RECOMMENDA TIONS 
For a number of years I have 
planted my first house with spawn 
which I purchase from all the reliable 
spawn manufacturers in this country, 
in order to get a line on the quality 
each was producing and to guide me 
in choosing which I should use for 
the bulk of my planting. A propor¬ 
tion of your spawn was planted in 
this house each year and I wish to 
let you know that over a period of 
ten years your spawn brought just 
as good a crop and the mushrooms 
were of just as good quality as the 
spawn of the other manufacturers. 
I would not hesitate to use your 
spawn or to recommend it to my 
friends, in fact, I have already done 
both.

Dear Mr. Swanson: 
We are very glad to learn that 
you will have spawn this year in 
time for the early fall crop. 
For the last few years we have 
been using nothing but your spawn 
with the besf results. With the ex¬ 
ception of last year, as you know, 
we had spawn from three different 
concerns and are very glad to let 
you know that your spawn proved 
to be the most satisfactory. 
Yours very truly,
