 QUEBEC EXHIBITION. 



A show of flowers was made at Quebec exhibition, and it is gratifying to report 

 that a diploma was awarded to it, besides one of the gold medals given by the manage- 

 ment for best display made in the Palace of Industry. This medal was won in competi- 

 tion with large firms who spend thousands of dollars for. advertising, and who 

 'neglected nothing to win at Quebec. It caii truthfully be said that our display of 

 flowers attracted more people than any other one at the fair, as there was continually 

 a large crowd around it. Special inscriptions asked farmers to make the home sur- 

 roundings more attractive and thus reward the faithful wife for her tireless work in 

 bringing up the family, and at the same time keep the boys and girls on the* place if at 

 all possible. 



SEED DISTRIBUTION. 



Over 1,400 packages of seed of annuals and perennials were saved and distri- 

 buted, and quite a number of plants of the latter put in last summer for distribution in 

 the spring of 1914. At the Quebec Exhibition, a card made it knowoi that the two 

 hundred first farmers who applied would be entitled to the free distribution, and it 

 did not take long before the applications were received for all we had to give away. 

 This shows the interest taken in trying to beautify the home grounds.
