DREER'S RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN 



The idea that good Mushrooms can only be pro- 

 duced in houses which have been specially built for 

 the purpose, is wrong. They can be grown in almost 

 any building, cellar or shed, which can be darkened, 

 provided care is taken when preparing the bed, and 

 directions, given in our free circular, closely fol- 

 lowed.
