MUSHROOMS. 



The best results are obtained by the use of our superior 

 English Mushroom Spawn, which is largely used by the most 

 sjccessful growers around Philadelphia. Full and explicit 

 instructions are contained in our circular, " How to Grow 

 Mushrooms Successfully," which we will mail free on appli- 

 cation.

The quality of our Spawn is well known. One grower at 

 Concordville, Pa., tells us he used 375 pounds of our Spawn 

 in a bed of two car loads of manure, cutting over a period of 

 five to six months 2,433 pounds of salable Mushrooms, on 

 which he realized a handsome profit.
