MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Produced by new grafting 

 process from selected and 

 prolific speci 

 mens, thoroughly 

 acclimatized, has 

 never failed to 

 run. 



This spawn is 

 made from cul 

 tures taken by the 

 selective meth 

 od recently dis 

 covered by Dr. 

 Duggar, from 

 choice specimens 

 of the best varie 

 ties of mushrooms 

 known to be thor 

 oughly acclima- 

 tized.andselected 

 with special reference 

 to their vigor, size, flavor and prolificness. The elements 

 of uncertainty surrounding the old chance method of 

 producing spawn are therefore eliminated, and a uni 

 form crop of the best marketable variety, to the exclu 

 sion of all other and inferior fungi, is thus assured. 



This spawn is admirably adapted to grow in the dark waste 

 space of greenhouses, under the benches, thus giving florists an 

 additional and material source of revenue. 



For sale by all leading Seedsmen. Practical instructions on 

 &quot;Mushroom Culture&quot; mailed free on application.
