HIGH DPED NITROGEN GATHERING BACTERIA 
for CLOVER5.ALFALFA.BEAN5.and OTHER-LEGUMES 
It Means Better Crops — Better Soils — Less Fertilizers 
"Farmogerm" is the highest grade — most effective — most successful inoculation for legume 
seeds of all kinds. We say this after having made investigation of cheaper articles sold for the 
purpose. There are a number— but we fear to handle them. "Farmogerm" has an important 
advantage in that it may be purchased in advance of the time it is needed and kept on hand ready 
for use without danger or risk of spoiling. This is due to a peculiar tube that is inserted in each 
bottle of "Farmogerm" which admits the necessary quantity of pure air and yet keeps out destruc- 
tive contamination. "Farmogerm" is a pure culture, or growth of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, that 
has been selected and bred up to transform large amounts of nitrogen from the air into soluble 
nitrates. 
Unless your soil naturally contains the proper bacteria, you cannot sucessfully grow Alfalfa, 
Soy Beans, Cow Peas, Field Peas, Sweet Clover, Vetches, Crimson or other Clovers without 
inoculating' your seed. The best form of inoculation is "Farmogerm." Its careful use will insure 
success of all legume crops if all the other ordinary precautions have been taken. 
"Farmogerm" will increase the yield, quality and give quicker growth and earlier maturity. 
It will increase the food value of legumes, make them grow in new localities, where they cannot 
be otherwise grown. "Farmogerm" will enrich the soil for future crops by assisting tlie plant to 
gather at its roots large deposits of nitrogen thereby increasing the fertility and value of the .soil. 
"Farmogerm" is endorsed by farmers, Federal Agricultural Department, and by many State E.x- 
periment Stations. ' 
"Farmogerm" is only useful for Legume plants— by which we mean plants that gather nitro- 
gen at the roots. The bacteria is different for each crop. When ordering, state for wliat yon 
will use "Farmogerm." We recommend "Farmogerm" for Alfalfa, Alsike, Crimson Clover, Sweet 
Clover, Medium Clover, White Clover, Canada Peas, Cow Peas, Garden Peas or Beans, Soy Beans 
and Vetches.
