TRIANON COS-or ROMAINE-LETTUCE 



Trianon is by far the best of the 

 Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These are 

 becoming very popular; they have a 

 distinct and pleasing flavor. The long, 

 spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped 

 heads, and are easily blanched by gath- 

 ering the outer leaves at the top and 

 loosely tying them with soft string sev- 

 eral days before wanted for the table. 



Cos Lettuce may be used to advan- 

 tage where the heading varieties do not 

 succeed, as almost the entire plant is 

 tender and palatable. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb., 

 $1.75 lb. 

 EXPRESS, HENDERSON'S. A very 



early Cos Lettuce of dwarf, compact 



growth, heading up without tying. 



The self-folding inner leaves blanch 



beautifully white, crisp and tender. 



It stands hot weather splendidly, and 



is slow in bolting to seed. Price, 10c. 



pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $1.75 lb. 



"/ had fine luck with your Trianon Cos Let- 

 tuce in spite of the bad weather; many weighed 

 2 pounds; solid white. 1 '

 Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb, one is 

 enough for a large family."

H enderscws SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The white, thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom 

 is analogous to the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the 

 grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accomplished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be 

 made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature 

 of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for. 



AMERICAN cuTF&e MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn have 

 enabled us to offer cultures taken only from selected specimens, 

 thus extending the work of selection to this delicious vegetable. 

 It is now possible to reproduce Mushrooms showing superiority 

 in size, color and shape. The value of such selection is already 

 apparent, for we are now able to offer a pure culture spawn that 

 will produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size, and of a 

 constant creamy-white color. American Pure Culture Spawn is 

 sold in flat bricks about V/2 inches thick, weighing about a pound. 

 One brick may be broken into nine pieces, which, set 12 inches apart, 

 will spawn an area of 9 square feet. Price, 20c. lb., 10 lbs. for $1.75, 

 100 lbs. for $14.00. Purchaser paying carriage. 



FRENCH VIRGIN MUSHROOM SPAWN 



Produced by sowing the spores of the best specimens in a laboratory in 

 France under scientific conditions which provide immunity from disease 

 and thus insure greater vigor. We have found it easy to produce 

 Mushrooms from this spawn. They are large, white, and extremely 

 fleshy. The spawn is sold in tablets, four being required to spawn an 

 area of nine square feet. Special directions for its use are enclosed 

 with every shipment. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100.
