MUSHROOM SPAWN 
The propagation of Mushroom Spawn under absolutely sterile ■ 
conditions, in one-quart milk-bottles, guarantees it to be lOO per 
cent pure, full run, no waste material at all, every particle can be 
used, no insect eggs, no flies, no weed seeds, no moulds of any 
kind or infection that the Brick Spawn is subject to. It is almost 
certain to produce a large crop, when the beds are properly pre¬ 
pared, and the cost is no greater than the old Brick Spawn per 
square foot of surface planted. Transportation is much less 
because the Spawn is lighter in weight. 
This is furnished in three varieties. Pure White, Cream, and 
Light Brown, at the following prices. One quart is enough for 
30 to 40 square feet. 
1 -quart size. $1 10 12 -quart. $11 00 
6 -quart. 6 00 
This Spawn is dried thoroughly and shipped in cartons. It 
will keep in perfectly healthy condition for twelve months. 
American Pure-Culture Spawn 
Ten pounds will spawn 10 feet square 
This type produces larger Mushrooms than the English, com¬ 
ing into bearing somewhat earlier, and continuing to crop for a 
long time. This spawn is produced by selecting spores from in¬ 
dividual specimen Mushrooms, and is propagated and transferred 
to the bricks of manure, which, when planted, produce Mush¬ 
rooms all of one type.

latter in drills 2 }^ feet apart and ipi inches deep. Allow 9 inches 
between one “nut” and the next in the row.
