LYMAN’S GRIMM ALFALFA. 
WE HAVE THOROUGHLY TESTED THE RELIABILITY OF THE 
EDWARDS' LEGUME BACTERIA. 
All the reqiiirement.s for successful inoculation are met in the cultures 
of EDW.\RDS’ LEGUME BACTERIA. These cultures are manufactured by 
(Jrimm Alfalfa plants from diffcront portions of 
the same Held, those on the rlRht from seed Inocu- 
iated with Kdwards’ Letrume Haeteria. those on 
the left from the same klml of seed not inoenlateil. 
The ruler is IS inehcs lontt. Notice the .stocky 
growth, the thick sturdy roots, and nodule clu.sters 
on the inoculated itlauts as compared with the 
weak growth of the others. 
the method originated and suc- 
cessfully followed for ten years 
at the Ontario Agricultural Col- 
lege and the stock cultures were 
secured from the Bacteriological 
Laboratory of that institution. 
There can therefore, be no ques- 
tion as to their efficiency. The 
cultures are made according to 
the best principles of the sci- 
ences of Bacteriology, and spe- 
cial attention is given to keeping 
up the vigor and nitrogen-gath- 
ering power of the bacteria. 
THE COST. 
EDWARDS’ LEGUME 
BACTERI.\ cultures are made 
in two sizes, to inoculate 30, 
and 60 pounds of seed. 
To inoculate 30 pounds, 60c, 
prepaid. 
To inoculate 60 pounds, $1.20, 
prepaid. 
These prices mean a very 
low cost per acre, the exact 
amount depending on the 
amount of seed sown. Full 
directions are sent with each 
bottle. We can furnish cultures for alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover, and all 
other legume crops. 
SOIL INOCULATION. 
Two hundred pounds of alfalfa or sweet clover soil scattered broadcast will 
inoculate one acre. Harrow immediately. An equal part of soil and seed 
sown together will supply the inoculation.

Mr. A. B. Lyman, Excelsior, Minn. 
The twenty a<-res of your (iriinin that I 
seerled in 191."> came through the winter 
again in line shape. I <lo not think there 
was a loss of one plant by winter-killing. 
The first cutting made two tons i>er acre 
and I think the second will l>e fully as 
heavy. I am very itrond of this fiebl. 
Yours truly.
