Showing dif¬ 
ference inyield 
between crop 
from inocu¬ 
lated and not 
inoculated 
seed. 
The cost per 
acre is small. 
The extra 
returns are 
large. Bigger 
yields and 
better soil 
building. 
Inoculation 
Necessary 
No legume can thrive with¬ 
out proper inoculation. 
In order to be inoculated 
there must be a certain strain 
of bacteria working in the 
roots of the plants. Then and 
then only can these legumes 
take nitrogen from the air and 
use it for its own growth. 
Legumes are heavy users of 
nitrogen. If they cannot make 
it for themselves because they 
lack the proper bacteria, they 
generally turn yellow and 
often die. Meanwhile instead 
of building up your land they 
are robbing it of nitrogen 
which is the most valuable 
plant food. You grow legumes 
because you want them to 
store nitrogen in the soil but 
they will take it away if they 
are not properly inoculated. 
When you buy Berry’s No¬ 
dule Germ you get a package 
containing millions of bacteria 
suited for the crop you specify. 
You put that on the seed. See 
opposite column. As soon as 
the seed sprouts the bacteria 
start to work and give the 
plant the power to make its 
own nitrogen out of the air. 
We urge you to inoculate. 
The cost is small. It is easy 
to apply. We guarantee our 
Nodule Germ to give satisfac¬ 
tory results. If it does not 
make nodules on the roots of 
your plants we will refund the 
price of the material. See op¬ 
posite column for prices.

Berry’s 
Nodule Germ 
A Wise Investment 
In the opposite column we 
have explained the necessity 
of proper inoculation for your 
seed. Berry’s Nodule Germ is 
one of the best and most 
economical ways of securing 
this inoculation. It is very 
easy to apply. The simple di¬ 
rections are printed on each 
package. Guaranteed to pro¬ 
duce nodules if used as di¬ 
rected. 
A New Development 
Most Inoculants are pre¬ 
pared so that you have to buy 
different packages for different 
kinds of legumes. For exam¬ 
ple you buy one kind if you 
want to inoculate Red and Al¬ 
sike Clover, another for Al¬ 
falfa, Sweet Clover and still 
another for Soybeans. 
Now, Berry’s Nodule Germ 
is prepared by a laboratory 
that has devised a satisfactory- 
method of combining different 
strains of bacteria in one pack¬ 
age. This will inoculate Red, 
Alsike, Crimson Clover, and 
all Alfalfas. You can order as 
much as y r ou need of Berry’s 
Nodule Germ and use part of 
it on Clovers and part on Al¬ 
falfa, if so desired. It can also 
be used on Soybeans. 
NODULE GERM PRICES

When used on Soybeans 
each package will inoculate 
double the amount of seed 
specified above.
