How Anyone Can Grow 

 Mushrooms 



A Healthful Occupation — A Delicacy For Your Table 

 and a Good Income If You Wish 



I have spent twenty years in this business. I started with practically nothing and 

 built up the largest Mushroom Plant in America. By actual experience 1 have 

 learned just how mushrooms can be grown. It's just as easy as growing radishes 

 when you know how, and I tell you how as well as just how and where to market 

 your crop. I have started thousands of men as well as women in this business. 

 Many of whom are now well established growers making a steady income. 



Mushrooms can be grown at home in your basement, barn, shed, chicken house, 

 etc. Your whole family can be interested and participate in growing them. They re- 

 quire so little care, that it does not interfere in any way with your regular occupation. 



I have written a little book — fully illustrated — which gives truthful, reliable, exper- 

 ienced information about mushroom culture and I will gladly send you this book 

 Free. It's just as easy to have a mushroom bed at home as it is to have a kitchen 

 garden. If you have never tried to grow mushrooms before, by all means, try it now.

 Says of "Virginia" 



I never read a story that marched more 

 relentlessly. To say, should Virginia have 

 done so, or not done so would be sheer 

 impertinence — like saying, "Ought it to 

 have rained?" We are in at the death — 

 and the birth — of a generation, and we 

 come out too startled with new knowledge 

 to take sides. Virginia and Oliver — the old 

 and the new — they are fighting it out yet in 

 many of us. But they will fight less blindly 

 for this illumination. I am truly grateful 

 for the book.

E have a man in our office who 

 has a very interesting job. 



He receives letters from all over the world 

 — and replies to every one of them, not with 

 a mere printed form; but with a personal 

 letter carefully thought but. 



Some days he travels pretty much all over 

 New York City looking for the right answer 

 to a single letter. 



This man conducts our Readers' Service 

 Department. 



If you come across anything in any of our 

 magazines or anywhere else for that matter, 

 about which you want more information, just 

 write him a letter. 



He'll answer it — that's his job.

In which you will 

 recognize yourself 



Every idea we have is run into a consti- 

 tution. We cannot think without a chair- 

 man. Our whims have secretaries; our 

 fads have by-laws. Literature is a club. 

 Philosophy is a society. Our reforms are 

 mass meetings. Our culture is a summer 

 school. We cannot mourn our mighty dead 

 without Carnegie Hall and forty vice-presi- 

 dents. We awe the impenitent with crowds, 

 convert the world with boards, and save 

 the lost with delegates; and how Jesus of 

 Nazareth could have done so great a work 

 without being on a committee is beyond 

 our ken. Where is the man who, guileless- 

 eyed, can look in his brother's face; can 

 declare upon his honour that he has never 

 been a delegate, never belonged to anything, 

 never been nominated, elected, imposed on, 

 in his life ? —
