 veining of very dark green; rind very tough; flesh bright deep red, crisp and sweet; 

 seeds vary in color from brown to almost white.

 good quality. Seeds small, brownish-black to black. When properly stored will keep 

 for several weeks. 



WONDER (Improved Kleckley's Sweet) 85

 it unsuitable for long distance shipping. Large, dark green oblong fruits, often 22 

 inches long. Flesh rich red, sweet, and fine textured. Seeds white. 



MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Mushrooms are propagated by means of microscopic "spores" which correspond to the 

 seeds of flowering plants. 

 PURE CULTURE SPAWN 



Our spawn is produced from the original spore cultures under the new French 



process, permitting the indefinite reproduction of the variety selected. We use 



stock of the white variety which is generally preferred. 

 BRICK SPAWN 



Bricks weigh about IV^ lbs. This is sufficient to spawn about 10 square feet. 

 BOTTLE SPAWN 



Sufficient to spawn 40 square feet.
