A real money making crop. Replacing Korean Lespedeza in many sections, 
| Early Maturing—Vigorous Growing—Heavy Yielding 
This Lespedeza is far superior to ordinary Ko- 
rean for all farms that have climatic conditions 
similar to the southern half of Iowa and northern 
Missouri. That takes in large areas in Nebraska, 
Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, etc. The crop can 
be grown north of this area but it is not certain 
to make seed north of central Iowa. 
Early Giant Korean is becoming more and more a crop 
of vital importance... The more farmers see of it the more 
anxious they are to start growing it. During hot summer 
months when blue grass pastures are thin and dormant this 
wonderful legume provides an abundance of high protein 
feed and enriches the land so the grass can grow thicker and 
heavier in the fall. It iss often a “‘life saver’ to have a field 
of Early Giant Korean to give you feed when you need it. 
Fully two weeks earlier 
This Lespedeza, also known as 19604, will mature seed 100 
to 150 miles north of the ordinary Korean. U.S:D.A. states 
it is a reliable seed producer up to the northern limits of 
Illinois which gives you. another indication of its wide adapt- 
ability. The early maturity is the big feature of Early Giant. 
Another important factor is that the seedlings make an early 
start in the spring and grow more vigorously than ordinary 
Korean. This vigorous growth helps give the best assurance 
of bigger and better stands and larger crops. 
Big Profit Features 
Growth up to two feet was reported in the dry season of 
1936. It will stand a lot of dry weather and grows best 
when the weather is hot, It responds well to favorable 
moisture conditions. You can grow Early. Giant on very 
poor soil without lime or fertilizer. On the other hand, on 
better land it will grow much taller and heavier. This clover 
may grow twice as high as common Lespedeza. It is a 
Page 27 
prolific seed producer yielding up to 
1,000 lbs. per acre, which is com- 
bined after leaves have turned 
brown, Heavy stands of Early Giant 
can yield 2 tons per acre of fine 
stemmed leafy hay equal’ to Alfalfa. 
Its greatest value is as pasture. 

Three crops in one year. Grain, Hay and Seed 
Towa farmers have gotten a triple return from their land 
by using Early Giant. We purchased seed from stands 
that had been sown the year before with small grain. It 
made a seed crop the year before. There was enough seed 
shattered to leave a good supply on the land. Oats were 
disced in early in the spring but no more’.Early Giant was 
sown, The oats were taken off early in July. A hay crop 
of Lespedeza was harvested in August and in October a 
seed crop was taken. This same procedure can be used 
several years in succession. Just disc in oats in spring and 
get three crops. Saves time, builds up‘land and brings big 
profits. Put the land back to a cultivated crop any time. 
Lespedeza will not become a weed or a pest. 
A crop many Farmers need 
, Early Giant Korean provides afi abundance of fine stemmed, 
leafy high protein pasture during hot summer.months. It is 
an ideal companion crop for pasture grasses like blue grass, 
red top, etc. The grasses make early growth. Early Giant 
comes on later. It is easy to get started. Not particular 
about soils. Can be sown early. Does not require much 
seed bed preparation; just so your seed bed is not loose and 
do not cover seed over % inch. Sow 15 to 18 lbs. per acre. 
It is often sown on top of the ground in early spring. It 
pays to inoculate your seed whether you sow on top of the 
ground or cover it. See page 41. 
Early Giant Korean will make you money as a pasture, 
hay, and seed crop. Get started this year with this early 
maturing, vigorous growing Lespedeza that is the best money 
maker of all varieties for such a large section of the corn belt.
