SEEDING SUGGESTIONS 
Broad- 
Sow like Red Clover. Running a 
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 16 pounds per acre, on a firm seed 
bed. 
EARLY GIANT LESPEDEZA CLOVER 
A Money Crop 
Sow in spring medium early and harvest a seed crop 
the same year. 
New Tall Early Type 
This new strain of Lespedeza can be grown farther north 
with good success. Grows taller than regular Korean Les- 
pedeza. Matures seed earlier. Known as early strain No. 
19604. One of our Illinois customers has been producing a 
seed crop for five years. An Illinois grower reported it 
made a growth of two feet during a dry summer and 
claims a yield of 900 to 1000 lbs. of good seed per acre. 
Stands heat and drought and is a great crop. 
SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
A Tall Grower—A Perennial 
‘This Lespedeza differs a great deal from Korean. Instead of living 
through reseeding it comes up in the spring from buds that form on 
the roots in the fall. Grows taller than Korean. Therefore, it is much 
_better for hay. It also has a larger, stronger root system and is a 
superior soil builder. Has lived over winters in the latitude of the 
southern part of Wisconsin. Grows on poor soil. 
Nature of Growth 
Sericea grows slowly the first year sending up a single stem, It 
throws out more stems from the crown each year. Thus, it becomes 
finer and heavier producing year to year. Grows very leafy. Should be 
cut before blooming for best hay. May be used for pasture. 
The strong tap root of Sericea penetrates the stiffest soils. This tap 
root branches very freely and this extensive root system loosens up the 
heaviest land. Gives remarkable results on flat, poorly drained land. 
Seeding 
Sow only scarified seed. Does not stand as much frost as Korean; 
therefore, do not sow too early. Use about 6 to 8 pounds per acre. It 
-is vitally important to have a solid seed bed and not to cover deep. 
Use a roller after seeding if you can. That is good practice on all 
grass and clover seedings. 
We save you money on Sericea Lespedeza based on the quality of seed 
we sell. See page 32 for quotation.

SCARIFIED KOREAN 
This is the same seed as the Korean Lespedeza described at 
the top of this page which has the hulls on it. This Scarified 
Korean has the hulls off. They come off when seed goes thru 
our scarifying machine. After seed is scarified, it is easier to 
clean out bad weeds. Scarified Korean germinates quicker. 
For early spring seeding use the regular Korean. For late 
spring seeding use the Scarified seed. Sow about 10 lbs. per 
acre.

CRIMSON CLOVER 
Also known as Giant Incarnate Clover. Grows on most any 
soil. Easier to grow than Red Clover. Usually sown in spring 
in northern States. For quick growth sow very light nurse 
crop or none at all. Considered an annual in northern States. 
Crimson Clover is a legume. A great crop for plowing under. 
Plowing under a good crop of Crimson Clover is about equal] 
to 10 to 20 tons of barnyard manure. Increase your next Corn 
crop 15 to-25 bu. per acre. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. Our 
seed fancy quality, recleaned and tested. Sold 60 lbs. per bu.
