Grows on the poorest land 
Wonderful pasture — Excellent Soil Builder. 
A VERY VALUABLE CROP 
Markets on Korean Lespedeza seed are very strong as 
there is a tremendous demand for it. Will be used in 
place of Sweet Clover in many sections. 
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. 
It is quite a common practice to put oats on. land 
where Lespedeza has reseeded itself. After the oats are 
off, there is the Lespedeza to give an abundance of pas- 
ture until frost. A very valuable crop. Superior to 
Alfalfa and other clovers in acid or thin soils, 
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 ledfy 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.

to Alfalfa. Stems die in the fa Next spring new 
growth starts from the crown. Has very strong root 
system. Generally has only one main stem the first 
year unless grown in cultivated rows. Second year 
it will have 11 to 15 stems and gets thicker each year. 
Has wintered as far north as Vermont, New York and 
southern Michigan. Official checks show little or no 
winter killing with temperatures of 17° below zero 
without any snow protection. It is adapted through- 
out the corn-belt. Makes excellent hay if cut early 
when it is 12 to 15 inches high. Larger growths be- 
come somewhat woody. Two hay crops can. usually 
be obtained in a season. 
Sericea is a better soil builder than Korean due to 
its larger root system. It also has the advantage of 
starting earlier in the spring since it comes up. from 
the roots. It is taller growing and better for hay. As 
a pasture it is not quite as palatable as Korean. Sow 
on a solid seed bed and use 10 to 15 lbs. per acre; some 
use less others more. See page 40 for prices on 
quantities.
