Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delicious Deli- 

 cacy for the Home Ta.ble and a. Good 

 Income If You Wish. 



I have shown thousands of men and women how to grow 

 mushrooms success ully. 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 mushroom bed will be as 

 common as vegetable gardens. 



I have written a little book which 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, write for my free book in which I will show you beyond the shaduw 

 of a doubt that you can have a fine mushroom bed. Address

Build a Winter Garden— a Greenhouse 



HAVE you ever longed to have a 

 cheery, happy sort of a place, where 

 right through the ■winter months 

 you could dig in the earth, plant 

 seeds and watch them grow, just as you 

 do with such pleasure and benefit in the 

 summer ? A place where you can feel the 

 warm sun on your back, soothing and 

 driving dull care away while you make 

 things grow in Mother Earth ? Then you 

 ■want one of our "Gardens of Glass," then 



summer can be yours the -whole year 

 'round. ISTot only will you have a summer 

 temperature, but have an attractive, bub- 

 ble-like enclosure with hardly anything 

 but glass between you and outdoors. 

 That's the kind of greenhouse the TJ-Bar 

 construction makes, and we are the only 

 TJ-Bar builders. Build at once and you can 

 have a continuous chapter of summer all 

 the winter long. "We have an interesting 

 catalog which we will be glad to send you.

How to Plant about 

 the Country Home 



Is a practical book containing facts. The same painstaking care that has 

 made Harrison's Trees and Plants a success for more than twenty years has 

 been put into making this a work "that every home lover may read, and under- 

 stand, and be benefited by. 

 The price is 25 cents, but a copy will be sent free to any one expecting to invest 

 in ornamental stock. Of equal value in its line is our nursery book, "How to 

 Grow Fruit," containing vital facts for the orchardist. Price 25 cents — free to 

 prospective buyers. 

 For years we have given special study to making country homes beautiful at 

 reasonable cost. Wo have learned how a few trees, shrubs and vines will trans- 

 form the most barren and unpromising home into a spot whose beauty is the^^f 

 pride of a whole neighborhood. And we know dozens of cases in which homes jgy^JLJ, 

 so beautified have sold at prices much higher than they could otherwise 

 have commanded.
