MUSHROOMS 
99F82 Pure Culture Tobacco Stem Spawn 
Crumbled Tobacco Stem Spawn is the latest scientific de- 
velopment 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 to- 
bacco 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 Mush- 
rooms, try this improved form of spawn. One package will 
plant 12% sq. ft. Cultural directions with every package. 
50¢ per package; 3 pkgs. $1.35; 12 pkgs. $4.25, postpaid.
