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 I 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.

Protect the Flowers 



Your perennials and bulbs should be shielded from frost and snow 

 by a warm blanket of leaves. To secure this covering against the 

 winter storms surround the beds with 



Excelsior Rust Proof Bed Guard 



Snow or rain cannot harm its heavy coating of pure zinc.

NO finer maples are 

 grown anywhere than 

 in the natural soil and 

 sturdy climate of this part 

 of Massachusetts. They 

 develop somewhat slower 

 than in some nurseries, but 

 they have a stronger root 

 growth and are better 

 branched out. 



When transplanted to 

 your grounds, they have 

 the backbone in them to 

 make a strong, quick growth. 



This block of 10,000 is 

 an unusually fine lot — 



most of them straight as 

 an arrow. 



If you are going to buy 

 maples this Fall, let us 

 pick out some of the best 

 of these for you. When we 

 tell you the price, you will 

 agree they are certainly 

 worth the money. 



Deciduous trees and 

 shrubs of the better kinds 

 we have in goodly assort- 

 ment. Fall planting has 

 its undeniable economies. 

 Why not take advantage 

 of them? Send for catalog.
