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. 
CULTURE —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 smpoth seeded 
varieties are hardy and may be planted as early as the soil can 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.

INOCULATE ALL LEGUMES 
With 
NITRAGID) 
The 0'iqinal Legume Inoeulator ^ 
Note the mass of nodules 
on the roots. 
Inoculate your Peas, Beans 
and Sweet Peas 
All Legumes-plants that bear their seed in pods 
form a partnership at the base of the roots with 
bacteria that are able to secrete nitrogen and give 
it to the plant. 
Peas, Beans and Sweet Peas belong to the Legume 
family and therefore should be inoculated with 
NITRAGIN to stimulate the germs. The Bacteria 
will form on the roots like lumps or nodules, making 
more productive crops. 
NITRAGIN is an old reliable Inoeulator and is 
used by Agricultural Colleges. It is packed in a 
rich soil-like granular medium, easy to mix with 
your seed Inoculate for Good Yield.
