MUSHROOM SPAWN 
There is really no mystery about the culture of Mushrooms. Any 
home gardener with a fair understanding of its cultural requirements 
can grow them successfully in any climate, in a variety of locations, 
in any season. Try a brick or two, crumbled fine and broadcast 
under the trees in your back lawn. Keep moist. 
We furnish complete cultural directions with each order. One 
brick is required for 10 square feet.

ONION SEED 
CULTURE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suitable, 
or even a black sandy loam. Muck ground, drained to the depth of 
2 feet, gives large yields. The ground should be heavily dressed with 
well-rotted manure, and plowed a moderate depth, taking a narrow 
furrow; if possible the plowing should be done in the fall. As early 
in the spring as the ground is in working order, harrow it thor¬ 
oughly and make as fine and level as possible; sow thinly in drills 
one-fourth inch deep and 14 inches apart. Do not ridge up to the 
growing bulbs. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 4 to 5 pounds 
per acre for large onions ; 50 to 60 pounds for sets.
