Mushroom Spawn 



Culture: Quite simple, and if grown under the proper conditions should produce a nice crop of choice white mush- 

 rooms. Many of our customers make money by growing them for restaurants, hotels, stores or private trade. Can 

 be grown in cellars, sheds, under greenhouse benches, small caves, etc., as well as outdoors on the 

 lawn in the spring or fall months. Mushrooms produce no seed, but instead a white, fibrous substance 

 called Spawn, which we furnish in bricks or bottle-shaped cartons.

 Onion Sets 



Small, clean sets, vigorous, and of choicest quality 



Culture: Onion sets should be planted as early in the spring as the ground can 

 be worked. Make furrows about 1 in. deep and press the onions into the surface 

 hghtly but do not cover; have the rows 12 to 18 in. apart and set the onions 

 about 2 in. apart in the row. Green onions may be had in a few weeks. In the 

 vicinity of Philadelphia, onions large enough to cook are ready in early July, 

 but if large, ripe onions are wanted, it is usually about the middle of July before 

 they can be harvested. By planting sets, onions can be produced for market or 

 household use four to six weeks earlier than can be had from seed. A pound of 

 onion sets will plant a row about 100 ft. long. Use 250 to 325 lbs. to an acre. 

 The early lifting of an onion crop allows for the sowings of quick maturing 

 crops on the same ground the same season.

Garlic Sets 



Extra select California grown sets; 

 large, pure white (150 days) 



The pear-shaped bulbs have a strong, 

 pungent odor but if used in small quan- 

 tities are highly esteemed for adding a 

 dash of flavor to soups, stews, sausages 

 and salad dressings; much in demand 

 by chefs the world over. A fertile, 

 well-drained, sandy loam or muck soil 

 is best suited for growing garlic. The 

 bulbs (sets) are composed of several 

 sections or "cloves" which should be 

 separated and set in rows 1 ft. apart, 

 and 4 in. apart in the rows. Cover the 

 "cloves" with 1 in. of fine soil. When 

 the tops turn yellow, take up the 

 bulbs, dry in the shade, and store in a 

 cool, dry place away from frost. They 

 Willi keep perfectly all winter.

69B81 Katahdin (145 days) certified 



Originated at the experiment station of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at 

 Presque Isle, Maine. Somewhat later maturing than Green Mountain, this 

 variety produces handsome, shallow-eyed tubers which are glossy and white- 

 skinned. The crop is remarkably uniform in shape and size, with few unmarket- 

 able tubers. For best results, plant on light, friable soil, as heavy soils, especially 

 if subject to drought conditions, are not adapted to the needs of this variety.
