How Any One Can 

 Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation 

 Home Table and a G 



I have been growing mushrooms for over 

 twelve years. I probably know more about the 

 subject of mushroom culture than anyone else in 

 America. From a start with a few dollars 

 capital I built up the largest mushroom farm in 

 America, with acres of bed space in cultiva- 

 tion. By actual experience I have learned just 

 how mushrooms can be grown, and what's even 

 more important, how they can not be grown. 



Growing mushrooms is really no more difficult 

 than growing radishes. 



It's just a matter of knowing how. 



Every failure in the mushroom business 

 can be traced to poor spawn and unreliable 

 information. 



I have shown thousands of men and women 

 how to grow mushrooms successfully. Most all 

 of them are now in the business growing for 



Delicious Delicacy for the

profit and making a good income without in- 

 terfering with their regular occupation, with this 

 wonderful, easy, pleasant pastime. I hope soor> 

 that a mushroom bed will be as common as 

 vegetable gardens. 



I have wrilten a little book winch gives 

 truthful, reliable, experienced information about 

 mushroom culture, where mushrooms can be 

 grown, how to have a mushroom bed in your 

 cellar, etc. It also tells about spawn and how 

 to secure really reliable spawn. I shall gladly 

 send you this book Free. 



If you have never tried mushroom growing, 

 or if you have tried and failed because of the 

 causes of which I have spoken, write for my 

 free book, in which I will show you beyond 

 the shadow of a doubt that you can have a fine 

 mushroom bed. Address
