ENGLISH MILLTRACK MUSHROOM SPAWN. 



The constantly increasing demand for mushrooms taxes to a greater degree the skill and 

 perseverance of the grower. Fresh, live spawn must be obtained, without which success 

 would be impossible. We are fully alive to the importance of quality in spawn to the mush- 

 room-raiser and we get the best produced. It is prepared from virgin mycelium, in a com- 

 post most favorable to its development and preservation. It is germinated and developed 

 under special scientific methods, the conditions of air, light, heat, and humidity of the spawn- 

 ing-houses being carefully regulated. Our mushroom spawn then is not the uncertain 

 material of the past, but is of uniform quality, prepared by the most successful and progress- 

 ive mushroom specialist in England. Under proper treatment it has never been known to 

 fail. We import every two or three months to ensure freshness. Per lb. ,15c.; 81bs.,$i.oo;

Andover, Mass., Jan. 20. 

 Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. : 



The Mushroom Spawn I received from you last fall is the best I ever had. My first bed began to yield on 

 December ist, and it looks fully as well to-day as at any time during its bearing, It is completely alive with small 

 Mushrooms. I expect to get into Boston in about two weeks, when I will bring in another order for seeds. 



Respectfully yours, J. H. PLAYDON.
