              VIRGIN  MUSHROOM   SPAWN
The merits of this particular make of Mushroom
Spawn have only recently
come to our attention, and
we were so impressed by
the many substantial and
unsolicited testimonials
from large and practical
growers of mushrooms for
market, that we concluded
to bring it before the notice
of our customers.
Every brick is made
from Virgin Spawn,
which produces quick and
heavy crops, and lasts long
in bearing.

A    FEW    OF    THE    TESTIMONIALS
The English Mushroom Spawn which I purchased from you this winter
has given most excellent results. The mushrooms are of a superior quality,
and the spawn quick to develop. Every bed planted with your spawn came
up thick with mushrooms.   The same cannot be said of other beds.

Gardener to Winthrop Sargent, Esq.

Please send me at once 60 bushels of good Spawn, send best you have.
The other 60 was very satisfactory. T. W. Cudmoke.
Will you kindly forward me 20 bushels of Mushroom Spawn as early as
convenient I am glad to say that what I had from you last year turned out
first-rate I had spawn from three other makers beside yourself, but yours
was 50 per cent, better than the best of the others. I. Duck.

FERTILIZERS
"Three=Leg" Brand Sheep Manure.
Pulverized and prepared by
special process by which the
ammonia is retained and all
weed seeds killed, making it
specially useful either for florists' use or top dressing.
During the months of October and
November the sheep are brought in
from Dakota and Montana and collected in covered barns and fattened
prior to killing. They are fed upon
screenings from the grain elevators of
the Northwest. The droppings are
taken to a drying plant and exposed
to a moist heat at of 350 degrees, long
enough to kill the germ of any seeds
which they may contain, and afterward dried and passed through a
20-mesh sieve, which insures a uniform product.
The article in commerce usually sold elsewhere is ordinarily dried
by exposure to the sun and air and allowed to ferment, by which latter
process its  fertilizing qualities are lost.   By the method used in pre-

paring the manure we send out, the ammonia is retained, making it of
greater value.
The grain upon which the sheep are fed is rich in nitrogen, and
therefore the product we sell lias a larger value than what has heretofore
been sold under the same name.
