Grow Your Own 
Mushrooms 

Fie GROW a crop of Mushrooms in your own base- 
ment cellar or well-built outbuilding—is a home 
gardening effort worth making. While these are 
guickly salable, we are sure most of-our readers 
would insist on eating their own crops! The soca- 
tion of the beds must be one where a temperature 
of 55 degrees to 65 degrees can be kept during cold 
weather. A barrel may be used in which to confine the 
manure for growing. A leaflet, ‘“‘How to Grow Mush- 
rooms.” FREE with orders for Mushroom Spawn.

sterile conditions, so that every mould, weed seed or 
insect is destroyed and each bottle contains nothing 
but pure spawn. One bottle equals 5 bricks of ordi- 
nary spawn and is sufficient for 40 square feet.

first early spring onions. They are very mild and 
sweet in flavor and far superior to the green onions 
from other sets. There are usually several stalks 
from a single bulb and in this way are very pro- 
ductive. Their most important quality is their 
extreme earliness being ready for eating ahead of 
any other kind. Lb., 50c; 2 Ibs., 95c; 5 Ibs., $1.90; 
10 lbs., $3.50. 
Egyptian or Red Perennial. For fall planting 
only. This variety never forms a large bulb; its 
value lies wholly in its special adaptability to 
produce green Onions for spring or fall use 
which are perfectly hardy and stay in the ground

early spring crop. Lb., 25c; 2 Ibs., 45c; 5 Ibs.,

Chives 
A perennial herb, a member of the onion family which 
every garden should grow. The slender, tubular 
leaves have a delicate onion flavor, just enough to 
season a green salad when the chopped-up leaves 
are used. The leaves are used for seasoning. The 
flowers are a beautiful lavender. Pkt., 25c; 4% oz., 
90c; oz., $1.75. 
Leeks 
Leeks are better if transplanted. Use a dibber, set 
the plant deep in the hole and do not fill it up but 
let the soil wash in. Leeks are cousins of the onions 
and their flavor is subtly different when used in stews. 
All varieties mature in about 130 days.
