Cultures for Legumes. Mulford and Farmogerm. 
Legumes, when inoculated with the proper bacteria, draw 
nitrogen from the air and convert it into nitrate form, suitable 
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,
