MUSHROOMS 
A table delicacy you can easily grow. 
Mushrooms are not hard 
to grow. With our Mush¬ 
room Spawn and directions 
we furnish, anyone can 
.grow them in the average 
cellar. The ash or coal 
bin can be used for this 
purpose in the summer. 
The most important essen¬ 
tial is good, fresh spawn. 
Our spawn is absolutely 
fresh and it will keep in 
good condition for a year. 
We handle the Lampert's 
Pure Culture Spawn which 
is the finest to be had. We 
offer this in two colors: 
white and cream, in brick form. One brick will plant 8 
to 10 feet of space. Complete cultural instructions with 
each order. 1 brick, 35c; 3 bricks, $1.00, postpaid. Not 
postpaid, 5 bricks, $1.25; 10 bricks, $2.25; 25 bricks, 
$5.00. 
INTEGRITY OF SEEDSMEN 
Perhaps no other business is built and maintained on 
character and confidence to the extent that the seed 
business is. In no other business, probably, is the 
purchaser so dependent on the knowledge and integrity 
of the seller. It is impossible for anyone to tell by 
looking at it, whether or not a certain seed will grow 
or if it does grow, whether it will produce the kind of 
crop desired. 
Buying seed then is largely a matter of confidence. 
We are much gratified by the knowledge that our cus¬ 
tomers realize this and that they know they can de¬ 
pend on us. AS A RESULT OF THIS CONFIDENCE, 
MANY NEW FRIENDS ARE ADDED TO OUR LIST 
EACH SEASON AND THEIR ORDERS SENT US 
SOLELY BECAUSE SOME FRIEND HAS RECOM¬ 
MENDED US TO THEM. WE APPRECIATE THIS 
AND THANK THEM.
