\ BERRY SEED COMPANY—CLARINDA, IOWA 11 
EARLY KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
$12.60 per bushel—60 Ibs. 
This vigorous growing, early maturing Lespedeza can be used 100 to 150 miles 
farther north than the regular Korean described below. Its earlier maturity means 
the seed is more certain to ripen and then reseed itself. This crop will do well in 
sections having conditions like those in central Iowa and south. In fact we have 
had reports of surprisingly good results much farther north than central Iowa. 
It seems to be a more vigorous growing plant than regular Lespedeza and is 
greatly preferred by many farmers. Around Clarinda farmers have sown Harly 
Korean with oats and after the grain was harvested, a hay erop was taken in early 
August and a seed crop in October. Enough seed ‘shattered to reseed for another 
year. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. We have very nice seed, but supplies of this 
early variety are limited. Please order at once. 

SERICEA LESPEDEZA—s19. 50 per bushel 
60 ibs. bushel—Bags free 
SOMETIMES KNOWN AS SOUR LAND ALFALFA 
This is a perennial legume just like Alfalfa but it does not require sweet soil and 
you do not have to lime your land to grow it. It is entirely different from Korean 
Lespedeza which comes only through reseeding. This Sericea comes up from the 
roots in the spring. Has wintered over as far north as Vermont, New York and 
southern Michigan. It gets better from year to year as it keeps sending out more 
stems. That means finer growth and bigger yields. Two cuttings of hay can be 
ovtained per year if not too far north. 
This crop is also a great soil builder having a heavy root system. Can be sown 
later than most clovers. The seed is quite small and 8 to 10 lbs. will sow an acre. 
Be sure to try some of our fine quality Sericea Lespedeza this year. We have seed 
ready for prompt shipment. Ask for our Lespedeza circular.., 

KOREAN LESPEDEZA—Standard Grade 
$9.60 per bushel 60 Ibs. 
This is the Regular Korean Clover that is grown for pasture purposes 
- from southern Iowa on down south into the states like Missouri, Tennessee, 
ete. It is good for central [llinois-on south. It will grow on the poorest 
_ type of ground without lime, it also grows during hot weather when many 
 clovers become dormant, in fact it is during hot weather that Lespedeza 
: Brows at its best. This Standard Grade is a nice, fancy quality and the 
Dp price of $9.60 a bushel of 60 pounds on it is a very attractive price. 
KOREAN Special lowa Grade 
SOLD OUT—ORDER SCARIFIED. ' 
SCARIFIED KOREAN $11.25 per bu.—60 Ibs. 
This is the same kind of Korean, that is, the Regular Korean, but the 
seed has the hulls removed as the seed has been scarified by a process 
which scratches the seed coat and permits quicker germination of the seed. 
This seed goes further. It only requires around 8 to 10 pounds to the 
acre, whereas the hulled seed as quoted above is generally sown at 12 to 
15 pounds to the acre. Therefore, while the price per pound is a little 
higher it goes further, and especially for late seeding use scarified seed he- 
cause of its quicker germinating quality. Iowa customers order this grade 
aay Sold out of unhulled for Towa.
