INOCULATE THIS SEED WITH 
LEGUME-AID 
Lupines are Legume Plants 
Inoculation of the seed of Lupines before planting 
enables the plants to draw a large portion of their food 
supply from the air in the form of Nitrogen. They will 
be much more vigorous in growth and more productive 
of large well formed blooms. : 
The process of inoculation is very simple. The seed is 
well coated with Legume-Aid, which is in powder form, 
and immediately planted. 
For Legume-Aid See Page 35.
