How Any One Can 

 Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delt 

 Table a.nd a. Good 



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 

 cultivation. By actual experience I 

 have learned just how mushrooms can 

 be grown and what's even more im- 

 portant, how they can not be grown. 



Growing mushrooms is really no 

 more difficult than growing radishes. 



It's just a matter of knowing how. 



Even- failure in the mushroom busi- 

 ness can be traced to poor spawn and 

 unreliable information. 



cious Delicacy^ 1 for the Home 

 Income if you Wish. 



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 

 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 grow- 

 ing, 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 be- 

 yond the shadow of a doubt that you can 

 have a fine mushroom bed. Address

bed HAMMOCK 



BEFOREyou buy a hammock 

 learn why, after ten years of service, 

 a Rowe Gloucester Bed Hammock is 

 still strong, comfortable and sightly. 



Note that the Rowe Gloucester bed hammock has double 

 thickness of duck in all parts subjected to strain, and has a 

 double seam along its entire length. Note that it is made of 

 duck weighing 21 ounces to the square yard. (Some ham- 

 mocks are made of even 8-oz. duck, single thickness.) 



The Rowe Gloucester is an adaptation to general use of 

 the hammock made by Rowe for the U. S. Navy 40 years 

 ago. Made by experienced sail makers who were trained to 

 sew canvas sails strong enough to hold any wind that blows. 

 Don't buy a cheap experiment made by men without the 

 sailmaker's knowledge of canvas. 



There is not one penny for useless show in a Rowe 

 Gloucester; it all goes for durability and service. 



Rowe's Hammocks have consistently given ten years of 

 continuous outdoor service. We have never had one returned 

 to us as unsatisfactory. They are firm, strong, comfortable. 

 They present essential advantages of which other makers 

 have not even learned the need. 



Some of the dealers selling Rowe's Gloucester Hammocks are named 

 below. If you are not so located as to deal conveniently with them, we 

 will supply you direct. Before you buy a Hammock, be sure to see 

 ours or

Every Rowe Hammock bears our name on a small silk label. 

 Look for it to avoid substitution.
