CATALOGUE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 23 MUSHROOM. â Continued. it thus for a few days until the heat runs up to a hundred degrees or over and then declines to ninety degrees ; when this point is reached it is ready for spawning, which is done by making holes, three or four inches deep and twelve inches apart each way ; into each hole put a piece of spawn about as large as a hen's egg and fill in the hole with compost. At the end of ten or twelve days the spawn will have run through the whole bed. There should then be spread over the entire surface about two inches of fresh loam. Over all place a few inches of straw. All that remains to be done is to keep the temperature as near to sixty degrees as possible; it should never be allowed to fall below fort}* degrees, or the crops will be both reduced and delayed. Ordinarily, if the conditions are right, mushrooms will appear in about six weeks and continue to come for about a month. In the event of the surface of the bed becoming very dry sprinkle it freely with water at a temperature of about a hundred degrees. After the crop has been taken off the bed, it should receive a dressing»of fresh loam to a depth of half an inch, thoroughly firmed, over the entire surface, and when dry a sprinkling with water as above recommended, and a second crop will soon be had. A brick of English spawn is sufficient for nine square feet of bed. Mushroom Spawn. Original English Milltrack, superior to all others, lb., 12 cts.; 50 lbs., ; 100 lbs., Mushroom Spawn.
