DREER'S RELIABLE MUSHROOH SPAWN. 



The best results are obtained by the use of our superb Mush- 

 room Spawn, which is largely used by the most successful 

 growers. Full and explicit instructions for growing mushrooms 

 are sent by us free with all orders for Spawn. Everyone who 

 has a cellar or outside buildings not in use should by all means 

 grow this most delicious esculent, considered by most people a 

 luxury. 



English Milltrack Spawn. For many years we have been 

 selling a splendid make of English Spawn which has given 

 excellent results, producing large crops of the Mushrooms. It 

 is made with great care and is full of live "mycelium." It 

 is this that produces the Mushrooms. It is made in bricks, of 

 about 1} lbs., and each brick is sufficient for 8 square feet of 

 bed. Per brick, 15 cts. (by mail, 25 cts.); by express, 12 

 bricks, $1.C; 25 lbs., $2.50; 50 lbs., $450; 100 lbs., $8.00. 



Pure Culture Spawn. This is an American make of spawn, 

 the method having been discovered by a scientist in 1903. It 

 produces Mushrooms of excellent quality and lar^e size, this 

 being due to the fact that the spawn is obtained by a process 

 of "grafting," only large and vigorous specimens of Mush- 

 rooms being used for the purpose. Per brick, 25 cts. (by 

 mail, 35 cts.); by express, 5 bricks, $1.C0; 10 bricks, $1.70; 

 25 bricks, $4.00;50 bricks, $7.00.

 pared loose, in boxes. 3-lb. boxes, £1.50, by express.
