A Cellar, or other Cool Place, the First
Thing TO Get.
Mushroom growing is said to be the
latest fad that has attacked Baltimore,
and interesting stories of the success,
both material and financial, that pri-
vate growers of mushrooms are meet
ing with, are being circulated. The
cellars of brewing establishment no
longer in operatlon,in the southeastern
section of the city. have been con-
vcrtcd into mushroom farms by some
enterprising growers, and 1t is said
that they are yielding very satlsfac-
tory crops.
Besides these growers who have
gone into the business on I'm eXtcn-
slve scale, number of women have
started smaller farms in the cellars
of the houses in which they live. Ac-
cording TO the figures given by Mr..
Theodore Eckhardt yesterday, these
women farmers run n fair chance Of

cost of the bed would be about SO.
The mushrooms would sell for seven
ty-five cents n peck, bringing the
farmer $3.50 making gain Of $3.50
on the undertaking.
The things that are necessary for
success in mushroom growing, accord
ing to Mr.. Eckhardt, are. first, the
cellar in which they are to he grown
(and this must be so arranged that
the plants can be kept at tempera-
ture of from sixty degrees to seventy
degrees; second, good ventilation, as

be necessary for n bed fifteen feet
long. The mushroom spawn can be
procured in the shape of bricks from
the florists and nurserymen. The tenn
perature of the bed must be tested.
and no planting must be done until
II is below ninety-ive degrees. Then
the bricks can be broken in half-inch
pieces and distributed evenly over the
bed.
In eight or ten days white thread
like growth will begin to appear, and
when this is noticed the bed must be
covered to the depth of one-half to
three-quarters of an inch with sandy
loan. The beds are built in conical
shape, starting from base about
three feet wide and building up to
about two and half feet high, with
Il width of about ten inches on top.
A frame of siX-inch boards may be
used to keep the bed in place.
