We are trying at the present time toget out a judging standard, and in it will be placed a picture of a tjpical specimen,and when we have that, each one of us can grow his own variety.

Fix the idea in our minds as towhat we want, and then select with that idea in mind. J. LocKiE WiLSOx: We want to bring our distant branches a closer tothe large exhibitions by having that up-to-date method of packing. The far-offexhibitor has been pretty heavily handicapped, because his stuff did not arrivein good condition. But now with the improved idea of packing in these squaresneatly wrapped and carefully packed, the vegetables of the London, or Sarnia manwhen he ships to Ottawa, will be in as good a condition as those of the growernearer at hand. 12 THE REPORT OF THE No. 34 J. J. Davis : Regarding the time of sending these vegetables, we generallyhave to ship them on Saturday night so that they will arrive on Monday is a long time to have vegetables in transit
