of the finely fringed leaves that this plant is quite worthy of a place in the garden as an ornamental border plant.

Culture. Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches in greenhouses, or in sheds wherever the tem- 
perature of 50 degrees can be kept up during the Winter. The beds should be made from November to February, 
according to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it requires about 2 months for them to begin bearing. Secure 
fresh horse dung, free from straw and litter and mix an equal bulk of loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this 
under cover, taking care to turn it every day to prevent it from heating, until the pile is large enough to make a 
bed of the required size. Three or four feet wide, eight inches deep and any length desired are the proper pro- 
portions for a bed, but this may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers 
and pounding down each with the back of a spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon as the 
heat subsides to 90 degrees make holes in the hed about a foot apart each way, into which put pieces of spawn 
2 or 3 inches in diameter ; fill up the holes with compost, and at the expiration of a week or 10 days the spawn 
will have thoroughly diffused itself through the bed. Spread layer of soil over the heap to the depth of 2 inches, 
and cover with 3 or 4 inches of hay, straw or litter. Examine bed often to see that it does not get dry. Take ‘ Zs We Rn 
special care, however, when water is given that it be at a temperature of 100. One brick to a bed 6 feet square. © ti je
