Mu lfor J Cultures for Inoculating: Legumes 



ii— — ■ i ii i ii ii ■■—■■■win tm * — ' * — ' 



WJ.hM9MUA>±: 



The use of some form of inoculating material on seed of 

 leguminous plants is rapidly becoming general among progres- 

 sive and practical planters. The profitable and beneficial effects 

 of this practice have been thoroughly demonstrated. 



The legumes are the pod -bearing plants, of which beans, 

 peas, alfalfa, clovers, vetch, etc., are the better known. They 

 are the only plants, as a class, that can assimilate the nitrogen 

 of the air as a part of their food (which action is entirely due to 

 the association of nitrogen-fixing bacterial, thereby stimulating 

 their own growth and greatly enriching the soil in the valuable 

 element of nitrogen, when they decay. For these reasons, the 

 legumes have recently come into great agricultural prominence. 



The legumes differ from other plants, chiefly in that when 

 grown under suitable soil conditions, have on their roots a 

 number of tubercles or nodules, which are caused by the activi- 

 ties of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria in these 

 nodules have the peculiar property of fixing or assimilating ni- 

 trogen from the air and of converting it into nitrate form suitable 

 and available as food for the plants. 



Do not expect the use of Mulford Cultures to take the place 



of careful soil preparation or the proper attention to the crop. 



Mulford Cultures will give their best results when everything

possible has been done in every other way to make the crop a 

 success. Inoculation is not a miracle worker, but is simply an 

 aid to Nature furnishing the young plant at the very outset with 

 a supply of the proper nitrogen fixing bacteria. 



Mulford Cultures for legumes are very easy to use, no special 

 knowledge being required. It is only necessary to add water 

 to the bottle (which is intentionally only about one-fourth filled), 

 shake well, and then dampen with this mixture the seeds or soil, 

 which will not interfere with planting. 



The half-garden size (25c. bottles) are put up in this Size 

 for Sweet Peas, Garden Beans, Garden Peas and Lima Beans 

 only. The larger size bottles can be furnished for use on any 

 of the following legumes: 



Alfalfa, Red Clover, Soy Beans, Sweet Peas, 



Crimson Clover, Alsike Clover, Canada Field Garden Peas, 

 Sweet Clover, Burr Clover, Peas, 



White Clover, Cow Peas, Peanuts, Garden Beans, 



Velvet Beans, Lupins. Vetch, Lima Beans. 



It is necessary to get the proper kind of Culture for the par- 

 ticular kind of seed to be treated. For'example, the Culture 

 for Sweet Peas would be useless for anything else.
