BODDINGTON'S PURE CULTURE 

 MUSHROOM SPAWN 



PRODUCES MUSHROOMS IN FOUR WEEKS SUPERIOR AS TO QUALITY AND SIZE, AND MORE SURELY THAN ANY 



OTHER SPAWN 



Pure Culture Mnshroom Spawn. The "new idea" is no longer in tlie experimental stage. The largest growers of Mushrooms 

 use the Pure Culture Spawn. 



Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn is propagated by a scientific process direct from varieties selected for size and prolific bearing. 

 By this new process, the chances of tlie spawn becoming " dead " and the crop a failure are largely eliminated. 



In Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn the idea of 

 improvement has been carried out, as in the improve- 

 Tient of all the vegetable kingdom, with regard to 

 ;ropping and fitness for all purposes. 



Price of Boddington's Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn, 

 per. brick 30 cts., by mail, 45 cts.; by express, 6 

 bricks $1.20; 10 bricks $2, 25 bricks $4.25, 60 

 bricks $7.50. 



Get out of the ruts! It doesn't cost a cent 

 more to grow good Mushrooms from good 

 spawn. It does make much difference in the 

 returns. 



You should not be co'ntent with less than 

 one pound of Mushrooms per square foot of 

 bed. Some people get two with our Pure 

 Culture Mushroom Spawn.
