PARSLEY 
Mushroom Spawn 
Contrary to a rather common belief, there is nothing 
mysterious in the cultivation of the mushroom. Any one 
with a fair understanding of its cultural requirements 
can grow this highly prized fungus successfully in any 
climate and in any season. Mushrooms can be grown in 
cellars, in well-built sheds, in hotbeds, and sometimes in 
the open air, the chief essentials being uniform degrees of 
temperatures and moisture. The necessary cultural direc¬ 
tions are published in pamphlet form, a copy of which 
we shall be pleased to send on request. 
Mushrooms 
Pure Culture Spawn. Bricks weigh about 1% pounds each 
and will spawn about 8 to 10 square feet. 1 brick, 35c; 
6 bricks, $1.50, postpaid. 10 bricks, $2.25; 25 bricks, 
$5.00, not postpaid. 
Bottle Spawn. Sufficient spawn for 40 square feet. $1.00

Mustard 
Culture: The leaves are used as a salad or may be boiled 
like spinach. Sow seed very shallow in any good garden 
soil early in the spring, in rows 1% to 2 feet apart, and 
when well up thin out the plants so as to stand 8 to 10 
inches apart. Several sowings a week or so apart give 
tender leaves throughout the season.

Fordhook Fancy or Ostrich Plume. A handsome, upright¬ 
growing, mild variety, slow to bolt seed stalks; leaves 
bright green, plumelike and deeply fringed on the edges; 
excellent for salads; seed reddish brown. Pkt., 5c; oz.,

Long Standing Southern Giant Curled. Bolting to seed is 
one of the disadvantages of growing mustard in warm 
weather. This variety has been bred to remain in the 
field a longer time without bolting to seed and with 
this improvement it is not different than the regular 
Southern Curled excepting it is slower to go to seed.
