Our book, *'Mushrooms, How to Grow Them," is mailed for $1,50. The Mushroom is a delicious edible fungus, of a white color, changing to a brown when old. The gills are loose, of a pinkish red, changing to livid color. It produces no seed, but instead a white fibrous substance in broken threads called spawn. CULTURE OF THE MUSHROOM. Mushrooms can be grown in the cellar, in sheds or in hot-beds in open air, on shelves or out-of the-way places. Fermenting horse manure, at a temperature of about 70 degrees, is made into beds the size required, 18 inches deep. In this bed plant the pieces of spawn 6 inches apart, cover- in^ the whole with 8 inches of light soil, and protect from cold and severe rams. The Mushrooms will appear in about 6 weeks. Water with luke- warm water, and only when quite dry. A book on Mushroom culture for $, postpaid.
