EARLY GIANT LESPEDEZA CLOVER 








New Tall Early Type 
This new strain of Lespedeza can be grown further north 
with good success. Grows taller. Matures seed earlier. 
Known as early strain No. 19604. One of our Illinois cus- 
tomers has been reproducing 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. 
great crop. 

SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
5 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 #€so 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 Sy ad from the crown each year. Thus, it becomes 
finer and heavier prdducing year to year. Grows very leafy. Should be 
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. 
e 
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 cloyer seedings. f 
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.
