Every GARDENER Should Know 
That Peas, Beans, Sweet Peas and Lupines belong to the 
Legume family—plants that bear their seed in a pod—like clover 
and alfalfa. All legumes form a partnership at the roots with 
certain kinds of helpful bacteria called Legume Germs, that are 
able to pump or draw nitrogen from the air and give it to the 
plant. They form on the roots in colonies, looking like lumps 
called nodules, which are really nitrogen storehouses. 
Without these germs, legumes would rob the soil of nourish¬ 
ment and have a sickly growth. Few soils contain a natural 
supply of these beneficial organisms. It is therefore necessary to 
“inoculate”—apply these nitrogen-gathering germs directly to 
the seed before planting. All Agriculturists recommend inocula¬ 
tion for legumes. 
NITRAGIN is a granular MOIST soil-like culture, packed in 
tins. Easy to apply. Directions on every can.
