Sow like Red Clover. About % inch 
When sown with spring grain, roll the ground 
then sow Korean and roll again. Seed may be broadcast in early spring on thin pasture without any seed bed preparation. 
You can also broadcast seeding during winter months and early spring. Avoid covering it too much. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per 
_acre, Ask for our Free Circular on Lespedeza. 

EARLY STRAIN LESPEDEZA CLOVER 
New Tall Early Type 
This new strain of Lespedeza can be grown further north 
with good success. Grows taller. Matures seed earlier. 
Known as early strain No. 19604. One of our Illinois cus- 
tomers has been reproducing a seed crop for five years. 
An Illinois grower reported it made a growth of two feet 
during a dry summer and claims a yield of 900 to 1000 Ibs. 
of good seed per acre. Stands heat and drought and is a 
great crop. 
More farmers are finding out every year it is a “‘life 
saver.’’ It will mature seed over a 100 miles north of the 
ordinary Korean described above. It grows well on poor 
‘soil without lime or fertilizer. On better land it will grow 
taller and heavier. It is a vigorous grower and protein 
content is high. 
SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
A Tall Grower—A Perennial 
This Lespedeza differs a great deal from Korean. Instead of living 
through reseeding it comes up in the spring from buds that form on 
the roots in the fall. Grows taller than Korean. Therefore, it is much 
better for hay. It also has a larger, stronger root system and is a 
superior soil builder. Has lived over winters in the latitude of the 
southern part of Wisconsin. Grows on poor soil. 
Nature of Growth 
Sericea. grows slowly the first year sending up a single stem. It 
throws out more stems from the crown each year. Thus, it becomes 
finer and heavier producing year to year. Grows very leafy. Should be 
cut before blooming for best hay. “May be used for pasture. 
The strong tap root of Sericea penetrates the stiffest soils. ‘This tap 
root branches very freely and this extensive root system loosens up the 
heaviest land. Gives remarkable results on flat, poorly drained land, 
Seeding 
Sow only scarified seed. Does not stand as much frost as Korean; 
therefore, do not sow too early. Use about 6 to 8 pounds per acre. It 
is vitally important to have a solid seed bed and not to cover. deep. 
Use a roller after seeding if you can. That is good practice on all 
' grass and clover seedings.

A Money Crop 
Sow in spring, medium early and harvest a seed crop the same 
year. Will mature seed further north. Farmers in sections of 
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states, need 
this type where regular Korean does not do so well. Heavy stands 
of this Early Strain can yield as much as two tons of fine stemmed 
leafy hay that is equal to alfalfa. Its greatest value is for pas- 
ture. It is easy to get started. Sow with Oats or other small 
grain. Requires little seed bed preparation. It builds up fhe soil. 
Firm seed bed is best: Do. not cover seed over % inch. Often 
sown on top of the ground in early. spring. It’s a real money 
maker. For seed crop, sow 5 lbs. in rows and cultivate it, For 
hay or pasture, sow or drill 12 to 14 Ibs. per acre. We have 
fancy recleaned seed. Get started this year.

SCARIFIED KOREAN 
This is the same seed as the Korean Lespedeza described at 
the top of this page which has the hulls on it.’ This Secarified 
Korean has the hulls off. They come off when seed goes thru 
our scarifying machine. After seed is scarified, it is easier to 
clean out bad weeds. Scarified Korean germinates quicker. 
For early spring seeding use the regular Korean. For late 
spring seeding use the Scarified seed. Sow about 10 to 12 
lbs. per acre. 
The hulled secarified seeds are about the same size as Red 
Clover, just a trifle larger. Sow with small grain like other 
clovers. Hulled Korean is getting, more popular every year. 
Grows everywhere, on any kind of soil. Cost of seeding around 
$1.25 per acre. Sow 9 or 10 pounds per acre. Sold 60 lbs. to 
the bushel.
