MUSHROOMS MEASURING OVER SIX INCHES ACROSS, GROWN 

 FROM JOHNSON'S ENGLISH MIIXTRACK SPAWN. 



RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The culture of mushrooms is increasing enor- 

 mously. They used to be considered a luxury, 

 but now all restaurants and hotels have them 

 daily on their menus, and they are very largely 

 required in household use. They can be grown 

 successfully in cellars, in barns and stables, or 

 other buildings that perhaps are standing idle. 

 They are the most profitable crop for the outlay 

 that can be grown. We send practical working 

 directions with each order for spawn. 



JOHNSON'S ENGLISH MILLTRACK MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Our celebrated English Milltrack brand (made by the best maker in England specially for our 

 trade) has gained an enviable reputation among growers for its uniform good quality, and can be thor- 

 oughly relied upon to produce a good crop. Per brick, 1£ lbs., 15c. (bricks, postpaid, 25c); 10 lbs.. 

 80c. ; 25 lbs., $1.50 ; 100 lbs., $5.75 ; 1,000 lbs. and over, 54c. per lb. (250 lbs. sold at 1,000-lb. rate).
