Please send us your Seed Catalogue. I must congratulate 'you on having the best Mushroom Spawn we used 

 last year. It came in twenty-one days, and the twenty-fifth day we commenced to pick. Yours was a test between 

 seven others and proved the strongest and most prolific. We hope to give you an order next season.
