Virgin Mushroom Spawn 
House of Mushrooms Grown from Our Virgin Spawn 
The merits of this particular make of Mushroom Spawn have only recently come to our attention, and we were so impressed 
by the many substantial and unsolicited testimonials from large and practical growers of mushrooms for market, that we con¬ 
cluded to bring it before the notice of our customers. 
Every brick is made from Virgin Spawn, which produces quick and heavy crops, and lasts long in bearing.

A Few of the Testimonials 
The English Mushroon Spawn which I purchased from you this winter 
has given most excellent results. The mushrooms are of a superior quality, 
and the spawn quick to develop. Every bed planted with your spawn 
came up thick with mushrooms. The same cannot be said of other beds.

Please send me at once 50 bushels 01 good spawn, send best you have. 
The other 50 was very satisfactory. T. W. Cudmore. 
Will you kindly forward me 20 bushels of Mushroom Spawn as early as 
convenient. I am glad to say that what I had from you last year turned 
out first-rate. I had spawn from three other makers besides yourself, but 
yours was 50 per cent, better than the best of the others.

PURE CULTURE MUSHROOM SPAWN 
HOT-BED MATS 
Is made from the largest and best mushrooms that can be depended upon to produce the maximum yield. 
The best English spawn is made from virgin spawn collected in places where Nature produces it accidentally; it is simply wild 
spawn, and the bricks made from such virgin spawn have been considered the best in the market. 
PURE CULTURE SPAWN is made from virgin spawn, which is produced by scientific methods directly from carefully selected mush¬ 
rooms; in makiiig such selections the size of the mushroom, the thickness in flesh and its pro¬ 
lific qualities are all taken into consideration. Such methods of improving crops by careful 
selection of the seeds are remarkable in their results.
