WE HAVE THOROUGHLY TESTED THE RELIABILITY OF THE 
EDWARDS’ LEGUME BACTERIA. 
THE COST. 
EDWARDS’ LEGUME 
BACTERIA cultures are made 
in two sizes, to inoculate 3D, 
and 60 pounds of seed. 
30 pounds, 50c, 
To inoculate 
prepaid. 
To inoculate 60 pounds. $1.00, 
prepaid. 
These prices mean a very 
low cost per acre, the exact 
amount depending on the 
amount of seed sown. The 
cost is less than to pay freight 
rates on the soil from a dis- 
tance, or even to haul it from 
a neighbor’s field for soil inoculation, and the labor is much less, as seed 
for several acres can be inoculated in a few minutes with the pure cultures 
Full directions are sent with each bottle. We can furnish cultures for 
alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover and all other legume crops. 
Grimm Alfalfa plants from different portions 
of the same field, those on the right from seed 
inoculated with Ed wards’ Legume Bacteria, those 
on the left from the same kind of seed not in- 
oculated. The ruler is 18 inches long. Notice 
the stocky growth, the thick sturdy roots, and 
nodule clusters on the inoculated plants as com- 
pared with the weak growth of the others. 
All the requirements for successful inoculation are met in the cul- 
tures of EDWARDS’ LEGUME BACTERIA. These cultures are manu- 
factured by the method orig- 
inated and successfully followed 
for ten years at the Ontario 
Agricultural College and the 
stock cultures were secured 
from the Bacteriological Labor- 
atory of that institution. There 
can therefore, be no question 
as to their efficiency. The cul- 
tures are made according to the 
best principles of the science of 
Bacteriology, and special atten- 
tion is given to keeping up the 
vigor and nitrogen-gathering 
power of the bacteria. 
SEED GROWING. 
The Grimm variety is a heavy seed producer. During the dry seasons 
profitable crops can be threshed in Minnesota. Wisconsin and as far east 
as New York. It will seed best where the land is not too rich and the 
season is reasonably dry. 
Some of my customers in the Dakotas and Montana have threshed and 
sold over $200 worth of Grimm seed per acre. One man in northern Mon-
