Our spawn is imported from best English makers, runs freely, and produces the finest mushrooms. Bricks â weigh about one and a quarter pounds, and a brick is suflBcient to plant about nine square feet of bed. MUSHROOM SPAWN Best Mnglisb Spawn. Pirce in bricks 20c. ($ per 100 lbs. Special prices for large lots.) Culture. Plant small lumps, three inches deep, in melon beds, under glass. When the melon beds â decay, clean ofif the beds close to the glass, and water gently when the mould becomes dry. The mushrooms will continue to spring until checked by severe frost. To produce them in perfection, the most essential jpoint is the preparation of the material, which ought to consist of fresh stable manure, half droppings and ihalf litter; it must be thoroughly turned over every day for a fortnight, and then be made in a ridge 2 feet 6 inches at the bottom, 2 feet 6 inches high, and 6 inches wide at the top, the whole to be firmly put together. The bed may be of any length. After making up the bed, place stakes down the centre by which to guage the heat of the bed, and cover all with long litter. In two or three days pull out the stakes, and when the temperature stands 80 degrees the bed is ready for spawning. Break the brick of spawn mto pieces about the size of a hen's egg and put in eight or ten inches apart. Cover the whole with turfy loam soil and beat it wel
