FLORENCE FENNEL OR FINOCCHIO. 



This is a delicious Italian salad vegetable worthy of 

 much more extensive use in this country. The 

 thickened bases of the leaf-stalka overlap each 

 other so as to form a "head," and this la usually 

 eaten raw like celery or head-lettuce, although it 

 makes a delightfully palatable dish when boiled. 

 The flavor is somewhat like celery but with an 

 aromatic sweetness peculiarly Its own. Seed may 

 be sown from early spring until midsummer. Thin 

 out to 5 or 6 inches apart in the row (rowa about 

 15 Inches apart), and when the "heads" are about 

 hen's egg size draw the soil half way up over 

 them. Cutting may begin in about ten days. Pkt. 

 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 70c. 



Florence Fennel. 



MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Contrary to a rather common belief there is nothing mys- 

 terious in the cultivation of the Mushroom and they may be 

 easily grown by following directions given in our pamphlet 

 on "How to Grow Mushrooms," which we furnish free with 

 all orders for Spawn. Sample copies by mail, 5c. 1 brick to 

 every square yard. 



PURE CULTURE MUSHR003I SPAWN. 



Prepared in America from selected Mushrooms grown un- 

 der cultivation. The Spawn is perfectly fresh and its growth 

 is therefore quicker and more vigorous than that of imported 

 Spawn. As Pure Culture Spawn is inoculated from pure spore 

 cultures of selected varieties it is true to type, free from for- 

 eign moulds and parasitic diseases and of maximum strength 

 and prolificness.

 chaser paying charges.
