KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA. America’s Greatest 
Legume. Adapted to any soil. Makes crop of 
hay or seed same year sown. Reseeds itself each 
year, unexcelled for pasture, hay or soil building. 
Drought resistant. Height 15 to 24 inches. 10 
pounds per acre will produce a heavy crop of hay 
the second year, but 15 to 20 pounds will secure 
a full crop of seed for harvest the first year. Our 
stock is of the highest quality and will give satis- 
faction. See Red List for quantity prices. 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA. New perennial Lespedeza. 
An Oriental perennial legume; grows on poor land, 
acid or sour soil as well as on rich soil. Great 
drought resister with an enormous root system. 
Enriches the soil, starts growth early in spring 
and gives at least three cuttings a season with as 
high as three tons of hay per acre from a single 
cutting. Plant very shallow in 314-foot rows on a 
well prepared bed, in late spring, 3 to 4 lbs. per 
acre. 5 Ibs., $2.00; 10 Ibs., $3.25, postpaid. 
EARLY LESPEDEZA. (U.S.D.A. No. 19604.) 
Earlier and Heavier Yielder. New early Lespedeza 
averages 6 inches taller, much earlier, and heav- 
ier yielding than common strains, making it ideal 
for folks who want a taller and earlier type and 
who have not had success with ordinary Lespede- 
za. Grows anywhere—especially valued where other 
legumes will not grow. Will grow on the sourest 
soil and will build it up by adding nitrogen. Seed 
is short—order early. Plant same as Korean Les- 
pedeza.

“‘THE MIRACLE DROUGHT RESISTER’’ 
One of the most sensational additions that 
American agriculture has received in years. 
[It is rather slow the first season, but the 
second year is great and once established you 
have it for keeps. It is hardy, permanent, 
stands the driest of droughts, the hottest sum- 
mers, and the coldest winters. It is the first 
green grass in the spring, the last in the fall, 
and stays green all summer when other grasses 
are dry. It is very high in feeding value; will 
carry~from 50 to 100 per cent more livestock 
per acre than Blue Grass. Cut for hay, you 
will have from three to four tons per acre. 
All classes of livestock like it as it is very 
palatable. It is a grass and so it cannot poison 
the stock. Sow either fall or spring using 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Have a firm, well 
packed seed bed, harrow in lightly and roll 
well if at all possible. Do not cover too 
deeply—one-fourth to one-half inch is plenty. 
You can get two crops in a season. Harvest 
when it is one-third to one-half in bloom. 
It is easily killed under cultivation if you 
want to get rid of it. Our Brome Grass is
