Ten pounds will spawn about roleet sct^iare. Mushrooms can be grown fin any dark room or 
cellar where the temperature can be kept at from 50 to 70 degree. From som'a old pasture procure 
good, rich soil, and to every bushel of this soil add 2 bushels of fresh hors^e manure. Of this 
well-mixed compound prepare a bed, say, 4 feet wide. Put down a thin layer and pound it down 
hard, and go on until you have a bed 12 or iS inches thick. As soon as the teknperature of th' 
bed falls from 75 to 50 degrees, the spawn may be inserted 
in pieces about the size of a walnut, about 2 inches deep 
and 0inches apart. Ccwer with loamy soil about 2 inches 
deep and beat it down evenly and firmly. Finish off with 西浮松茸 
a covering of clean ha】, r ，about a foot truck, and the work is done. If the tem¬ 
perature is right, in 6 or 8 weeks you may expect mushrooms. The beds will 
continue bearing from 20 to 30 days. After the first crop is gathered spread over 
the bed an inch of flesh soil, moisten with warm water, and cover with hay as 
before. The main conditions in mushroom growing are proper and uniform tem¬ 
perature and very rich soil.

CHINESE BUTTER HEAN GOURD—One of the Chinese Curiosity and is 
a member of the edible gotard family and in growth is similar to the squash, and 
can be grown in the same manner or can be trellised up.. It is wonderfully 
prolific, considerably more productive than squash and much easier to grow. The 
vines are always free from disease and insect pests, and really stand more neglect 
and abuse than any other vegetable vine we know of. 
Fruit grow to four, five feet long and 4-5 inches in diameter, which combines 
the flavor of the delicious irnarrow w^th the finest French beans. To serve, take 
fresh from the vine, a young gourd bean about 15 inches long or smaller, while 
the fuzzy growth is yet on. Cut into cubes about an inch, bring to a boil, pour 
off the water twice. Season well with salt and pepper and butter. You will be 
surprised how it is. Extremely economical. Culture is same as for cucumbers or 
squashes. (Pkt. 10c.) (Oz. 25c.) ( 54 lb. 80c.) (lb. $2.50) Postpaid. Imported Seed.

LUFF A (Chinese Dish-cloth Gourd) 一 This 
wonderful gourd from China, known as SHI- 
QUA or Chinese Okra. 
It grows on a vine somewhat similar to a water¬ 
melon vine. It may be trained to grow on a trellis 
from which the fruit will hang like a gourd. The 
fruit may be cooked and served in every way that 
Okra is served. It should be peeled before cook¬ 
ing. If you are fond of Okra, be sure to plant 
some of this in your garden. Plant about May 1st 
about the same as cucumbers. 
Many women prefer a dishcloth made of this 
gourd to anything else, as it is always sweet and 
clean as long as any part of it is left. Culture is 
same as for cucumber and melon. (Pkt. 10c.) (Oz.
