Of all Canada's sightseer ing attractions, none exerts the pow- erful annual ih'aw of the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. How many Americans visit this, the world's largest exposition, is not de- finitely known, but it is far up in the thousands, and every state contributes to the total. In a 1929 check-up made in one of the exposition's parking areas where 10,000 motors were lined side by side, there were license plates of 42 different states. Visitors come, in addition, by every rail and water route and by air. Magnitude of the spectacle is pos- sibly its greatest appeal. This year, the dates are August 22 to September 6 inclusive. Canada's greatest annual celebration is a thou- sand expositions in one. Any attempt to survey it in the course oil a few words is apt, therefore, to be bewilder- ing. Its attractions range from art galleries to battles for world's swim- ming titles; from mammoth historical pagear.try to "sea flea" races; from shiws of blooded livestock to concerts for a quarter of a ..lillion individuals.

The Exposition is one vast carnival. Thirty concert ban..s are heard in re- cital, including one great unit of out- standing musicians, the All-Canada Permanent Force Ba^id under Captain Charles O'Neill of historic Quebec Citadel.

Horticultural Show Big Feature Oasis to Visitors on Hot Exhibition Days A keen demand for space in Hortl- cultral Hall by many growers, and > ln> numerous and insistent requests for Information that are coming in daily, augers well for the success of the forthcoming Horticultural Display of tha Canadian National Exhibition's "All Canada Year" celebration. The Horticultural Committee, who have much to do with the designing of the Show, and the general layout of the building, at their initial meeting of the year, expressed themselves as well pleased at the big crowds at- tracted to the display, u.d the full measure of approval that attended their efforts in 1929. The cool and en- trancing beautiful interior of this building proves to be a veritable oasis on the sweltering hot days of Exhibi- tion period, and its restful confines are appreciated not only by flower enthusiasts, but by many thousands of the general run of Exhibition visit ors. The committee heartily ap- proved of again adhering to the side wall plan, which proved so outstand- ingly successful for the proper staging of the large group displays. The dec- orated screening, and subdued lighting effects which made these groups ap- pear really fairyland like, will again be taken full advantage of. In an ef- fort to further enhance tha attractive- ness of plants and groups, several im- portant changes have been made In this division, and prize money has been materially increased and extend- ed. Though a great deal of floor space is directed to the professional exhibits, the interests of the small grower and amateur gardener is well taken care of and the classes for the latter are seasonably most comprehensive. Tha Toronto Horticultural Society again features at this show with two splen- did special prize lists, catering to Hor- ticultral Society members, and an- other special class of great education' al value to visitors will be the "Speci- men Backyard Garden," a class that will show what ran be done on an ordinary city lot by those who have horticultural leanings. The Horticultural Building Display runs the full period of Exhibition, Aug. 22nd to September 6th, and there is no charge for admittance. The an- nual prize list now being mailed con- tains full information, classifications, etc., and is mailed free on request to H. W. Waters, General Manager, Lumsden Building. Toronto.
