10 Reliable Garden Seed 
The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
Mushroom Spawn 
Mushroon^ are considered a great delicacy by everyone and 
are always in much demand at fancy prices. Many are devot¬ 
ing their spare time to mushroom culture and are getting 
big returns for their labor. Nearly everyone has some unused 
place that might be ^voted to mushroom growing. Contrary 
to general belief, it is not necessary to have especially pre¬ 
pared equipment for this purpose, but advantage may be taken 
of locations already existent. They can be grown in dark 
rooms, caves, cellars or under greenhouse benches, where the 
temperature can be maintained at from 60 to 60 degrees. 
The furnace room and basement service rooms are obviously 
unsuitable; not only because of heat and dryness, but the odor 
from the manure which is necessary in the compost for a 
planting bed would be objectionable in the house. The space 
beneath a well shut-in porch, however, is excellent; and the 
obsolete wood shed (with dirt bottom) can be utilized in old 
houses. For just the normal fall picking, profitable beds may 
easily be operated in segregated sections of the back yard In 
latitudes where winters are mild, this outdoor culture can be 
carried on successively throughout the winter months. 
We furnish complete cultural directions with each order. 
One brick is required for 10 square feet.

ONION SEED 
ClTljTTTSF. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most 
suitable, or even a black sandy loam. Muck beds well drained 
to the depth of 2 feet give large yields. The ground should be 
heavily dressed with well-rotted manure, and plowed a mod¬ 
erate depth taking a narrow furrow in order to more thor¬ 
oughly mix the manure with the soil; if possible the plowing 
should be done in the fall. As early in the spring as the ground 
is in working order harrow it thoroughly and make as fine and 
level as possible; sow thinly in drills one-fourth inch deep 
and 14 inches apart. Keep the surface of the ground open and 
free from weeds but do not ridge up to the growing bulbs. 
One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds per acre 
for large onions, 60 to 60 pounds for sets.
