Plant The NEW VARIET 
Witteaneet Howa® LESPEDEZA\ 
Wilt-Resistant 
EARLY — FINE LEAF — HEAVY PRODUCER — DISEASE RESISTANT 
The newest introduction in wilt-resistant early Lespedeza. Iowa 6 has proven the most satis- 
factory Lespedeza grown by many of our seed growers, for the past two seasons. Iowa 6\\ 
starts off very quickly in the Spring and is apparently free from bacteria wilt. We find that it \ 
grows as tall as any of the early Lespedeza varieties. It has very fine leaves and stem which \ 
makes it more desirable for hay. ur growers are harvesting as much as 800 to 900 pounds 
of clean seed to the acre and has proven to be a real money maker. You will hear a lot 
more about Iowa 6. Be one of the first to grow it. While our supply of seed is very limited, \\ 
we can take care of you if you order early. See the field seed price list that came with this | 
catalog for prices. 
HKARLY 
NEW! \anery Lespedeza lowa 81 
We offer a very limited quantity of “State Certified’ seed of this new early variety Iowa-81. 
lowa-81 originated in Iowa, as a wilt resistant selection of 19604. The field from which our seed 
originates has been watched very closely. We have found it free from bacterial wilt. Our 
observation also reveals a stem and leaf of finer growth. It grows equally as tall as 19604, if 
not slightly taller which should make it even more desirable for hay than its original parent. 
We know that there is not sufficient seed available for everyone to try this variety, but as long 
as it lasts, we will fill your order promptly—order early!

“Certified” EARLY 19604 LESPEDEZA 
Is becoming more and more of vital importance. Farmers are realizing 
what it is doing and the acreage is expanding fast. One of our certi- 
field growers tells us that no farmer should be without at least a few 
acres of early Lespedeza. During hot summer months when many 
pasture crops are dormant, this crop is beautiful dark green and mak- 
ing its best growth. It has a great producing capacity at the time of 
the year you need it most. It provides an abundance of high protein 
feed and enriches the land like other legumes. 
Another big feature about early 19604 is that your seeding makes an 
early start and grows more vigoriously than ordinary Korean. The 
seed is mature, ahead of regular Korean, giving it an opportunity to 
reseed itself and for the harvest of a seed crop, where often times 
Korean is caught by unfavorable weather. 
“CERTIFIED SEED’—We have a very limited amount of Missouri 
State Certified seed. While priced a little higher than non-certified, 
we believe that you will find it better and certainly more desirable, 
if you are going to harvest your crop for seed another season. Send 
your order early while we can supply you.

SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
PERENNIAL VARIETY 
This is a perennial strain of Lespedeza. This means that once 
established it starts from the roots each Spring. The first year of 
“NON-CERTIFIED” 
EARLY 19604 LESPEDEZA 
We have a number of farmers who produce Early 
19604 Lespedeza Seed, ‘‘non-certified,’’ exclusively for 
us. These fields were planted from certified seed. The ) 
seed crops are harvested early and the seed is cleaned 
in our own mills. We have large quantities of non- 
certified seed. We believe that you will be well satis- 
fied with our “non-certified’”’ seed. We pride ourselves 
in our cleaning and believe that we do as good a job 
as can be done, and we are going to sell it very 
reasonable.
