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 green- 

 house under the benches or in spent hot beds. Thus it may be 

 seen that "Mushrooms for All" can be produced at very little 

 expense, provided care is taken when preparing the bed, and 

 directions, given in our free circular, closely followed. 



American Spore Culture Spawn. An American make of 

 spawn, which produces Mushrooms of excellent quality and 

 large size. It is produced from original spores of the best 

 varieties, gathered, germinated and propagated under a famous 

 French process, producing the most vigorous and prolific 

 spawn. We furnish the Cream White No. 8 variety. Per 

 brick, 45 cts.; 5 bricks, $2.00; 10 bricks, $3.75, prepaid.
