A real money making crop. Replacing Korean Lespedeza in many sections. 

Early Korean SGREAT 
Early Maturing—Vigorous Growing—Heavy Yielding 
This variety has been widely known as Early Giant Korean. 
It is a great producer. We consider this Lespedeza far 
superior to ordinary Korean for all farms having climatic 
conditions similar to northern Missouri and the southern 
half of Iowa. That takes in a large area in Nebraska, 
Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio etc. It may be grown north 
of this area but it is not certain to make seed north of 
central Towa. 7 
Berry’s Early 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 is often a “life saver’ to have a field 
of Berry’s Early 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 Lot Great. 
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 Korean on very 
poor soil without lime or fertilizer. On better land it will 
grow much taller and heavier. Customers report it grows 
twice as high as Common.Lespedeza. It, is a prolific seed

per acre, which is combined after 
leaves have turned brown. Heavy 
stands of Early Korean 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 
Iowa farmers have gotten a triple return from their land 
by using Early Korean. 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 seed 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 
Lot Great Early Korean provides an abundance of fine 
stemmed, leafy high protein pasture during hot summer. It is 
an ideal companion crop for pasture grasses like blue grass, 
red top, etc. The grasses make early growth. Early Korean 
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. 
Lot Great is a truly great value in Early Korean. It will 
make you money as a’pasture, hay, and seed crop. Start 
this early maturing vigorous growing crop. The best Les- 
pedeza for the northern area described above.
