MUSHROOM MANURE” 
A two-inch layer of Spent Mushroom Manure 
mixed with clay excavation soil will produce a good 
lasting turf. This makes a much lower cost lawn than 
the hauling in of some low grade so-called top soil 
as is generally sold for top soil. This has been proven 
over and over again. It will produce a good lasting 
turf almost weedless. 
For-use on a vegetable, or flower garden we 
recommend from two to four inches spaded into the 
soil. A generous application will supply your garden 
with ample plant food for a long time. It loosens - 
the soil, retains moisture and promotes growth. For 
mulching, or placing around any established plants, 
we recommend from one to two inches. For roses, it 
should be placed down in the bed on planting and 
then use some to mulch them every fall for winter 
protection. As a top-dressing for lawn either in the 
fall or winter, we recommend from ¥% to ¥% inch. It 
is also used by many gardeners to cover newly seeded 
lawns to keep them from drying out after seeding. 
| For those who wish to be technical and want the 
| analysis, we furnish the following information from 
actual laboratory tests by the largest testing labora- 
tory in Western Pennsylvania: Ph., 6.9; Nitrogen, 
44% to .70%; Phosphorus. 57% to 62%; Potash, 
52% to 1.51% and Organic Content, 18.9% up. 
The chemical analysis is not guaranteed but these 
figures show the high and low contents from actual 
tests. Laboratory tests of regular stable manures 
generally show considerable lesser amounts of the 
necessary elements to promote plant growth. 
Spent Mushroom Manure lacks the filth, odor 
and disease spread in ordinary stable manures for it 
is sterilized before entering the Mushroom growing 
plant. This process also kills nearly all weed seeds 
found in ordinary barnyard manures.
