For home use fresh Mushrooms are a delicious, 
highly nutritious and wholesome delicacy; 
and for market they are less bulky than eggs, 
and. when properly handled, no crop is more re¬ 
munerative. Any one who has an ordinary house 
cellar, woodshed or barn can grow Mushrooms. This 
is the most practical work on the subject ever 
written, and the only hook on growing Mush¬ 
rooms ever published in America. 
The whole subject is treated in detail, minutely 
and plainly, as only a practical man. actively en¬ 
gaged in Mushroom grow ing can handle it. 
The author describes how he himself grows 
Mushrooms, also how they are grown for profit 
by the leading market gardeners, and for home 
use bv the most successful private growers. 
The book is amply and pointedly illustrated, with 
engravings drawn from nature expressly for this 
work. 
Is nicely printed and hound in cloth.
