Inoculating Cultures for Leguminous Crops 



NITROGEN GATHERING BACTERIA 



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

 Beans, Lima Beans, Garden Beans, Garden Peas, Canada Field Peas, Peanuts, Vetches, 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 them- 

 selves 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 useless to attempt 

 to grow any leguminous crop without being certain of the presence of bacteria which enables 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. 



FARMOGERM. 



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. 



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. 



MCLFORD CULTURES. 



The Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, 

 vigorous nitrogen fixing bacteria, and are used for inoculating 

 seeds of the various legumes used for maintaining soil fertility 

 and re-juvinating ovef-cropped and worn out fields, adding both 

 humus and nitrogen to the soil. Prepared and tested by experts 

 at the Biological Laboratories of H. K. Mulford Co., with the 

 same care as the Mulford Anti-Toxins, Serums, Vaccines, etc., 

 which are standards all over the world.
