QUALITY SEEDS AND BULBS—“THEY COME UP SMILING” 
MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Mushrooms may profitably be grown in cellars, 
under benches of greenhouses, or in sheds, wher¬ 
ever the temperature of 50 degrees can be kept 
up through the winter. Because of the 
high quality of the Spawn now available, 
they may be grown at less risk and at 
more moderate cost than heretofore, tak¬ 
ing this nutritious and delicate food out 
of the luxury class. The beds should be 
made from November to February, accord¬ 
ing to the time the Mushrooms are wanted, 
and it requires about two months for them 
to begin bearing. Ask for cultural 
directions. 
We don’t prepay carrying charges on 
Mushroom Spawn. If wanted shipped by 
parcel post add postage at zone rate.

PARSNIP 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can 
be worked, in rich soil, free from large stones 
and without lumps, in drills 18 inches apart. The 
ground should be well and deeply dug. Thin to 
6 or 8 inches in the row. Hoe and cultivate 
often to keep down weeds. 
8890. Thorburn^s Hollow-Crown. A niarket-gardener*s 
strain. Pkt. 5c., oz. 15c.. lb. $1.50. 
8895. Improved Turnip-rooted or Early Round. Pkt. 5c.. 
oz. 15c., lb. $1.50.

oz. 15c., lb. $1.50. 
8885. Carters Holborn Marrow. A sweet delicate-fleshed 
variety. A truly refined Parsnip. When dug they lift 
from the ground clean, smooth, and well-shaped. It is 
not so large in growth as our Maltese, but its flavor is 
unusually marrow-like and delicate. Our picture very 
inadequately depicts its merits. Pkt. 10c., oz. 25c., lb. $2.50. 
8886. Carters Maltese. A superb giant Parsnip for exhibi¬ 
tion or table use. We hold records of many First Prizes 
having been gained during the past few seasons for this 
fine Parsnip, which was also included in the First and 
Champion Prize Exhibit of Vegetables at Shrewsbury. 
We are confident this highly-selected strain cannot be 
surpassed either for size or flavor. Pkt. 5c., oz. 20c.. 
lb. $2.00.
