MUSHROOMS. 



Around the production of the Mush- i 

 room there appears to be in the ; 

 minds of many people a profound 

 mystery, which can be peneirated 

 only by the initiated; in reality, 

 however, the cultivation of this 

 hiprhly esteemed and nutritious es- 

 culent is a very simple matter, re- 

 quiring- ordinary intelligence and 

 care. Full and explicit instruc- 

 tions are contained in our circular, 

 '■How to Grow Mushrooms Suc- 

 cessfully.'" which is sent free with 

 every order for spawn.

 ■^EW LADY FINGER — To our friends in the south it is unnecessary 

 to say anything about the advantage of young green seed pods 

 Df Okra for flavoring soups. In the Middle and Northern states 

 they are not so thoroughly appreciated as they deserve to be. 

 The seed pods, produced in abundance, give a consistency and 

 davor to soup that is unequalled. The variety I now offer is'quite 



prolific, produc- 

 ing long, slender 

 pods of the form 

 of a lady's finger. 

 Use them while 

 small and tender.

 far north as Canada. Hundreds of my young friends have 

 written me that they had a wonderful crop the past season. It
