^ Mushroom Spawn 



Culture: Quite simple and if grown under the proper conditions should produce a nice crop of choice white Mush- 

 rooms. Many of our customers make money by growing them for restaurants, hotels, stores or private trade. Can 

 be grown any time in cellars, sheds, under greenhouse benches, small caves, etc., as well as outdoors 

 on the lawn in the spring or fall months. Mushroom produces no seed, but instead a white fibrous 

 substance called Spawn which we furnish in bricks or bottle shape cartons.

Onion Sets 



Small Clean Sets, Vigorous, and of Choicest Quality 

 Culture: Onion Sets should be planted as early i n the spring as the ground can 

 be worked. Make furrows about 1 in. deep and press the Onions into the surface 

 lightly but do not cover; have the rows 12 to 18 in. apart and set the Onions 

 about 2 in. apart in the row. Green Onions may be had in a few weeks. In the 

 vicinity of Philadelphia, Onions large enough to cook are ready in early July, 

 but if large, ripe Onionsare wanted, it is usually about the middle of Tuly before 

 they can be harvested. By planting sets. Onions can be produced for market or 

 household use four to six weeks earlier than can be had from seed. A pound of 

 Onion Sets will plant a row about 100 ft. long. Use 250 to 325 lbs. to an acre.

 crops on the same ground the same season.
