German — Wasser-Melone. French — Melon d'Eau 
CULTURE — These require a rich, but 
rather sandy soil for the best results, and 
give the largest returns in warm latitudes, 
although of late years they are being ex- 
tensively grown in the middle and north- 
ern states for home markets. Give the 
same care as musk melons, but have the 
hills at least double the distance apart.

Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn. ™|<i'ly ""an 
entirely new process, and is far more productive than 
the English and French Spawn. By a scientific selec- 
tion of large mushrooms for propagating purposes a 
new type has been developed possessing the following 
points of merit: The mushrooms are much larger; 
their skin is tougher; their flavor Is finer; tbey are 
more productive and come to maturity earlier. The 
spawn usually sold has been -prepared tor 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 instruc- 
tions are followed. Our leaflet on Mushroom Culture 
will be mailed free on request. This spawn comes In 
bricks weighing 18 to 20 ounces each. Price per brick 
2.'5c, 5 bricks ?1.00, 10 bricks, $1.7S, by express or 
freight. If wanted by mail, add 20c per brick to cover 
postage. Prices on larger lots quoted on application.
