 cellent results, producing large crops of tine Mushrooms. It 

 is made with great care and is full of live "mycelium." It 

 is this that produces the Mushooms. It is made in bricks, of 

 about 1 ' lb. , and each brick is sufficient for 8 square feet of 

 bed. Per brick, 15 cts. (by mail, 25 cts. ); by express, 12 

 bricks, $1.50; 25 lbs., $2.50; 50 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $8.00- 

 Pure Culture Spawn. This is an American make of spawn, 

 the method having been discovered by a scientist in 1903. It 

 produces Mushrooms of excellent quality and large size, this 

 being due to the fact that the spawn is obtained by a process 

 of "grafting, " only large and vigorous specimens oi Mush- 

 rooms being used for this purpose. Per brick, 25 cts. ( by 

 mail, 40 cts.); by express, 5 bricks, $1.00; 10 bricks, $1.70;
