With careful attention to 
the details of culture -there is 
probably no crop more easily 
raised than mushrooms; there 
is certainly none that will give 
better returns for the outlay. 
The demand for good mush- 
rooms is practically unlimited, 
and good prices can always be 
realized. When it is considered 
that we are still importing mill- 
ions of pounds of canned mush- 
rooms, and paying high prices 
for same, notwithstanding the 
fact that the canning process 
robs this delicious esculent of 
much of its flavor, it will be 
readily apparent why this mush- 
room growing industry has de- 
veloped so rapidly among the 
florists, truckers and others in 
this country. The increasing in- 
terest that is being taken in the 
mushroom asaprofitable market 
crop has enabled me to greatly 
extend my facilities for the sup- 
ply of reliable spawn, which is 
the foundation foe a successful 
crop ; my trade now extends 
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 
the leading growers all over the 
United States and Canada using 
my brand exclusively.
