IV^ICHELL didn't discover the 

 north pole. All honor to

 umph rests on being a pioneer in 

 good seeds and bulbs. If you

 give you (A. D. 1909) our lists 

 are at your service. Mailed hree.

 thing ! You have everything to

 we get the selection of fine, sound bulbs. 

 These sell readily on the store counter, and 

 yield a handsome profit. We would recom-

 be done ia about five weeks, and place the 

 bulbs you desire to sell on the counter, with 

 the blooming plants.

LAMBERT'S PURE CULTURE SPAWN 



As we understand it, the difference between Direct and Standard Spawn is as follows: The " Direct " bricks 

 are inoculated with spores taken from specimen mushrooms: without laboratory transfer The " Standard " 

 bricks are inoculated from spores propagated and when propagated transferred into the bricks of spawn. Thp 

 Direct bricks produce the truest types of one kind or shade of color mushrooms.
