Considering- the ease with which Mushrooms may be grown, it is strange that they are not as common as beets or turnips. They can be success- fully g-rown in a dry cellar, under the benches of a g-reen- house, or in sheds, where the temperature can be kept from 50 to 60 deg-rees throug-h the winter. DIRECTIONS FOR GROWLNG. Take fresh horse manure, and use nothing but the fine portions of it, shaking out the straw. Mix this with fresh loam, one part loam and two parts manure, and turn every day to keep from burning, until the fiery heat is nearly all out of it. Prepare the bed about four feet wide, and as long as re- quired. Put in the preparation about eight inches deep, making it very solid as it is put in. Let it remain in this condition until the temperature has become reduced to 90 degrees. Make holes two or three inches deep, into which put the spawn, in pieces about as large as an egg, twelve inches apart each way. Cover the spawn and let it remain for eight or ten days. Then cover the whole bed with fine loam to the depth of two inches, making it firm with the back of a shovel or spade. The bed must be in a covered situation, and the prepared soil kept dry from the commencement, and in a dark place, with the temperature about 50 degrees. If everything is favorably done, the mushrooms will appear in from six to eight weeks. After the bed has been spawned, do not water unless quite dry, and when necessary use lukewarm water only, FRENCH. Three-pound box, postpaid $ ENGLISH. In bricks, per lb., postpaid 30c ]I11JSTARD.
