INOCULATE PEAS WITH NOD-O-GEN 



Garden Peas require plenty of nitrogen. When nitrogen is 

 not present in the soil in sufficient quantities, poor stands 

 often result. By inoculating Pea seed with NOD-O-GEN, the 

 available plant-food in the soil is increased, more vigorous 

 growth promoted. Full directions on bottle. Garden size 25 

 cts.; 1-bus. size 35 cts.; 2-bus. size 65 cts.

 and late wrinkled varieties, for a continued 

 supply.

NITROGEN— A VALUABLE PLANT-FOOD 



NITROGEN is the plant-food most needed by the average soil, as in combination with other elements it 

 forms new cells and tissues on growing plants and promotes a quick, dark green foliage. It becomes quickly 

 available to plant-life when used in the form of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of Ammonia, offered on page 60.
