MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Mushrooms can be grown in cellars, sheds, under benches in greenhouses, or in hot¬ 
beds. They are also planted outside in pasture or sod. It is a very profitable crop both 
for forcing or a field crop. Our cultural instructions are somewhat limited but we can 
furnish a booklet of more extended information on “Success with Mushrooms.’’ Price, 
25c. 
One brick will spawn about 10 feet square. 
Culture. In preparing a Mushroom bed, take three parts of fresh stable manure, 
free from straw, and one part of good pasture soil. Mix thoroughly together and let it 
stand until the heat has sunk to about 90 degrees. Make the bed from this mixture 
about 4 feet wide, 8 inches deep and any desired length. As soon as the temperature 
of the bed is about 70 or 80 degrees, the Spawn may be inserted in pieces about the 
size of a walnut, and 6 inches apart each way. When the Spawn is diffused through 
the whole bed, which will be in about 10 days from planting, cover with 2 inches of 
fine loam and press down firmly. Over this place a layer of straw about 
4 inches thick. Do not water unless the surface gets extremely dry, and 
then only with water at a temperature of 80 degrees. When gathering 
the crop, twist them off at the roots and do not use a knife. Cover the 
hole with soil to keep insects away from the root.

PLANT A SUCCESSION GARDEN 
An astonishing amount of vegetables can be grown on a small plot of ground by planting succession crops and by intercropping. Such 
vegetables as Radish, Leaf Lettuce, Green Onions and Spinach can be planted between Beans, Peas, Tomatoes and Corn, which require 
much wider rows. Make several plantings of Beans and Peas to have a fresh table supply all season. Any surplus may be canned for winter 
use. Follow the early crops with vegetables for fall and winter use such as Spinach, Kohl-rabi, Turnips, Kale, etc. Have fresh healthful 
vegetables on your table throughout the entire growing season.
