THE CULTIVATION OE THE MIJSHEOOM. 



BX A MARKET GAEDENEE. 



^ERSONS intrusted with the management of private 

 gardens may weli complain of occasional failures in the 

 cultivation of mushrooms, for we fail sometimes, and 

 there is a sort of " luck " about the business even in the 

 best managed places. I have had clever men on my 

 grounds, who could do everything except grow mushrooms, and 

 could never learn that business, though there is as little to learn in 

 it as any of the most simple operations that occur in the round of 

 the seasons. One great advantage we have over private growers 

 is, first, full command of every kind of material, and, secondly, the 

 carrying out of the operations on a large scale. Large beds, well 

 made, keep such a genial heat, that, with good manure and good 

 spawn, success is pretty certain, Small beds cool quickly, and, in 

 small places, the grower is ofcen obliged to use manure that has 

 become too much fermented, and so his best efforts are in vain. 

 The best prospect of success is where a man can select the manure 

 as it comes I'rom the stable, or, better still, in the stable itself, and 

 the mushrooms ought to be grown in a house adjoining the stable, 

 if possible, or, if there is plenty of room, it may actually be done
