Many people who !ike to grow plants, either in the garden or in the 
house, have been asking us how they could grow mushrooms in their 
basements during the fall and winter months. Until the introduction of 
the Magic Mushroom Trays this was a most difficult operation. 
The preparation of the mushroom bed was an expensive, messy, and 
generally unpleasant task. The odor from the fresh barnyard manure, 
necessary in making the beds, made living in the house just about 
impossible. 
These Magic Mushroom Trays have changed all of this. They are 
complete ‘’mushroom beds” packed in easily handled shallow, wooden 
flats, all ready to 
bear a crop as soon 
as they are placed 
in a suitable tem-

These prepared trays will supply your table with fresh mushrooms 
in 3 to 4 weeks from the time you start them growing and continue 
to produce for two to four months. 
They make a most interesting hobby. All of the materials used in 
these Magic Mushroom Trays have been pasteurized so that it is im-

between 52 and 65 degrees—and 
unless you are willing and able to 
give them the care necessary for 
their successful growth, we urge you 
not to try them, because we certain-

possible for any other type of growth to appear on the trays except 
edible mushrooms. 
Orders for trays are filled starting October Ist and continuing 
until! May Ist. We suggest that at least four trays be started at one 
time in order to have mushrooms in sufficient quantities for an average 
sized ftmily. Customers have reported a bushel or more mushrooms 
from four trays. 
Magic Mushroom Trays are produced by men with years of experi- 
ence in the growing of mushrooms for the wholesale market. The mush- 
room beds in these trays are prepared in the same way as those which 
are used for commercial mushroom production. 
The cost of the trays can be reduced by getting friends to order 
with you so that you can take advantage of the low rate when getting 
ten or more trays at one time. 
Complete instructions for growing mushrooms from these trays are 
sent with every shipment. 
In 1948 we used the spore of white mushrooms in these trays. In 
- 1949 we changed to the cream colored mushrooms. This year we are 
back to the white variety again as it proved much more satisfactory.
