J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 



HIGH-BRED NITROaBN-GATHEBING BACTERIA. 



Insure all your legume crops by inoculating the seed with FARMOGERM. The 

 PARMOGERM bacteria take the nitrogen from the air, and not only increase the yield 

 of the crops, but cause little nodules to appear on the roots which fertilizes the soil. 

 The fact that legumes such as the cow pea has grown successfully for many 

 years, does not mean that you should not inoculate. By using FARMOGERM you will 

 greatly increase the fertilizing value of the crop at a very small cost. 



FARMOGERM is simply to apply and seed can be treated in a few moments. Full 

 directions are on each bottle. We carry FARMOGERM Cultures for: 

 Lespedeza, 

 Velvet Beans, 

 Peanuts.

STECKLER'S HIGH-GRADE CLOVER, GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS. 



Specially Adapted for the Southern States. 



CLOVER SEEDS. 



AI.FAX.FA OR I.nCERME CZkOVER.— 



The most talked of and most widely plant- 

 ed of all the varieties of clover. 



Alfalfa in the South will produce 5 to 7 

 tons of hay to the acre each year and in 

 money value is worth 45 per cent more 

 than other clovers and 60 per cent more 

 than Timothy hay. It will grow 4 or 5 

 crops a year and it does not exhaust the 

 soil; it enriches the soil. Its long branch- 

 ing roots penetrate far down, 15 to 20 

 feet and so loosen the subsoil that it is a 

 gigantic subsoiler, resists drought, and 

 gets plant food where other crops would be 

 a failure. 



It is said that the feeding value of a ton 

 of alfalfa is equal to a ton of shell corn. 

 Plant from January to April for Spring, 

 and September to November for Fall at the 

 rate of 30 lbs. per acre.
