DREER'S RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The idea that good Mushrooms can only be produced 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, and to some extent out of doors 

 on the lawn or in the orchard or meadow. Thus it may be seen 

 that "Mushrooms for All" can be produced at very little expense. 



Dreer's Mushroom Circular free on application. Tells how-to prepare the Mushroom bed and take care of crop 

 interested in growing Mushrooms write for a copy; note also book offered below. 

 Mushroom Growing. The latest work on the subject. Postpaid, $2.00.
