PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



THIS IS THE TIME TO START 



Henderson's Superior Mushroom Spawn. 



Mushrooms produce a most profitable crop, when successfully grown, and the 

 American market is the best in the world for this most delicious of foods 

 Although "Mushroom Growing" is one of the simplest and most money making 

 of industries, it is comparatively unknown in most localities. We shall be pleased 

 to mail free to all purchasers of Spawn our leaflet on "Mushroom Culture" if 

 requested. 



The Spawn we offer is made specially for us three or four times each season, 

 and is always fresh and in proper condition for planting. 



English. 10c, lb ; $8.00 per 100 lbs. (If by mail, add 8c. per lb. for postage.) 



French. The French is in much more concentrated form than the English and 

 should be given a trial by those who may not have used it, as nowhere do they grow 

 finer mushrooms than in France. In boxes of 2 lbs. 70c; 10 lbs. for $2.50. (If by 

 mail, add 8c. per lb. to pay postage.)
