Give Your Seeding of Alfalfa, Clover, Peas, Beans, Vetch 
and Other Leguminous Crops the Best Chance to Grow 
At a small cost you can greatly add for your seedling plants conditions for vigor and for the robust growing 
of the crop, and at the same time add to your soil the fertilizer Nitrogen, in commercial quantities. Nitrogen 
is one of the most expensive of fertilizers and is also one of the hardest to keep in the soil. It is, moreover, 
one of the most necessary for plant growth. By inoculating your seed at the time of planting with Farmo- 
germ you can add to the roots of your leguminous crop the bacteria necessary for fixing nitrogen from the 
air. 
We do not ask you to believe what cannot be proved, what has not been tried by others and found success- 
ful by them. If it is good you should have the advantage of knowing about this new method of "Fertilizing 
with Air." 
"It has been amply demonstrated, not only by hundreds of years of experience,

widely varying conditions, that clover and numerous other legumes, supplied witk 
tubercle (nodule) bacteria, obtain from the air, through the agency of these bac- 
teria, under favorable conditions, all the nitrogen they require, and that they Ieava 
in the soil considerable quantities for succeeding crops. In Germany the amount 
of nitrogen added to the soil by legumes, besides that taken off in the crop, is esti-

"Bacteria can put from 150 to 200 pounds of available nitrogen in each acre where 
the legumes are properly used and this is worth from $25 to $30 per acre according 
to the market -value of the nitrates." *

"In every case the crops following the incorporation of the legumes gave yields 
much in excess of those grown after a cereal crop had been turned under."

Mr. W. T. Such purchased Alfalfa seed from us, inoculated the seed with Farmogerm 
and got a perfect stand while neighbors who sowed at the same time got nothing.

FARMOGERM 
MARK 
A pure culture of the most active nitrogen 
gathering bacteria. It comes in the form of 
a jelly, in which the bacteria live. Farmo- 
germ has been tested and tried for years and 
its efficiency thoroughly proven. 
FARMOGERM is guaranteed to retain its 
original vitality for two years, and is the only 
preparation of its kind that is not sealed. 
Other makes are dead or useless after six 
months. 
ALL-CROP FARMOGERM 
All cultures have been mixed together 
here so they will inoculate any legume crop. 
In addition, new bacteria have been found 
which will fix nitrogen in the soil independ- 
ently. This means that these new bacteria 
will add nitrogen for any crop, whether legu- 
minous or not. All-Crop Parmogerm is pre- 
pared dry instead of in jelly. It is the best 
dry culture there is. 
One-acre Can (weight 1 lb ), $1.00. 
Five-acre Can (weight 3 lbs.), $4.00. 
Not postpaid. 
Note. — All-Crop Farmogerm is not in- 
tended to replace the special cultures below. 
For any one crop those have the most bacteria 
and are the best.
