produces 40,000 Ibs. of seed. He states the Early Champion is much earlier than 
the regular Korean Lespedeza. Is larger type than No. 19604. One of our customers, 
Mr. Joseph Starshak, Knox, Indiana, sowed this Early Champion Lespedeza two years 
ago and claims it made much larger growth than the Common Korean Lespedeza.

- per acre. Sow like any clover or grass seed. In 6 bu. lots, $4.50 per bushel.
