Garden Peas 
PEAS FROM YOUR OWN GARDEN picked only an hour or two before eating are twice as 
sweet as those you would purchase. Try them and you will be convinced. 
CULTliRE— A planting should be made every 10 days from earliest spring until hot weather. 
Another planting in late summer for fall often gives good results. The extra early smooth seeded 
varieties are hardy and may be planted as early as the soil (-an be worked, the wrinkled varieties 
a little later. 
QUANTITY OF SEED. One pound should sow a 50 ft. row, 120 to 180 lbs. an acre.

Your Garden Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas 
Need more than Sun and Water. They need Bacteria Fertilizer 
Inoculate with Nitragin 
WH.4T INOCULATION DOES. When you inoculate the seed, bacteria forms nodules on the roots of the 
plant. These bacteria have the power to take nitrogen from the air. This nitrogen is extremely valuable to 
the plant as fertilizer. It has been proven time and time again by the Government and State Experiment 
Stations and private planters that seed inoculation greatly increases the yield of Garden Peas, all kinds of 
Beans, and the number of flowers borne by Sweet Pea vines. It is past the experimental stage. You profit by 
it this season. 
Nitragin is an old reliable 
Inoculator. It is well 
known and used by Agri¬ 
cultural Colleges. Packed 
in a rich soil-like granular 
medium easy to mix with 
your seed. Contents are 
always fresh. Use on Peas, 
Beans and Sweet Peas. 
Note the mass of nodules 
on the roots.
