Nitro-Culture. The New Fertilizer Idea 



A new method has recently been discovered to make worn-out or poor land productive. Plants need nitrogen — 

 can't grow without it. Air is four-fifths free nitrogen ; plants cannot extract nitrogen from the air, but there are 

 germs that can. These germs when put into the soil fasten themselves to the roots of the plants, draw the free nitro- 

 gen out of the air and feed it to the plants. The germs come ready to use, in a form called Nitro-Culture. put up in 

 small dry packages. Simply add it to water and sprinkle over the seeds before planting. 



Nitro-Culture sufficient to inoculate the following seeds per acre, mailed at the following prices : 

 Trial pkts., except where noted, 75c. When ordering, state what particular crop you desire to inoculate.
