American <.p URE CULTURE" 

 MUSHROOM SPAWN. 



Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn 

 enable pure cultures to be taken direct from selected specimens 

 of specific varieties, insuring a greater yield of more uniform 

 and marketable product than spawn " run " from hit-and-miss 

 large, small and unevenly shaped and colored varieties of 

 mushrooms. It is sold in bricks measuring about 8ix5jxl^ 

 inches. Each brick weighs from 1{ to li lbs. sufficient to spawn 

 an area of 9 square feet. Price, purchaser paying carriage, 

 per lb. 18c, 8 lbs. for $1.15, per 100 lbs. $12.50. 



French Virgin Mushroom Spawn 



The finest type of large, white French Mushroom propagated 

 in a sterilized medium insures freedom from inferior types as 

 well as the bacterial enemies so often prevalent in ordinary 

 spawn. Sold in compressed tablets measuring 3£x2jxl£ inches, 

 to be split into four portions, each portion to be planted ten to 

 twelve inches apart. Tablets, 10c. each, $1 . 00 doz., $7. 00 per 100. 



H«$jWs PROSPERITY PEA 



The distinctive merits are its extreme earliness com- 

 bined with its abundant production of immense pods, 

 each filled with from 6 to 10 true, large, wrinkled 

 marrow peas of the most delicious flavor — as large 

 as sweet and as tender as the finest late wrinkled 

 marrow pea grown. When one considers that 

 peas of this superior size and quality are ready 

 for picking only a day or two later than the 

 little round-seeded hardshell " Extra Earlies," 

 one realizes what a valuable acquisition 

 our Prosperity Pea really is. Height about 

 3 feet. Price, 45c. qt., $3.50 pk., $12.00 bush. 



" / have been gardening for 27 years and never raised 

 such peas as your Prosperity." 



F. SESTIER, Market Gardner, Des Moines, Iowa 



" My Prosperity Peas are ahead of all in this com- 

 munity." L. W. THOMAS, Yulaha. Fla. 



HORSFORD'S 



Market Garden Pea. 



A grand midseason wrinkled Pea noted 

 for its uniform growth, about 2 feet high, 

 and its prodigious yield. It has yielded 

 more shelled Peas per acre than any other 

 American variety. The pods, though of 

 medium size, are literally packed with Peas of 

 sweet, delicious flavor. Price on application. 



Notts Excelsior Pea. 



This is an extra early dwarf wrinkled Pea, 

 usually ready for table in 40 to 45 days 

 from planting. It grows about 14 inches 

 high. It is of vigorous constitution, and 

 wonderfully productive. The even, regular 

 habit of the plant is also a great advantage, 

 particularly to market growers. Nott's 

 Excelsior has not onlv come to stay, but will eventually supersede many 

 sorts of like character. Price, 35c. qt., $2.50 pk., $9.00 bush. 



" The Nott's Excelsior Peas I bought from you last spring did very well indeed. The crop 

 was a bountiful one, and the vines bore pods from early in July until frost. I am much pleased 

 with the variety." JAMES F. BURKE, Canton St., North Easton, Mass.
