Vegetable Displays at C. N. E.( 



The sh' wint! of vegetables at the Cana-l 

 dian National this year was well up to tlw| 

 standard sot in past years OwinR to tl 

 presence of a number of commercial exhibUj 

 in the horticultural building, the vegctabk 

 were releRated to a tent. Under such cij 

 cumstancts it was not possible to show th 

 untries to the best advantage. 



The arrangement of the exhibits is always 

 an important point. In this respect there: 

 was little fault to find, the entries not be-' 

 ing mixed as to class. While the quality' 

 of the entire showing was good, some of th» 

 roots, particularly turnips and mangels, 

 .showed some roughness. The season, how- 

 ever, has in a large measure been respons- 

 ible, as such dry weather is not conducive! 

 to the best development of the root crop. 

 The di.splay of squash was most creditable, 

 the specimens being notably well farmed. 



Among the chief prize-winners were : Wm. 

 Marshall, Falkenburg; R. Plunkett & Sons 

 and C. Plunkett. Weston; J. B. Guthrie, 

 Dixie; J. P. HelHwell. Brown Bros., J. 

 Dundridge and F. Reeves, all of Humber 

 Ba.v; W. D. Woodruff, W. J. Purminger, 

 St." Catharines; W. Clark. Xorth Toronto, 

 and Ed, Brown. Wcywood Park. 



ASSOCIATION KXHIBIT 



In the Government building the Ontario 

 Vegetnblo Growers' Association showed a, 

 fine collection of the prize^winning entries 

 in the field crop competitions conductcl this 

 season. The .specimens were smooth ai 

 well formed John Harris & Son. Be;l 

 ville, were first on celery; J. A. Humphrt 

 Stratford, won first on tomatoes, and Chi- 

 .\ymer, Humber Bay, similar honofrs on 

 onions. 



A fine display of all farm crops gave an 

 idea of what is be'ng done along agricul- 

 tural lines at the public institutions of On- 

 tairio. A group of exhibits that attracted ' 

 much attention was th? showing of vege- ' 

 tables and grains made bv the districts of 

 Sudbury, Algoma, Rainy River. Temiskam 

 ing and Kenora. As an example of the 

 agricultural possibilities of these districts, 

 the showing wa.s an eye-opener to many. 

 Kent county. Ont,, had a revolving pyra 

 mid of Tegetables and grains, showing the 

 producing possibilities of the region. 



Rainy River District 



The Rainv River Exhibit at the Toronto 

 Exhibition was a revelation to many. It 

 consisted of specimens of bush fruits, 

 K-rains and veijetables. Some of the very 

 finest agricultural products on the grounds 

 were shown here. 



Rainy River excels in the quality of seed 

 potatoes which mature two or three weeks 

 earlier than those grown farther south, and 

 are absolutely free from all fungus dis- 

 eases. The Rainy River Potato Growers' 

 Association is prepared to ship any quan- 

 titv of these potatoes, all shipments being 

 carefully graded, stenciled and numbered.

"- (Ginseng Growers' Meet 



Some important business was transact- 

 ed at the annual convention of Ontario 

 ginseng growers, which was held in R. T. 

 of T, Hall. 1087 Queen street West, Tor- 

 onto, on September 3. The number of 

 ginseng growers in Ontario is not large 

 but' the lack of numbers was made up for 

 by an abundance of enthusiasm, so the con- 

 vention was interesting and helpful. 



After the reports of the offices had been 

 read the main business centred on the re- 

 port of the executive committee. Last year
