Henderson's Superior 



MUSHROOM 

 SPAWN. 



Mushrooms may be grown 

 by anyone having a supply 

 of fresh horse manure and 

 a shed or cellar or a space 

 under a greenhouse bench 

 where a temperature of 50 

 to 60 degrees is evenly 

 maintained. They make a 

 most profitable crop when 

 successfully grown, and our 

 superior Spawn, has given 

 splendid results. It is sold 

 in bricks weighing about 

 1 34 pounds, enough when 

 broken into two inch pieces 

 to "spawn" a bed of about 

 9 square feet. 



American "Pure Culture" 

 Mushroom Spawn. 



It is now possible to reproduce mushrooms for 

 individual specimens, applying the same princi- 

 ples as used in the selection of other plants. The 

 Spawn we offer is grown from spores taken from 

 specimens of good form and may be relied on to 

 produce a similar crop. It is sold in flat bricks 

 about 1 3^ inches thick. One brick may be broken 

 into two inch pieces and placed 12 inches apart, to 

 spawn an area of nine square feet. {See engraving) . 

 Price per brick 30c., 10 bricks for $2.76, 100 

 bricks for $25.00. Purchaser paying carriage.
