an hour or two before eating are twice 
as sweet as those you would purchase.

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 smooth seeded varieties 
are hardy and may be planted as early 
as the soil can be worked, the wrinkled 
varieties a little later. One pound should 
sow a 50 foot row, 120 to 180 lbs. an acre.

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 Inoculator and is used 
by Agricultural Colleges. It is packed in a rich soil-like 
granular medium, easy to mix with your seed. Inocu¬ 
late for Good Yield.
