DREER'S RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN 



A satisfied customer sends us this evidence of success with 

 Dreer's Mushroom Spawn 



The idea that good Mushrooms can only be pro- 

 duced in caves, pits and houses which have been 

 specially built for the purpose, is erroneous. They 

 can be successfully grown in almost any building, 

 cellar or shed, which can be darkened. Beds can be 

 made on ground floor, or on shelves, in tiers; also in 

 the greenhouse under the benches or in spent hot 

 beds. Thus it may be seen that "Mushrooms for 

 All" can be produced at very little expense, provided 

 care is taken when preparing the bed, and directions, 

 given in our free circular, closely followed. 

 American Spore Culture Spawn. An Ameri- 

 can make of spawn, which produces Mushrooms 

 of excellent quality and large size. We furnish 

 the Cream White No. 8 variety. Per brick, 45 

 cts.; 5 bricks, $2.00; 10 bricks, $3.75, prepaid.
