Hera Is an Easy Method 
of Growing Mushrooms 
One of our customers gives the following directions 
for growing M'ushrooms in the lawn: 
“Have ready some fresh horse manure, and place a 
trowel full under the sod a,t intervals about the lawn. 
S'pread a teaspoonful of spawn on the manure, and re¬ 
place the sod. Do this in early spring. After the warm 
spring rains, the Mushrooms will appear. The size of 
the crop will be dependent entirely upon the weather. 
It is important that the spawn be planted previous to 
the early warm rains, as Mushrooms cannot be grown 
in this manner during the summer.’’ 
The above is not the method recommended by us, but 
it is worth trying. Weather conditions in America are 
usually unfavorable to out-of-door growing of Mushrooms, 
so success is not certain when the above method is fol¬ 
lowed, but the method is so easy and inexpensive, one 
can feel well repaid if but meager results are obtained. 
Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn 
We are this year, for the first time, offering the famous 
New Process Pure Culture Spawn. It has numerous 
points of superiority over the old manure spawn process. 
By this new method chopped tobacco stems are used as 
a base. These stems are mixed with a special humus, 
sterilized, and inoculated the same as manure spawn. 
This medium contains more desirable food elements for 
the growth of spawn, is more vigorous, more resistant 
to adverse conditions, and more repellent to insects than 
other types of spawn. It is without doubt the most 
dependable spawn produced. If you have not succeeded 
with other brands of Mushroom Spawn, give our New 
Process Pure Culture Spawn a trial. 
Plain instructions for growing Mushrooms by the latest 
and most successful method will be given with each 
order. Each package of our spawn will plant 12% square 
feet of bed. Package, 50c; 3 packages, $1.25; 12 pack¬ 
ages, $4.00, postpaid.
