Watson’s English Mushroom Spawn 
The <^p> Brand. 
As is well known, good spawn is one of tlie chief foundation stones in success- 
ful mushroom culture and should receive the first attention. Much bet'er spawn 
can be got to-day than twelve years ago, when the Watson Brand was first put on 
the market, but this improvement has been brought about largely through the 
educative influence and the liberal advertising given to a superior article. Although 
spawn closely approaching the Watson in quality can be got from one or two sources 
to-day, it is still true that none of them are equal in two important respects: (i) 
yield and (2) earliness. The Watson has been tried again and again alongside the 
most highly lauded, and has proved the heaviest cropper, and the earliest to come 
into bearing. Another reform in which the Watson Brand was the pioneer is the 
cost of spawn. Absurdly high prices were the rule until a more reasonable and 
equitable figure was forced on the most conservative by the example of a first-class 
brand being sold at a fair price. Notwithstanding the keen competition of to-day, 
the Watson Brand figures are as low as any reliable stock can be bought for while 
the quality is of the same high standard as heretofore. This being granted, it follows 
that mushroom growers should procure their spawn from the pioneer in “a good 
article at a fair price ” and take no chances with importers of less experience.
