Nitrogen Bacteria for Beans 
LEGUME-AID If you want your Bean patch to yield earlier and better, inoculate 
the seed before planting with nitrogen bacteria. See page 94. When ordering, be 
sure to specify wanted for garden Beans, as each leguminous crop requires a separate 
culture. 
Semesan 
Disinfection of Bean seeds by dusting with Semesan destroys surface-borne seed 
diseases and increases stand and yield. See page 93.
