SMJIJNG/POTASH IN GERMANY 



Delivery Guaranteed 



Direct from the German Mines 

 to Your Farm 



Some fertilizer manufacturers may tell you that they 

 will sell you potash cheaper than we will. We are 

 offering carloads for cash direct from the German 

 mines to the buyer at the lowest price ever quoted. 

 If any one offers it to you for less than our price, be- 

 fore accepting his offer be sure that the manufacturer 

 signs a contract with you absolutely guaranteeing de- 

 livery of potash salts and not some sub- 

 stitute in the shape of such mixed 



goods as he may have on hand at the close of the season. 

 You know how. it has been in the past. If you 

 are contracting for other fertilizers, be sure that 

 the contract requires delivery of the potash at the 

 same time with or before the delivery of the other 

 goods. Do not accept the other goods until the 

 potash is delivered. Do not depend on the 

 assurance of the salesman. Write it in 

 the contract. It will pay you to do so.

How Any One Can 



Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delicious Delicacy for the Home 

 Ta.ble and a. Good Income if you Wish 



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 cul- 

 tivation. By actual experience 1 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 busi- 

 ness can be traced to poor spawn and 

 unreliable information. 



I have shown thousands of men and 

 women how to grow mushrooms suc- 

 cessfully. Most all of them are now in 

 the business growing for profit and making a 

 good income without interfering with their 

 regular occupation with this wonderful, easy, 

 pleasant pastime. I hope soon that a mush- 

 room bed will be as common as vegetable 

 gardens. 



I have written a little book which gives truth- 

 ful, reliable, experienced information about mush- 

 room 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 mush- 

 room bed. Address
