" FARMOGERM " 



HICH-BRED NITROGEN- 

 GATHERING BACTERIA 



Helps Make Poor Land Good 



Makes Good Land Produce Heavier Crops 



It is well known that nitrogen is the most expensive of fertilizing elements.' In the new 

 " Farmogerm " we have a new bacteria culture, scientifically prepared, and unlike the other 

 preparations that were offered ; it needs no treatment or development before using. It comes 

 in sealed bottles in which the bacteria is placed on a jelly-like medium, and is ready for use 

 simply by the addition of a little water, according to directions. 



By moistening the seed of any leguminous crop with the "Farmogerm" mixture not 

 only is the immediate crop benefited, but the soil is enriched in nitrogen which will be avail- 

 able for future crops for two or three successive seasons. "Farmogerm" is applicable to 

 the following crops, and when ordering be sure to state for what crop "Farmogerm" is 

 wanted : Alfalfa, Alsike, Crimson Clover, Red Clover, White Clover, Canadian Field Peas, 

 Cow-Peas, Soy Beans, Velvet Beans, Vetch, Peanuts, Garden Beans, Garden Peas, Sweet Peas 

 and other legumes. (Be sure and tell us for what crop it is wanted.) 



PRICE LIST 



Farmogerm is put up in bottles and is sent prepaid by mail as follows : Bottles to treat one 

 acre of seed of Clover or Alfalfa, Garden Peas, Beans, Vetch, etc., $2; 5 -acre-size bottles $9; 

 garden-size Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas, J^-size 25 cts.; garden-size, Peas, Beans and Sweet 

 Peas, full-size 50 cts.

 Farmogerm. The other planted same
