MUSHROOM SPAWN 
(Ger.) Essbare Blaetterschwamme 
Mushroom beds may be prepared in a warm cellar or 
shed in Winter, or in the open air in Summer. Collect daily 
the fresh horse manure from the stable and lay it in a heap to 
ferment, turn and mix it well once a week and when well 
and equally fermented, which will be in about three 
weeks, it will then be ready for the beds. The beds should 
be about four feet wide and any length required for a 
supply. Place the prepared dung two feet deep on the 
beds, mix thoroughly with the earth and beat or press it 
firm y down with the back of the spade, in this state it 
should remain until the temperature has become sufficiently 
mild, which may be ascertained by thrusting a stick into the 
different portions of the bed. Pieces of the spawn of the 
size of a walnut should then be inserted about two inches 
deep and six inches apart, cover with loamy soil two 
inches deep and press down evenly and firmly.

ONIONS 
(Ger.) Zwiebel (It.) Cipollo 
The Onion should have a clean loamy and very rich soil. 
The use of well-rotted compost is very beneficial, and 
Onions will do well if sown on the same piece of land fora 
succession of years. Sow seed as early as possible in drills 
fourteen inches apart and half an inch deep. As Onions 
grow on top of the ground they may be allowed to remain 
pretty thick, no matter if they crowd each other. In hoeing, 
which should be frequently done, do not cover the young 
bulbs with earth. One ounce of seed will sow a bed 5 by 
20 feet.

colored Onion, mild flavored and yields abundantly.

Large Spanish Onion (Sweet Valencia) —By far the best

yield of 993 bushels per acre and in 1932 with a yield 
from one plot of 1,030 bushels per acre and another 
plot of 1,004 bushels per acre. The principal advantages 
of this Onion are its size, wonderful keeping qualities, 
a fine dry skin, its very mild flavor and its resistance to 
thrip and aphids. This Onion always brings a much 
higher price than any other Onion. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c,
