| I experimented with Culture last year and was =

 | the same kind of peas that were not treated, then " 

 ? some more that were treated. I was surprised to |

 | twice as tall, a very dark green and I honestly 1 

 r believe that there was three times as many peas I 

 " on the inoculated vines as there was on the vines = 

 | un-inoculated, planted in the same kind of soil, 1

 § before did I see bean vines so loaded with pods f

 § Culture and believe that it is the right thing in |

 s use the Culture, inside of five years they will see |

 f good state of cultivation. I can give you further 1

ITS PRACTICAL VALUE- 



The use of "Nitro-Culture" is of the utmost practical value and 

 especially so on the poorer and sandy soils, so abundant in all parts 

 of the South. It makes possible the successful growth of any of 

 the clovers and vetches in the South. It means that with the inoc- 

 ulation of the soil with the bacteria of alfalfa that this most valua- 

 ble hay crop can be made a success on any farm where failure has 

 been the general rule before. It means increasing the yields of all 

 the leguminous crops from 25 to 100 per cent, on light and thin soils. 

 It means largely increased amounts of hay and forage 

 where these crops are grown for hay and forage purposes. 

 It means that where the soil is thoroughly inoculated and a 

 leguminous crop grown, that from 75 to 125 pounds of 

 actual nitrogen in a shape available for use as plant-food 

 for succeeding crops, per acre, is deposited in the soil for 

 the use of that succeeding crop, the actual commercial value 

 of such deposit being, when bought in the shape of a com- 

 mercial fertilizer, $15.00 to S20.00. It means a reduction of 

 50 per cent, in our fertilizer bills in crops of cotton, corn, 

 oats, hay or any other crop where these crops are used in 

 rotation following a leguminous crop grown where the soil 

 has been thoroughly inoculated. To the grower of peas 

 and beans for market or shipment it means not only larger 

 size of vine and bearing surface but a much longer bearing 

 season. It means larger and more profitable crops on every 

 farm where "Nitro-Culture" is used intelligently. 



NITRO-CULTURE 



Consists of Nitrogen-fixing-Bacteria prepared and 

 dried on absorbant cotton, and sent out in small pack- 

 ages, ■with necessary salts, it can readily be prepared 

 for use by any farmer, as full directions accompany each 

 package. NITRO-CULTURE when applied to leguminous 

 seeds, for which they are prepared, have the power to collect 

 nitrogen out of the free air, and fix it in the soil, as well as 

 on the roots of the leguminous plants and under favorable 

 conditions they multiply very rapidly in the soil, supplying 

 all of the nitrogen which the growing crops desire, or can use, also enriching 

 the soil at the same time. It is generally estimated that more than 100 pounds 

 of nitrogen per acre is added to the soil by Nitro-Culture. This if purchased 

 in the form of Nitrate of Soda, or other Nitrogenous Fertilizers would equal in cash 

 value about J20.00 per acre. This point is being brought out very clearly by those who 

 planted legumious crops last year, after inoculating the seed. This year they report where 

 wheat, corn, barley, oats, cotton or other crops are planted on the same field, there is a 

 remarkable increase, and a line is distinctly shown in the field where the inoculated legu- 

 minous crop had been grown the year before : thus proving that NITRO-CULTURE will 

 not only very largely increase the legumes, such as beans, peas, vetch, peanuts, clover, 

 alfalfa, etc., but the next succeeding year any crop which may be planted in the same field 

 will be tremendously benefited as per following tests :

When Ordering State what Particular Kind of Crop you Desire to Inoculate, so 

 that the Proper Bacteria may be Forwarded.

If farmers or truckers have early crops which can be harvested by mid-summer, would 

 take the same field and plant an inoculated crop such as Crimson-Clover, Cow-Peas, or other 

 quick growing legumes, on the field they would make a very good growth before Winter 

 set in. and in the Spring would come along very rapidly. These crops 

 if ploughed under in the Spring would have stored su ncient nitrogen in 

 the soil to largely increase any crop of grain, cotton cr potatoes, which 

 might be planted on the same ground. If this system of planting inocu- 

 lated leguminous crops, in the Fall, were followed out the Bacteria would 

 collect at a low estimate 100 pounds of Nitrogen per acre for the Spring 

 crop, and thus save the cost of nitrogenous fertilizers. 



Using NITRO-CULTURE means placing a little nitrogen manufacturing 

 plant on every acre which you inoculate, thus procuring your own nitro- 

 gen in place of paying 15 cents per pound for it. 



The following are only a few of the many letters which are heing con- 

 stantly received from those who use the Cultures.

Cisco. N. C, May 12th, 1905. 

 "Where NITRO-CULTURE was given a fair trial here on garden-peas. 

 I it has given results. We have one man here who tried the Culture, alone * 

 r on one row. The land was very good. The rest of his peas was ex.oen- 1 

 ^ sively manured with compost and guano, which was probably worth 1 

 [ S15.00 per acre. The Nitro-Culture row %vas by far the best row in tVhe ' 

 r field, and at least doubled any other row in the first picking, and they * 

 were planted a week later than the rest."
