WONDER (Improved Kleckley’s Sweet) .20.50..0.60..cc.ccicsccsveseccsnsvacceceussscorenisnesostcertnteinnaa nanan 85 
Comparatively new. Useful for home and nearby markets, but tender rind makes 
it unsuitable for long distance shipping. Large, dark green oblong fruits, often 22 
inches long. Flesh rich red, sweet, and fine textured. Seeds white. 
MUSHROOM SPAWN 
Mushrooms are propagated by means of microscopic “spores” which correspond to the 
seeds of flowering plants. 
PURE CULTURE SPAWN 
Our spawn is produced from the original spore cultures under the new French 
process, permitting the indefinite reproduction of the variety selected. We use 
stock of the white variety which is generally preferred. 
BRICK SPAWN 
Bricks weigh about 114 lbs. This is sufficient to spawn about 10 square feet. 
BOTTLE SPAWN 
Sufficient to spawn 40 square feet. 
MUSTARD 
Mustard is very widely grown for greens, particularly in the home and market gardens of 
the South. An abundance of tender succulent leaves is available 4 to 5 weeks after sowing seed.
