Grows on the poorest land 
Wonderful pasture — Excellent Soil Builder. 
A VERY VALUABLE CROP 
A.A.A. in many states counts a seeding of this Lespedeza 
as % unit which pays 75c an acre. In some southern states 
it pays $1.00 per acre. See page 9. 
Korean is a Nitrogen gatherer and will improve the 
poorest land where other clovers cannot even get started. 
It will resist more heat and drouth than any other clover. 
It will stop soil washing and will grow in ditches and 
gullies. 
CHARACTERISTICS 
Korean is an annual. It grows only one year from a 
seeding. It reseeds itself very readily and matures seed 
even after plants have been killed by frost. Thus it is 
proving itself adapted farther north than was at first 
thought possible. It is steadily and surely working its 
way north into Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana. If it does 
not reseed itself it will not come up the next year. When 
it does reseed the stands get heavier from year to year. 
Korean Clover is not a good competitor of Red and Sweet 
Clover and Alfalfa. That is those crops are more profit- 
able if they can be grown successfully. But on poor 
land where those crops do not grow readily, Korean is a 
very valuable crop. a 
PASTURE VALUE 
Korean shows its greatest worth in pasture, It does not 
afford much feed early but produces its best during the 
latter part of June and in July and August up to killing 
frosts. Therefore Korean gives pasture when most other 
grasses are dormant because of heat or drouth. No mat- 
ter how close it may be pastured the crop will reseed if 
heavy frosts do not come too early. We therefore recom- 
mend Korean as a mixture for all pastures, new and old. 
VALUE AS A HAY CROP 
Korean does not grow very tall. To get a good hay 
crop the stand should be heavy. While it is not tall the 
stems are very leafy and a surprisingly large yield can 
be secured from a stand that seems fairly short. One of 
our customers reports a yield of three tons per acre and a 
seed crop afterwards. This was in central Missouri. 
SEEDING SUGGESTIONS 
The firmer your seed bed the better your success. Just 
broadcast seeding during winter or early spring. If sown 
with spring grain just scatter on top and then roll the 
land. Be sure to avoid covering it much,

Special Crops for Special Purposes 


Early Gia rt 
KOREAN 
Matures Earlier—Grows 
Taller 
Adapted Further North 
Also Known as No. 19604 
You who want to grow Lespedeza and have 
found you are a little too far north for regular 
Korean should by all means order this Early 
Giant. It matures quite a bit earlier and may 
be grown 100 to 150 miles north of the regular 
Korean. Because of its earliness it is more 
certain to produce seed and thus reseed itself or 
provide a cash seed crop. Sow it this spring. 
Harvest a seed crop this fall. Seed yields of 
1000 pounds per acre reported. Get a big cash 
income after your small grain crop. 
Grows Taller 
Growth up to 2 feet reported in dry season of 1936. 
Stands drought but responds well to moisture conditions. 
Compare growth of 18 to 24 inches with regular Korean. 
Early Giant is generally about twice as tall. Like regular 
it grows on very thin land without lime. Makes better 
hay. Valuable as a pasture. Has a very leafy growth 
and is high in food value. Adds nitrogen to your land. 
Grow This Adapted Korean 
This is the Korean, you want if you live under condi- 
tions from southern Iowa to north central Iowa. There 
is a big need for this in states like Nebraska, Illinois, 
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and others where regular 
Korean does not do well. Don’t use regular Korean 
where it is not adapted, but sow this Early Giant which 
is also known as No, 19604. Get it started in your neigh- 
borhood. Sell your first seed crop locally at a premium. 
Make those thin acres produce good profits. Make sure 
of your seed supply by ordering at once. Figure 10 to

SERICEA Lespepeza 
A perennial Lespedeza. Comes up from roots in 
the spring. Has wintered as far north as New York. 
Grows on very sour soil without lime. Grows taller 
and coarser than Korean. Very leafy. Highly 
drought resistant. High feeding value. A great soil 
builder. Sow: about 6 to 8 pounds per acre, about 
April 15th in latitude of southern Iowa. Wants a 
solid seed bed. Cover seed lightly. 
Seed supply is still limited. All prices are for prompt or- 
ders. See page 40. Pays up to $1.50 acre. A.A.A. See p 9,
