In the polymerization of olefins with a vapor phase fluidized bed reactor, the improvement comprises the steps of feeding seed polymer particles and the reaction is then started after feeding an organoaluminum compound on a prescribed basis, thereby avoiding the formation of sheet-like polymer in the initial period of the reaction and the lowering of the bulk density of the product polymer.
