LESPEDEZ 
"Whe Wouder 
Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil-building. 
Adapted to a wider area than any other known 
legume. Withstands droughts that would kill other crops. . In- 
creases the grazing capacity of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent. Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well.in mix- 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses. 
Inoculate All Lespedeza with 
Nitragin "L" 
For a better stand and maximum yield, inoculate your'seeds 
with Nitragin before planting. The procedure is simple and 
inexpensive. Full directions on each can. 100 Ib. size can

733 The most widely-grown 
variety. Does well over a 
wider territory. than other ya- 
rieties. The most important 
pasture legume in the South. 
Increases carrying ‘capacity 
of pasture lands from 25 to 
50%. Grows on poor soils, 
including acid types, and sup- 
plies grazing during the sum- 
mer and fall months when 
most pasture plants are suf- 
fering from hot sun. On 
good soil will produce an ex- 
cellent growth, and reaches a 
height of from 18: to 30 
inches. The small stems of 
the plant make it an easily 
cured hay crop. ~Seed should 
be planted on a well-prepared 
but firm seed bed in Feb- 
ruary or March. On grazing 
crops sow 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre. When planted alone 
for hay crop sow 25 Ibs. 
Lb. 95c; 5 Ibs. $4.25.

732 The earliest of the annual Lespedezas. 
The abundant growth, deep penetrating roots 
eovered with nodules makes Korean Lespe- 
deza an outstanding grazing and soil-build- 
ing legume. It makes larger growth than 
the Common, 15 to 24 inches, single plants 
having a spread of 3 feet; has larger leaves, 
furnishes pasturage three weeks earlier. It is 
highly resistant to drought, and thrives on 
poor, worn-out soils where alfalfa and clo- 
vers fail.

‘is highly recommended for the upper South 
where the seasons are shorter and the’ sun 
less severe. Korean is especially good for sec- 
tions with short growing seasons, because it 
matures its seed crop earlier than the others. 
It produces on all soil types where the com- 
mon varieties grow, but in producing Korean 
for hay, fertile soil will give much greater re- 
turn. If Korean is used in permanent pas- 
ture mixtures, the seed may be planted with 
other grasses’ and clovers in the spring, us-
