This Lespedeza Made “BIG” 
NEW! 
Wilt-Resistant 
Early 19604 LESPEDEZA 
HAS BEEN KNOWN AS “EARLY GIANT” 
Averages 6 Inches Taller—Early Maturing— 
Heavy Yielding—Drought Resistant 
Early “19604” is gaining in popularity each season 
as more farmers are seeing it grow and seeing what 
it is doing. The demand for seed is exceeding the 
supply. Last season we were sold out long before 
the season was over, and with this year’s short sup- 
ply we know we will be able to supply only the 
ones that order early. Growth up to two feet has 
been reported for Early 19604. It will stand lots of 
hot weather and responds beautifully to moist con- 
ditions. It will grow on very poor soil and on better 
land with fertilizer it will grow taller and heavier. 
Some say it grows twice as tall as common Lespedeza. 
It makes an early start in the spring and as a heavy 
seed producer it’s a money-maker all around. Let us 
have your order early. See the Farm Seed List for 
prices.

IOWA 6 LESPEDEZA 
FARLY — 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. Iowa 6 starts off very quickly in the 
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 
5 much as 800 to 1,000 pounds of clean seed to the acre 
and has proven to be a real money maker. You will hear a lot more about lowa 6. Be one 
of the first to grow it. While our supply of seed is limited we can take care of you if you 
order early. See the Field Seed Price List that came with this catalog for prices. 
S my ; ¢ F A THE PERENNIAL 
LESPEDEZA 
Adapted to every type of soil, wonderfully resistant to 
drought, large yielding crops, good pasture and a fine 
soil improver. 
Like alfalfa, it requires one year to get set, but after the 
first year it will produce two to four tons of field cured 
hay per acre annually. Actual feeding trials have proved 
that Lespedeza Sericea hay is equal to that of alfalfa. 
Sericea enjoys many advantages over the annual lespedezas. 
It will thrive on much poorer land, comes back year after 
year from the roots, furnishes two to three cuttings per 
season, and yields much more abundantly. During the 
most severe drought years Sericea, due to its deep, vigorous 
root system, maintained a beautiful rich green color, when 
other forage crops were burned up. Sericea is generally 
at its best during July and August when other forage crops 
are considerably off. 
As stated above, Sericea requires two years’ growth be- 
fore a hay crop can be cut. Many of our customers have 
obtained excellent results in sowing a mixture of Korean 
or lowa 6 with Sericea. By this method you can obtain a 
hay crop the first year, while the Sericea is becoming es- 
tablished, and the following year the Sericea will pre- 
dominate in the field and spread from year to year. The 
use of this mixture is only suggested where the crop is to 
be used for pasture or cut for hay, for if combined for 
seed the second year there will be a mixture which is 
difficult to sell.

weeds, resists cold winters and summer droughts. Stands 
last longer—out-yields other strains so much that it is 
recommended by 29 states to be superior. Seed supplies 
are very limited so order early.
