 as plant food. Much of this is stored in nodules on the roots of 

 the plants, for the benefit of future crops, and when the crop 

 itself is turned under, the nitrogen in the plants is also returned 

 to the soil.

 Peas, and Lima Beans in the garden size only (sufficient for sev- 

 eral pounds of seed) is available. Farmogerm 25 cts.; Mulford
