MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Culture-Mushrooms may be grown in cellars, under benches of greenhouses or in sheds 
wherever a uniform temperature of 50 degrees can he maintained. The beds should be made 
aepording to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, and it requires about two months for them to 
begin bearing. Secure fresh horse-dung, free from straw and litter, and mix in an equal bulk of 
loam from an old pasture with it. Keep this under cover, taking care to turn it every day to pre- 
vent heating, until the pile is large enough to make a bed of the required size. Three or four feet 
wide, eight inches deep, and any length desired, are the proper proportions for a bed: but these 
may be varied. Prepare the mixture of loam and manure, making the bed in layers, and pound- 
ing down each with the back of the spade. Leave this to heat through for a few days, and as soon 
as the heat subsides to 90 degrees make holes in the bed about a foot apart each way, into which 
put pieces of the spawn two to th.ee inches in diameter; fill up the holes with the compost, and at 
the expiration of a week or ten days the spawn will have thoroughly diffused itself through the 
bed Spread a ayer of fresh soil over the heap to the depth of two inches, and cover with three 
or four inches of hay, straw or litter. Examine the bed often to see that it does not get dry. Take 
special care, however, when water is given, that it be at a temperature of about 100 degrees 
Fuller instructions on the management of this crop will be found in “ Mushroom Culture ” by 
W. Robinson, which will he sent free by mail for fifty cents. Our spawn can be thoroughly de- 
pended on and being specially manufactured for us is fresh and reliable at all times
