The use of some form of inoculating material on seed of legu- 
minous plants is rapidly becoming general among progressive 
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, clover, 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 dueto 
the association of nitrogen-fixing bacteria), thereby stimulating 
their own growth and greatly enriching the soil in the valuable 
element of nitrogen, when they decay. or 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 ac- 
tivities 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 wp in this 
Size for Sweet Peas, Garden. Beans, Garden Peas and 
Lima Beans only. The larger size bottles can be furnished

ticular kind of seed to be treated. For example, the Culture 
for Sweet Peas would be useless for anything else,
