Tho Spawn wo offer is made especially for us three or four times each season, and is 
always fresh and in proper condition for planting. Mushrooms produce a most 
profitable crop when successfully grown, and the American market is tho best 
in tho world for this most delicious of foods. Although “ Mushroom Grow¬ 
ing ” is one of the simplest and most money-making of industries, it is com¬ 
paratively unknown in most localities. We shall be pleased to mail free to 
all purchasers of Spawn our leaflet on “ Mushroom Culture ” if requested.

SPANISH. ITALIAN AND BERMUDA ONION SEED. jf£j 
The Onion thrives best in a rather deep, rich, loamy soil. The ground should be deeply trenched and manured the previous autumn, and laid up in ridges during 
the winter to pulverize. Early in the spring level the ground with a rake and tread it firmly ; sow thinly in drills about a quarter of an inch deep and one foot apart; 
cover witli fine soil and press down with the back of a spado or a light roller. When the young plants arc strong enough, thin three or four inches apart. Keep the 
ground free from weeds by frequent hoeing, taking care not to stir the soil too deeply or to collect it about the growing bulbs.
