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.
