MUSHROOMS. 



The accompanying pictnre shows a 

 bench in a north greenhouse partly 

 filled with thes3 delicious fungi. The 

 spawn was put in September 30th and 

 we started picking October 28th. I 

 would say that the bed was made and 

 planted in ihe regular way with the 

 exception of the manure which is only 



4 inches deep. The result reflects 

 credit on the grower, John Brock, 

 whose picture was taken at the same 

 time. The spawn used was English 

 Milltrack and Pure Culture. The only 

 difference I could see was that the 

 mushrooms of the Milltrack came 

 browner than those from Pure Culture.
