Members of the Ontario Seed Growers’ /Vsociation are planning a seed display, which will be in posi­ tion throughout the week. This ex­ hibit will be quite different from those seen at fall and winter lots are shown. In contrast each sample in this display should be identical with commercial lots of similar quality for sale on the farms represented. Prospective seedsmen and others interested m the highest quality of farm crop seeds will have an oppor­ tunity of inspecting the best available in Ontario and of contacting the far­ mers growers, many of whom are ex­ pected to be in attendance.
