VIRGIN MUSHROOM SPAWN 
The merits of this par¬ 
ticular 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 concluded 
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 
Please send me at once 50 bushels of 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 beside yourself, but yours 
was 50 per cent, better than the best of the others. I. Duck. 
The English Mushroom 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.

FERTILIZERS 
“Three-Leg” Brand 
Pulverized and prepared by 
special process by which the 
ammonia is retained and all 
weed seeds killed, making it 
specially useful either for flo¬ 
rists’ use or top dressing. 
During the months of October and 
November the sheep are brought in 
from Dakota and Montana and col¬ 
lected in covered barns and fattened 
prior to killing. They are fed upon 
screenings from the grain elevators of 
the Northwest. The droppings are 
taken to a drying plant and exposed 
to a moist heat at of 350 degrees, long 
enough to kill the germ of any seeds 
which they may contain, and afterward dried and passed through a 
20-mesh sieve, which insures a uniform product. 
The article in commerce usually sold elsewhere is ordinarily dried 
by exposure to the sun and air and allowed to ferment, by which latter 
process its fertilizing qualities are lost. By the method used in pre¬ 
paring the manure we send out, the ammonia is retained, making it of 
greater value. 
The grain upon which the sheep are fed is rich in nitrogen, and 
therefore the product we sell has a larger value than what has heretofore 
been sold under the same name.
