FOR BHUBABB AlTD MUSHBOOMS. 



We have a rhubarb forcing house 

 under construction, 16x225 feet. It is 

 forty-two inches high at the sides and 

 seven feet in the center. Please advise 

 us how many 114-inch return pipes will 

 be required to heat this house to the 

 right temperature for best results. "We 

 have a steam system and usually carry 

 three to six pounds of steam. The house 

 is well built with ship lap and covered 

 with heavy tar paper. In this part of 

 Washington state we have zero weather 

 nearly every winter. Would this house 

 be suitable for growing mushrooms, 

 and where can the best mushroom 

 spawn be procured? W. W. P. C. 



If your house is built warmly, I 

 think eight pipes will be all you will 

 want. You might put in six or seven 

 lines and then leave plugs in the open- 

 ings instead of putting in the other 

 two. If you find early in the winter 

 that you could use more pipes, it would 

 then be only a few hours' work to 

 screw them in. The house would make 

 a good mushroom house, but do not for- 

 get that some ventilation is needed for 

 both crops. Several reliable dealers in 

 spawn are advertising in The Review.
