MUSHROOMS 
9982 Pure Culture Tobacco Stem Spawn 
Crumbled Tobacco Stem Spawn is the latest scientific development in 
the production of Pure Culture Mushroom Spawn. The material is easier 
to handle, the growth is more vigorous, and results are more certain as 
more particles of the dried spawn come in contact with the manure. 
Adverse growing conditions are more readily overcome, as the tobacco 
stem medium is high in food elements needed by the growing Mushroom, 
resulting in stronger and more rapid growth. If you have had indifferent 
success with Mushrooms, try this improved form of spawn. One package 
will plant 12% sq. ft. Cultural directions with every package.
