CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Hardy Pompone 



These beautiful small-flowered varieties are certain to become 

 popular for outdoor bedding purposes. They are absolutely hardy 

 and produce an abundant profusion of blooms, and the plants lend 

 a coloration to the garden just at a time when other plants have 

 been destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does 

 not materially afCect the flowering, and it will frequently happen 

 that an armful of flowers can be cut after a sharp frost. The col- 

 lection we offer embraces all the leading colors, and, with but a 

 slight covering of leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter, 

 will take care of themselves after once planted.

BONORA 



The new wonderful discovery, good for flowering plants of all kinds, vegetables, shrubbery, lawns, fruit and shade trees, 

 etc. It contains an abundance of active plant food in a condensed form, and a trial with its consequent results will fully 

 demonstrate its wonderful qualities. It matures a crop two or three weeks earlier, largely increasing the same, greatly 

 improving it in every detail. It is, in fact, to plant life what blood is to human life, and enters the life of the plant as 

 electricity does the wires. It is easily applied; no odor, and gives immediate and lasting results. To vegetable growers 

 BOIVORA is a veritable boon, as attested to by the high-class endorsements we are daily receiving. A trial will convince 

 the most skeptical, and once used you will never be without it.

Nitrogen Culture or Nitrogen-Collecting Bacteria 



THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SAYS : 

 "It is worse than useless to attempt to grow any leguminous 

 crop without being certain of the presence oif the bacteria which 

 enables the plants to fix free nitrogen. Certain regions are prac- 

 tically devoid of the right kind of bacteria, and unless some artificial 

 means of inoculating the germs be resorted, to the crop will be a 

 failure." 



Where intelligently applied, and the application made where nitro- 

 gen is needed, all other things being equal, without an exception 

 the results have been most flattering, and we feel justified in con- 

 tinuing to place this material on the market. 



The theory is an absolutely correct one, and we anticipate in the 

 near future a great increase in the use of this Nitrogen-Collecting 

 Bacteria. The mere fact that where Cow Peas are planted in the 

 same hill with corn, a better crop is the inevitable result. The 

 reason is obvious — the Cow Pea being a legume, or nitrogen gath- 

 erer, has the faculty of abstracting from the atmosphere this needed 

 plant food b.v means of the bacteria contained in the nodules, placing 

 it in direct contact with the roots of the corn.

A MISUNDERSTANDING. 



When this method of obtaining nitrogen from the atmosphere was 

 first agitated and placed experimentally among farmers in various 

 sections of the country, the result was so gratifying that others, not 

 thoroughly understanding all the conditions attendant upon the 

 proper applications, jumped to the conclusion that any soil upon 

 which the bacteria were applied would produce like results. They 

 did not stop to consider that where there is sufiicient nitrogen no 

 more can be taken up by the soil, in consequence apparent failure 

 was the result. Again, some have imagined that these bacteria 

 would of themselves alone fill all the requirements of the soil, with- 

 out the knowledge perhaps that other chemicals must either he in 

 the soil or applied, such as phosphoric acid, and some form of pot- 

 ash, either or both. 



Do not lay the blame of failure on the inoculation of the seed 

 when bad seed, improper cultivation and unfavorable weather con- 

 ditions are the real causes. Failure is almost certain where the 

 directions are not carefully studied and intelligently followed. In 

 the use of cultures for inoculating the farmer should he guided, as 

 in all other matters pertaining to soil treatment, by his own 

 peculiar needs and should not give too great weight to the experi- 

 ences of others whose soil conditions may differ widely.
