Mushrooms. How to Grow Them. 



For home use fresh Mushrooms are a delicious, highly nutritious and 

 wholesome delicacy; and for market they are lees bulky than eggs, 

 and, when properly handled, no crop is more remunerative. Anyone 

 who has an ordinary house cellar, woodshed, or barn can grow Mush- 

 rooms. This is the most practical work on the subject ever written, 

 and the only book on growing Mushrooms ever published in America. 

 The whole subject is treated in detail, minutely and plainly, as only a 

 practical man, actively engaged in Mushroom growing, can handle it. 

 The author describes bow he himself grows Mushrooms, and how they 

 are grown for profit by the leading market gardeners, and for home 

 use by the most successful private growers. The book is amply and 

 pointedly illustrated, with engravings drawn from nature expressly 

 for this work. By Wm. Falconer. Is nicely printed and bound in 

 cloth. Price, post-paid 1.50
