LESPEDEZA, Korean is an annual legume, and under favor- 
- able conditions will reseed itself. It is best adapted to thin 
or acid soils. 15 to 25 pounds usually sown per acre from 
February to April 15th. Sericea is a perennial Lespedeza.

Clovers for sowing with Timothy, as they mature at the

ALFALFA. Every farm should have a field of this crop. It has 
a higher feeding value than any other hay. Alfalfa can be 
sown in many different mixtures. It is sown alone at the 
rate of 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. Write us about rate of seeding, 
and other recommendations. In addition to spring seeding, 
when sown alone, it can be sown successfully in July and 
August in various special mixtures. 
Alfalfa ‘should be sown on a well-prepared seed bed. Ade- 
quate liming is necessary, and proper amount should be 
determined by a soil test. It is also very important that 
seed be inoculated. 
Common Alfalfa. Has a purple bloom and tends to develop 
a single deep tap root system. It is generally found to 
produce more hay than the Grimm type, except when win- 
ter killing takes place. 
Grimm Alfalfa. Has a variegated bloom and is characterized 
by a tendency toward a multiple root system. For this 
reason it is understood to be hardier than the Common 
type.
