In judging strawberries we shall compare the size and form, color, 

 flavor, firmness and condition. Five points. They shall be shown with 

 stem and calyx. 



Raspberries may be shown with or without the calyx. In this fruit 

 we shall have to judge of the size, color, flavor and condition. Four 

 points. 



Blackcaps must have size, color, flavor and condition. Four points. 



Blackberries must be tested according as they present size, color 

 and form, flavor and texture and condition. Four points. 



In all cases it is well to have a convenient scale of comparison, for 

 which the number ten is found to be easily managed. The highest 

 figure denotes perfection of the variety, and five is mediocre; below that 

 is condematory. The total of the marks should exceed fifty per cent 

 of the possible number, or the entry must be passed as unworthy of 

 award. 



Seedlings having once been presented, and failing of recognition 

 under the rules of the society, shall not again be presented. 



Any one having fruit which they wish to keep in cold storage for 

 the State Fair may do so by expressing it, prepaid, to Lincoln Ice & 

 Cold Storage Co., Lincoln, Nebraska. 



Be sure to mark this fruit "For State Fair." 



The Horticultural Society will pay storage on same and have it 

 delivered to the fair grounds at the proper time.
