MUSHROOMS 
Mushrooms 
Can be easily grown by anyone who has a cellar, or dark room, where 
the temperature can be kept at from 50 to 60 degrees. The soil should 
be a sandy loam, if possible to procure it, but if not, secure the top-soil 
from an old pasture. To every bushel of soil add about two bushels of 
fresh horse manure, thoroughly mixing both; then prepare a bed three 
feet wide, put down a thin layer of the mixture, pack in hard and keep 
on with this method until the bed is about 8 inches thick. When the 
temperature in the bed goes down to about 85 degrees, make holes about 
8 inches apart and put in small pieces of spawn. Cover the holes, press 
the soil lightly; at the end of ten or twelve days cover the bed with fresh 
soil only, and on top of this put 4 or 5 inches of hay or straw. If an 
even temperature is maintained you may expect to gather Mushrooms in 
from six to eight weeks, and the bed will continue to produce for nearly 
a month. 
It comes in pressed bricks weighing about 20 ounces. These are broken 
into pieces the size of a walnut and put into the bed eight inches apart 
each way. One brick 50c. By Express, 5 bricks $1.75. 
MUSTARD 
Fordhook Fancy. (50 days.) This is the finest of all mustard, curled

“Ostrich Plume;” splendid flavor, can be cooked any time of the year 
just like spinach, and by many is considered far superior. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c; *4 lb. 80c.
