VEGETAB 
SEEDS FOR COVER CROPS 
The importance of a Cover Crop as a cheap and beneficial way of getting humus and 
Nitrogen into the soil is yearly becoming more impressed upon the fruit growers of 
California. We can supply any of the following legumes and will be pleased to quote 
prices on large quantities. 
Double your crops of the above legumes by inoculating before planting with Nitro¬ 
gen Culture, the greatest agricultural discovery of the century, recommended by the 
United States Department of Agriculture and agricultural experts throughout the 
world. (See below for full particulars and prices.) Do not fail to give it a trial. 
ADVICE. Green manuring is new to a great many farmers, and mistakes are liable 
to the inexperienced. To save our customers any unsatisfactory experiments we offer 
free the advice of our experts on the subject. The location, general character of the soil 
and crops grown will enable us to recommend the best cover crop to use. Don’t hesitate 
to ask questions. 
SPRING VETCHES 
VETCHES 
Spring Vetches, or Tares. Growing into favor more and more each 
year for plowing under. They have the advantage over peas 
in that they make a greater growth of vine, while as the seed 
is much smaller in proportion to peas, a smaller quantity is re¬ 
quired to plant an acre. They are valuable also as a green food 
for milch cows. Sow 50 pounds to the acre. 
Sand or Winter Vetch, used extensively in the south for cover 
crop and for its forage value.

NITROGEN CULTURE 
Write for Special Treatise on Nitrogen Culture Free 
The germ? have been discovered, and are to be had in unlimited quantity, that enable leguminous plants to collect nitrogen 
from the air and give it to the earth, thereby replenishing poor and exhausted land with a copious supply of nitrogen and also 
f° l f i? 0Te - P ™ ductl ^ e * away with artificial manure; saves time and labor; is convenient to handle' effective 
m results, and at the minimum of cost. Don t fail to try it and be convinced. 
The method of application is simplicity itself, consisting in inoculating the seed that is about to be planted as cron to turn 
under as green manure. This is accomplished by using cotton as a carrier for the nitrogen-gathering bacteria and then allowed to 
dry, rendering the same dormant and inactive. In this way it is readily handled as an article of commerce
