AROUND the production of the 

 Mushroom there appears to be 

 in the minds of many people a 

 profound mystery, which can be 

 penetrated only by the initiated; 

 in reality, however, the cultiva- 

 tion of this highly esteemed and 

 nutritious esculent is a very simple 

 matter, requiring: only ordinary 

 intelligence and care to insure suc- 

 cess. The best results are ob- 

 tained by the use of our High 

 Grade English Mushroom Spawn, 

 "Which is used largely by the most 

 successful growers throughout the 

 country. Full and explicit instruc- 

 tions are contained in our circular 

 "How to Grow Mushrooms Suc- 

 cessfully," which is sent free with 

 everv order for Spawn.

 NEW LADY FINGER — To our friends in the South it is unnecessary 

 to say anything about the advantage of young green seed pods 

 of Okra for flavoring soups. In the Middle and Northern States 

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



The seed 

 pods, p r o- 

 duced in a- 

 bundance, 

 give a consis- 

 tency and fla- 

 vor to soup 

 that is un- 

 eqUaled. The 

 variety I now 

 offer is quite 

 prolific, pro- 

 ducing long, 

 slender pods 

 of the form 

 of a lady's

 the largest pods and kernels of any variety, always yields fewer 

 imperfect pods. The vines make valuable forage for stock.

 far north as Canada. Hundreds of my young friends have

 will pay everyone to" try them. Plant 2 inches deep. 8 inches 

 in the row and keep the ground free from tveeds. When ripe 

 pull or dig up and dry. Pkt. 5c, J^lb. 10c, }^lb. 15c. lb. 25c, 5 lbs. $1.
