Light boxes such as those used by mustard and sweetmeal manufacturers, 

 biscuit tins and other similar receptacles would be found very useful and a stock 

 of these with packing materials should bo obtained two or more Way.- previous to 



the show. 



Quality alway counts more than size. Produce often has a low value on 

 account of being too large and coarse. 



Avoid staging ninie than the required quantity. For instance, if six ((i) 

 tomatoes are required by schedule, do not stage seven because you have seven 

 good ones or for any other reason. If doubtful of quality, exhibit separate 

 samples. Exhibitors can take only one prize in each class, but they may stage 

 three or four samples. 1'ut small fruit and vegetables on plates, with— in the 

 case of fruit at least, a few healthy leaves of the plant to which the exhibit 

 belongs. Always allow plenty of time to stage exhibits by forwarding them 

 early to the show-room. 



For the benefit of School Teachers, Cottagers and other growers 

 preparing for forthcoming Vegetable Shows, the following notes have 

 been compiled : 



*For Bread-and-butter Salad, use Mustard leaves when only 6 or 10 days old.
