LESPEDEZAY 
"lhe Wowuder | 
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.

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

is highly recommended for the upper South m 
where the seasons are shorter and the sun 
less severe. Korean is especially good for sec- 
tions with short growing seasons, beeause 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-
