THE SOCIETY'S RULES FOR EXHIBITING AND 

 NAMING FRUITS. 



The rules of the American Pomological Society for exhibiting and naming 

 fruits are as follows : 



SECTION I. 



NAIIING AND DESCRIBIXG NEW FKUITS. 



Itule 1 — The originator or introducer (in the order named) has the prior 

 right to bestow a name upon a new or unnamed fruit. 



Knle 2 — The society reserves the right, in case of long, inappropriate, or other- 

 wise objectionable names, to shorten, modify, or wholly change the same, when 

 they shall occur in its discussions or reports ; and also to recommend such 

 changes for general adoption. 



Kule .3 — The name of a fruit should preferably express, as far as practicable 

 hy a single word, a characteristic of the variety, the name of the originator, or 

 the place of its origin. Under no ordinary circumstances should more than a 

 single word be employed. 



Rule 4 — Should the question of priority arise between different names for 

 the same variety of fruit, other circumstances being equal, the name lirst publicly 

 bestowed will be given precedence. 



Rule 5 — To entitle a new fruit to the award or commendation of the society 

 it must possess (at least for the locality for which it is recommended) some valu- 

 able or desirable quality, or combination of qualities, in a higlier degree than any 

 previously known variety of its class and season. 



Rule 6 — A variety of fruit having been once exhibited, examined, and reported 

 upon as a new fruit by a committee of the society will not thereafter be recog- 

 nized as such, so far as subsequent reports are concerned. 



SECTION II. 



COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS OF FRUITS. 



Rule 1 — A plate of fruit must contain six specimens, no more, no less, ex- 

 cept in the case of single varieties not included in collections.
