TRIANON COS-or ROMAINE—LETTUCE 
Trianon is by far the best of the 
Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These are 
becoming very popular; they have a 
distinct and pleasing flavor. The long, 
spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped 
heads, and are easily blanched by gath¬ 
ering the outer leaves at the top and 
loosely tying them with soft string sev¬ 
eral days before wanted for the table. 
Cos Lettuce may be used to advan¬ 
tage where the heading varieties do not 
succeed, as almost the entire plant is 
tender and palatable. (See cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. }4 lb.,

H !NDERsohrs SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN 
The white, thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom 
Is analogous to the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the 
grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accomplished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be 
made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature 
of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for. 
AMERICAN culture MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn have 
enabled us to offer cultures taken only from selected specimens, 
thus extending the work of selection to this delicious vegetable. 
It is now possible to reproduce Mushrooms showing superiority 
in size, color and shape. The value of such selection is already 
apparent, for we are now able to offer a pure culture spawn that 
will produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size, and of a 
constant creamy-white color. American Pure Culture Spawn is 
sold in flat bricks about lp£ inches thick, weighing about a pound. 
One brick may be broken into nine pieces, which, set 12 inches apart, 
will spawn an area of 9 square feet. Price, 20c. lb., 10 lbs. for $1.75, 
100 lbs. for $14.00. Purchaser paying carriage. 
FRENCH VIRGIN MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Produced by sowing the spores of the best specimens in a laboratory in 
France under scientific conditions which provide immunity from disease

fleshy. The spawn is sold in tablets, four being required to spawn an 
area of nine square feet. Special directions for its use are enclosed 
with every shipment. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100.
