"Snow Bouml" — considered the best of all. A very 
large, oblong-shaped melon, often weighing 40 to 50 pounds each. Skin 
gray or a light green color, flesh deep red, tender and sweet. It is a fine home 
melon and a splendid shipping variety. Pkt. 10c.,oz.l5c., % lb. 35c., lb. $1.00.

nor approached it in productiveness. Melons weighing from 75 to 90 pounds 
arc frequent. Color, rich, dark green, almo.st black. Symmetrical in shape, 
roundish to oval. Pkt. Sc., oz. lOc., M lb. 20c., lb. 50c.

MUSHROOMS. 
Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn. L'l^„t?i7ntwt*S^ 
cess, and is far more productive than the English and Frencli Spawn, By 
a scientific selection of large mu.shrooms for propagating purposes a new 
type has been developed, possessing the following pcjints of merit: The 
mushrooms arc much larger; their skin is tougher; their flavor is finer; 
they are more productive and come to maturity earlier. The spawn usually 
sold has been prepared for months, much of its vitality being spent before 
it is planted. This spawn, however, is fresh made in this city, and is sent 
out under our guarantee to grow if cultural instructions are followed. This 
spawn comes in bricks weighing 18 to 20 ounces each. Price per brick 25c., 
5 bricks $1.10, 10 bricks $1.75, by expro ^ or freight. If wanted by mail 
add 20 cents per brick to cover postage. I rices on larger lots quoted on ap- 
plication. 
Our new booklet on MUSHROOM QROWINQ will be sent free to 
customers on request. Do not fail to ask for it.
