RELIABLE MUSHROOM SPAWN 
The culture of mushrooms is increasing enor¬ 
mously. They used to be considered a luxury, 
but now all restaurants and hotels have them 
daily on their menus, and they are very largely 
required in household use. They can be grown 
successfully in cellars, in barns and stables, or 
other buildings that perhaps are standing idle. 
They are the most profitable crop for the outlay 
that can be grown. We send practical working
