A & M Mushrooms 
Mushrooms can be grown in any dark room or cellar where 
the temperature can be kept at 50 to 75 degrees. The main 
conditions in mushroom growing are proper and uniform tem¬ 
perature, and very rich soil. No practical substitute has been 
found for cured or composted horse manure in the cultivation 
of mushrooms. One pound (or one brick) of spawn is suffi¬ 
cient for a bed 2x8 feet. We have the best spawn obtainable. 
Pure Culture Spawn. Put up in bricks. (Per brick 40c) (5 
bricks $1.75) postpaid.

A & M Early Greenpod 
One of the earliest and most dwarf 
growing sorts. The plants are from 2^/^ 
to 3 feet in height, producing pods very 
close to the ground and very thick on the 
stalk. It is common to find thirty to 
forty pods on a stalk 3 feet high. The 
pods are deep green in color, short, cor¬ 
rugated and fluted. This variety matures 
very early, and with the good shipping 
qualities which it has, it is the favorite 
variety among truckers. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 
15c) (!A lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00) postpaid. 
A strong growing 
variety, the usual 
height being about 4 feet. The pods are 
much smaller in diameter than other va¬ 
rieties. They are almost white, long and 
smooth, and free from ridges. The fact 
that it is free from ridges prevents it to 
a great extent from being bruised when 
being handled and therefore makes it a 
good sort for shipping. It is used exten¬ 
sively by canners. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c)

imr pods ten to twelve inches in length. The pods are dark 
green and corrugated. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) ('A lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00)

Ij. The seed usually takes, 3 to 4 weeks to germinate 
culture and it is best to soak it in water about 12 hours 
before planting. Sow in drills a foot apart and thin plant to 
4 inches. One of the secrets of germinating Parsley seed is to 
thoroughly firm the soil after sowing. A. light mulch will help to 
retain moisture and facilitate watering without crusting the 
ground.

parsley is grown in Southern California for the local market 
and for shipping to outside territory. A small plot of this in

around. (Pkt. 5c) (oz. 15c) ('A lb. 35c) (lb. $1.00) postpaid. 
Plain or Smooth-leaved parsley flavor than ' the 
curled varieties and should be preferred for the home garden.

that the curled variety will produce much more per acre.
