AROUND the world,
flowers and blossoms '
are known as symbols
of young life.

It’s fitting then, that
Maplewood Farm holds a
Sunflower Growing contest
for children every summer.

This year, every child
who visits the farm before
the end of May will receive a
free packet of sunflower '§
seeds to grow,

At the end of summer,
they are to bring their grown
entries back to the farm dur-
ing Farm Fair.

The judging has been

d for 1997 to allow
more children a chance to
win, although’ all that color
in their, own flowerbed
should be reward enough.

Visitors will also be able
