One of the busiest places in Toronto was recently visited by our correspon- dent when lie was shown through the seed establishment of Win.

The derpart- ment on Lombard St., under the man- agement.of Mr. Jno. Rennie is devoted to the handling o! Seed Grain and Clév- or ancrGrass Seeds. A complete lineofo the pnoat improved cleaning machinery is kept running nigit and day prepar- ing these seeds for market and Rennio's best recleaned grades have -now corne to be recognized as a standard for ex- cellence and are in brisk demgnd by European buyers.
