PURE CULTURE Bottle Spawn

We offer this brand of Mushroom Spawn because it is 

 now used very successfully by large growers. As its name 

 indicates, this spawn is made in bottles

 spores of other fungi, many of them 

 poisonous, insect eggs, weed 

 seeds and all other extraneous 

 matter is excluded. One car-

 bricks of ordinary spawn and 

 will spawn an area of about 40 

 square feet. We include full

Mustard Spinach 



Sometimes offered as Tendergreen. 

 This new quick growing vegetable is 

 of Japanese origin ready for cutting 

 25 to 30 days from sowing; withstands 

 summer heat and also resistant to cold 

 and insect pests. The leaves are large 

 oblong dark green color, with a small 

 center rib, prepared for the table same 

 as Spinach. A continuous supply may 

 be produced throughout the entire sea- 

 son by successive sowings, because it 

 flourishes during hot weather — when 

 ordinary Spinach will not grow — as 

 well as during the moderate periods. 



This should prove a money maker 

 especially where a local trade or 

 roadside stand will serve as an outlet, 

 as it possesses great food and tonic
