Inoculating Cultures for Leguminous Crops. 



Alfalfa, Crimson Clover, Sweet Clover, Red Glover, White Clover, Alsike Clover, Cow Peas, Soy Beans, Velvet 

 Beans, Lima Beans, Bush Beans, Garden Peas, Field Peas, Sweet Peas, and all other pod-growing plants called legumes, 

 enrich the soil through the action of small bacteria growing upon their roots. These bacteria live only upon the roots of legumes 

 and by an action of their bodies extract the free nitrogen of the air, and deposit around themselves as nitrates, thus forming little 

 sacks or nodules on the roots of the growing plants. These sacks furnish the growing plant with all the nitrates it requires, and 

 still leaves large amounts unused in the soil ready for future crops or other crops growing at the .same time with the legumes. 

 Quoting from bulletin issued by the Dept. of Agriculture in January, 1908, " It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any legumi- 

 nous crop without being certain of the presence of bacteria which enable the plants to fix free nitrogen." 



The method of transfer of soil for inoculation is both costly and dangerous— weed seed, soil and plant diseases are transferred in 

 this way. All inoculations should be done by means of the pure cultures of nitrogen-gathering bacteria, which are free from con- 

 tamination and contain only active bacteria of the proper kind. 



FARMOGERiri. 



Farmogerm is a pure culture, or growth of nitrogen-fixing 

 bacteria that have been selected and bred up to transform large 

 amounts of nitrogen from the air into soluble nitrates. These 

 bacteria are grown in a jelly or food, in which they remain 

 active for long periods of time, and sent out in a bottle which 

 admits the necessary supply of pure air, yet keeps out destruc- 

 tive contamination. 



MUI.FORD XITRO-GERM. 



The Mulford Nitio-Germ is made from pure, tested cultures 

 of active, vigorous nitrogen fixing bacteria, and is used for inoc- 

 ulating seeds of the various legumes used for maintaining soil 

 fertility and re-juvinating over-cropped and worn out fields. 

 Prepared and tested by experts at the Biological Laboratories of 

 H. K. Mulford Co., withthe same careas the Mulford Anti-Toxins, 

 Serums, Vaccines, etc., which are standards all over the world. 



We can furnish combination cultures for various Legumes, but recommend the use of those prepared especially for the crop to 

 be planted and therefore request that purchasers kindly state on order what kind of seed the culture is to be used on, so that we 

 can send the proper material.

For the Garden Size, enough for about I acre 50 cts. per bottle. 



For the one acre field size . . $2.00 per bottle. 



For the five acre field size 9.00 per bottle.
