Pure Spore Culture Spawn 
This Spawn is made in quart milk bottles under absolutely sterile 
conditions. The bottle and materials are sterilized under steam pressure, 
so that every mold, weed seed, or insect is destroyed and each bottle 
contains nothing but the pure spawn; each jar contains enough for 30 
to 40 square feet. The sterile spawn is dried thoroughly and each piece 
wrapped in tissue paper, with full instructions. 
If wanted by Parcel Post, allow 10c. per carton for postage
