DREER'S RELIABLE SEEDS 



Dreer's Reliable English Milltrack Mushroom Spawn. 



The best results are obtained by the use of our superior English Mushroom Spawn, which is largely used by the most successful 

 growers around Philadelphia. The quality of our spawn is well known. Full and explicit instructions for growing Mushrooms can 

 be found in Dreer's " Vegetables Under Glass." By mail 25 cents. 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. One of the best places to grow these 

 is under a greenhouse bench, where the thermometer does not run too high.
