MUSHROOM 
LEEK 
HOW TO GROW —Sow early In 
spring and summer and afterwards 
transplant In rows 121n. or 151n. 
apart Into deep soil, which cannot 
be too highly manured. It is a good 
plan to plant them In a trench like 
celery; they can then be more easily 
watered and blanched. Keep watered 
during dry weather; if with liquid 
manure, so much the better. When 
the plants have attained a good size, 
draw the soil about them to blanch 
stems. A packet will sow two square 
yards. 
MUSSELBURGH —The finest strain 
of Leek In cultivation. The long, 
thick, pure white stems have a 
most attractive appearance. 6d. 
per pkt., 1/6 per loz., 4/9 per 
ilb., 3d. small pkt., post free. 
SPAWN 
Musselburgh Leek has a fine 
flavour and is easily grown 
anywhere. 
MUSHROOMS ALL THE YEAR ROUND 
Mushrooms are properly considered a table delicacy rather than a substantial food. As an industry, Mushroom 
culture is rapidly growing in popularity. The growing of Mushrooms can be carried on at small expense in cellars, 
under greenhouse benches, in caves, old mines, or, in fact, old buildings where it is possible to maintain a tem¬ 
perature of from 50deg. to 55deg. Fahr. Obtain a supply of fresh stable manure for the making of suitable beds, 
and follow culture instructions sent with order. We will supply free on application full directions for the suc¬ 
cessful growing of this crop.

ARE YOU GETTING THE MAXIMUM RESULTS 
FROM YOUR GARDEN? 
You spend much time and money on labour and seed. Do not over¬ 
look the fact that good, crisp Vegetables and beautiful Flowers are 
only produced by proper feeding. We recommend that you always 
have on hand for use throughout the year:— 
A.Y. GARDEN MANURE. —A complete fertiliser for general Vege¬ 
table and Flower Garden use. 
HESKETT SLAG. —To sow with Peas and Bean Crops. They need 
nothing else. 
YATES’ PLANTONIC. —For general Vegetable and Flower growing. 
Plantonic is a very concentrated garden manure, being cheaper 
per unit for manure than any; it consequently must not be used 
too liberally. 
BURNT SHELL LIME. —For killing slugs and sweetening the soil. 
Do not buy a little at a time; it is too expensive. Buy a year’s 
supply at once, as it will keep indefinitely if kept out of the wet.

Mustard and 
Cress 
HOW TO GROW —The Common or 
White Mustard is much used for 
salads, and is generally used with 
Cress. Out of doors, any cool, moist 
place is suitable for sowings, which 
should be made at regular intervals 
during spring and summer, ir intended 
to be used with Cress, it should be 
planted seven days after the Cress. 
White Mustard —Tender, and a piquant 
flavour for early salads. 6d. per pkt., 
1/3 per Jib., 3/- per lib., 3d. small 
pkt., post free.

HrNT re EARLY PLANTING OF VINE CROPS 
When planting for early crops of all Vine seeds such as Pumpkins, Melons, Squash, etc., experienced growers 
always put the seed with the point downwards. Doing this toads to stop the seed rotting through moisture 
gaining entrance, and moreover, the shell of the seed remains longer on the first two leaves and so helps to 
protect them from adverse conditions.
