Selected Mushroom Spawn. 
Our Improved Spawn produces large crops of thick fleshy Mushrooms. 
CULTIVATION.— In making a Mushroom bed as much fresh horse-manure as will be required to make the bed 12 to 18 inches 
deep should b e thrown into a heap to ferment; turn and mix it well together every three or four days. After it has been turned 
several times, say for a fortnight or three weeks, it will be fit to make the bed. Beat the manure well down to the depth mentioned 
above and allow it to remain a day or two until sufficiently cooled for spawning. When the temperature of the bed is about 65 
break the spawn into pieces about the thickness of a walnut, and place it into the bed 2 inches deep and 9 inches apart, cover 1 
2 inches of P good soilfand again beat down. The Mushrooms should appear m about 5 or 6 weeks after spawning. Shouidthebed 
get very dry (but on no account otherwise) a slight watering with tepid water is beneficial ; when the ‘ Jjegm 1 to 1 ippear 
tepid water mav be given more frequently. Much disappointment often occurs in growing Mushrooms. To prevent this as much 
aspossdde we have made arrangements for a supply of spawn from one of the best makers in the country; we can especially 
recommend it as being of the finest quality procurable, and feel convinced that when once tried no other make will afterwards be used. 
Fresh English-made Spawn 4d. per brick. ; bush. 5s. Trial Packet of 3 Bricks free by Parcel Post for Is. 6d. 
FRENCH MUSHROOM SPAWN . — This imported Spawn is gaining favour on account of the 
excellence of the Mushrooms it produces and its invariable good quality. Many amateurs who fail with 
the ordinary Spawn succeed with this.— Per box 3/. 
We test all our Seeds before sending out- disappointment from defective germination is therefore 
almost impossible.
