     What are the Points hhat the Canadian 
     
     growermust think oNiFhe isto produce 
     
     quality seed? Once a new variety is re- 
     
     leased ior production, it must be kept true 
     
     to name. The Canadian Seed Growers‘ 
     
     Association has set up standards which. ii 
     
     followed religiously. will result in keeping 
     
     the variety reasonably true to Home. The 
     
     principal thing in these regulations is isol- 
     
     ation distances. Beans, peas and lettuce 
     
     may be grown within 25 feet o! another var- 
     
     iety wiairout any danger oi crossing. Toma- 
     
     toes require 100 ieet separation; Billnlant 
     
     and pepper 150 feet; and asparagus, carrots, 
     
     onions. leeks, radishes, parsnips, cabbage,

     In annual flowers. there are several 
     
     outstanding new varieties. There is Col- 
     
     ossal Shadesior Rose, a silver- medal win- 
     
     ner in the All-American trials. This is the 
     
     first large all double petunia produced in 
     
     America. With its flowers oi four and a 
     
     hall’ inches in din-meter. it is worthy oi any 
     
     gardeners effort. Bright Eyes Petunia- 
     
     All-American bronze winner in leis-i: 
     
     n remarkable fine uniform petunia of the 
     
     dwarf compact habit and extremely florifer-

     and you have a good picture of what Bright 
     
     Eyes looks like. The third All-American 
     
     winner in 1946 is Peach Red Petunia which 
     
     received Honorable Mention. Here is a 
     
     new color in petunias. It is a deep salmon 
     
     suffused light red. The plants are hybrid 
     
     and compact type being only seven to nine 
     
     inches tall. 
     
    

    
     The only new vegetable in i946 to 
     
     merit attention is longreen. It is a green
