TRIANON COS-or ROMAINE-LETTUCE
Trianon is by far the best of the
Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These are
becoming very popular; they have a
distinct and pleasing flavor. The long,
spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped
heads, and are easily blanched by gath-
ering the outer leaves at the top and
loosely tying them with soft string sev-
eral days before wanted for the table.
Cos Lettuce may be used to advan-
tage where the heading varieties do not
succeed, as almost the entire plant is
tender and palatable. (See cut.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb.,
$1.75 lb.
EXPRESS, HENDERSON'S. A very
early Cos Lettuce of dwarf, compact
growth, heading up without tying.
The self-folding inner leaves blanch
beautifully white, crisp and tender.
It stands hot weather splendidly, and
is slow in bolting to seed. Price, 10c.
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., $1.75 lb.
"/ had fine luck with your Trianon Cos Let-
tuce in spite of the bad weather; many weighed
2 pounds; solid white. 1 '
J. DA VID, R. D. No. 3, Winsted, Conn.
"I take this opportunity of praising the new
Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb, one is
enough for a large family."

H enderscws SUPERIOR MUSHROOM SPAWN
The white, thread-like substance seen permeating the brick or tablet in which Mushroom Spawn is sold is called Mycelium. The edible part of the Mushroom
is analogous to the flower in other plants. The spawn as sold is in a dormant condition, growth being suspended by withholding moisture. The task for the
grower is to cause it to revive and resume growth. This is accomplished by placing the spawn in prepared beds of fresh horse manure and soil, which may be
made in a shed, cellar, or under greenhouse benches. Next to proper preparation the most important thing is to maintain a uniform and moist air temperature
of 50 to 60 degrees. Full directions given in pamphlet, free if asked for.
AMERICAN cuTF&e MUSHROOM SPAWN
Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn have
enabled us to offer cultures taken only from selected specimens,
thus extending the work of selection to this delicious vegetable.
It is now possible to reproduce Mushrooms showing superiority
in size, color and shape. The value of such selection is already
apparent, for we are now able to offer a pure culture spawn that
will produce Mushrooms, uniform in shape, even in size, and of a
constant creamy-white color. American Pure Culture Spawn is
sold in flat bricks about V/2 inches thick, weighing about a pound.
One brick may be broken into nine pieces, which, set 12 inches apart,
will spawn an area of 9 square feet. Price, 20c. lb., 10 lbs. for $1.75,
100 lbs. for $14.00. Purchaser paying carriage.
FRENCH VIRGIN MUSHROOM SPAWN
Produced by sowing the spores of the best specimens in a laboratory in
France under scientific conditions which provide immunity from disease
and thus insure greater vigor. We have found it easy to produce
Mushrooms from this spawn. They are large, white, and extremely
fleshy. The spawn is sold in tablets, four being required to spawn an
area of nine square feet. Special directions for its use are enclosed
with every shipment. Price, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100.
