Mushroom growing is simple but exact, and with the proper care heavy 
t i i ke money 
and ptofitable yields are obtained. Many of our customers ma 
by growing them for restaurants, hotels, stores, or private trade. They 
can be grown in cellars, sheds, under greenhouse benches, small 
caves, etc. Mushrooms produce no seed, but instead a white, 
fibrous substance called spawn, which we furnish in bricks or 
bottle-shaped cartons. Our stock is always fresh, pure culture, 
and selected with the utmost care to insure a crop of pure white 
' mushrooms of perfect uniformity for color, size, 
and shape. Fresh horse manure, unvaried tem- 
perature, and controlled moisture are the chief 
essentials for success.
