pastures containing Korean do not 
dry up but continue to flourish until killing frosts. 
SEEDING SUGGESTIONS 
Your seed bed Must be firm and the seed must Not be covered deeply. Broad- 
casting on winter grains is a good practice. Sow like Red Clover. Running a 
roller over the ground later helps both grain and the clover. When sown with spring grain, roll the ground thoroughly then sow 
_ Korean and roll again. Seed may be broadcast in early spring on thin pasture without any seed bed preparation. Write for free 
circular for detailed information on this crop. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre,
