HENDEKSON'S LARGE RED WETHERSFItLD 



is a grand red variety and a general favorite. With the 

 exception of the Yellow Globe Danvers, there is no 

 variety so largely grown. Our stock is excellent, being 

 saved from only carefully selected bulbs. The cut 

 gives an accurate idea of the shape. Our stock will be 

 found quite free from necky and misshapen bulbs, and 

 will invariably grow to a large size under proper con- 

 ditions. The surface color is a rich dark red; the flesh 

 sparkling white. It is an early variety to mature 

 and a fine keeper. The flavor is good and mild, 

 admirable for boiling. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.20 lb. 



" 7 like your stock of Large Red Wetkersfield Onion belter 

 than any other. I feel confident when I plant, as I know it will 

 always produce a good safe crop."

HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR ENGLISH MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Mushrooms may be grown by any one having a supply of fresh 

 horse manure and a tight shed or cellar, or under a greenhouse 

 bench where a temperature of 50 or 60 degrees can be evenly 

 maintained. They make a most profitable crop when successfully 

 grown, and the American market is the best in the world for this 

 most delicious of foods. Frequent importations of our Superior 

 English Spawn insure freshness and active mycelium. It is sold in 

 bricks weighing about Ij lbs.; enough to plant a bed about 9 

 square feet. Price, 10c. lb., 50 lbs. $4.00, 100 lbs. $7.50.

Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn 

 enable pure culture to be taken direct from selected specimens 

 of specific varieties, insuring a greater yield of more uniform and 

 marketable product than spawn " run " from hit-and-miss, large, 

 small, unevenly shaped and colored varieties of mushrooms. 



It is sold in bricks measuring about 81x5^x11 inches. Each 

 brick weighs from 1 to IJ lbs., sufficient to spawn an area of 9 

 square feet. Price, per lb., 18c., 8 lbs. for $1.15, per 100 lbs., $12.50.
