■YOU WANT- 



To raise the finest crop of Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas 

 you ever had. That goes without saying. Then moisten 

 your seed or spray the soil with — 



FARMOGERM 



HIGH-BRED NITROGEN 



By High-Bred we mean 

 that through careful selec- 

 tion and scientific breeding 

 we are producing nitrogen 

 gathering bacteria that are 

 much more active than 

 those at first found on roots 

 of leguminous plants and 

 are therefore capable of 

 giving the very best results 

 in the shortest space of 

 time. 



GATHERING BACTERIA 



The Bacteria in Farmo- 

 germ, which adhere to the 

 seeds when you moisten 

 them, increase by the mil- 

 lions in the plant roots. They 

 at once begin to draw nitro- 

 gen from the air, making it 

 available to the growing 

 plants, and in addition stor- 

 ing immense quantities of 

 nitrates in the soil for 

 future crops of other kinds. 



FOR LEGUMES 



Such as Peas, 'Beans, Sweet Peas, Alfalfa, Clover, Vetch, etc., these 

 bacteria are very essential to make strong, healthy plants, and for 

 permanently enriching the soil by adding nitrogen, the most vital 

 element necessary to the growth of all crops. Farmogerm is — 



SENT TO YOU 



In a specially sealed bottle with simple instructions for using. It re- 

 quires very little extra work to inoculate the seeds, for Farmogerm 

 will come to you all— 



READY TO USE 



Simply by adding a little water and sprinkling on the soil or — 



ON YOUR SEEDS 



Soda. Also see reports from many of those who used 

 Farmogerm with such success last year. 



Order from this Advertisement if you want to 

 plant very soon or if you want to spray the crop you have 

 planted. In either case be sure to mention the crop for 

 which you want Farmogerm.
