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 devolopment 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 available for 

 future crops for two or three successive seasons. ** Farmogerm " is applicable to the follow- 

 ing 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, Vetcli, Peanuts, Garden Beans, Garden Peas, Sweet Peas, and other legumes. 

 " Farmogerm" is supplied in garden size for Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas, 50 cts. per bottle, 

 by mail, postpaid- for field crops S2 per bottle, sufficient for one acre, subject to discount in 

 quantity lots of 10 acres and above.
