Suggestions to Growers 



(PRESERVE FOR REFERENCE) 



A simple method for the preparation of a small bed for amateurs and 

 beginners is described on page 25. 



For varieties of mushrooms, see page 23 and the illustrations. 



Retail prices of spawn are given on page 22. 



Before ordering from your dealer do not fail to read chapter 18, page 

 21. The practice of ordering by the pound should be discontinued. Order 

 by the brick and enclose remittance with your order. Specify the kind of 

 brick wanted, whether "Standard" or "Direct." See page 23. 



For lawns and pastures, inquire from your dealer for special stock. See 

 page 16. 



Commercial growers who are supplying the market will find it to their 

 advantage to enclose in each basket, printed recipes for cooking and pre- 

 serving mushrooms. It is surprising how many people abstain from buying 

 mushrooms because they do not know and cannot learn how to prepare them. 

 Valuable recipes will be found on pages 26 to 30. 



One brick of Lambert's Pure Culture Spawn will plant 8 square feet of 

 bed. 



The whole secret in raising mushrooms lies in the control of atmospheric 

 conditions, temperature and moisture, and in the proper preparation of the 

 compost. (See pages 6 to 12.)

 ture, please advise the American Spawn Co., St. Paul, Minn. See page 32.
