our customers. Ours is pure culture spawn grown by one of the largest mushroom producers. 
BOTTLE SPAWN. (White). Grown in bottles under sterile conditions after which the bot¬ 
tle is removed and the spawn packed in a carton. One carton will spawn 40 sq. ft. of bed. 
Price: Single Carton $1.25; 3 cartons $3.00. Prepaid. Not prepaid: 10 or more cartons at 80c 
per carton. Weight per carton about 1 lb. Write for prices on larger quantities.

green with beautiful green finely curled edges.
