MEDAL FOR NEW PLANT. 



The director of tbe Missouri Botan- 

 ical Garden desires to call attention to 

 the fact that in June. 1S93, the Board 

 of Trustees of the garden founded a 

 gold medal to be known as "The Henry 

 Shaw Medal for the introduction of a 

 valuable plant," and to be awarded 

 each year, when practicable, for a new 

 plant of value for cultivation, exhibit- 

 ed in St. Louis, as a part of the pre- 

 miums or prizes to a flower show or 

 exhibition provided for in the will of 

 the late Henry Shaw; provided that 

 the judges or other persons making 

 awards at such exhibition shall certify 

 that said medal is "awarded for a 

 plant of decided merit for cultivation, 

 not previously an article of North 

 American commerce, and introduced 

 to such commerce by the exhibitor 

 during the year in which said award 

 is made." 



Numerous plants worthy of the 

 award of this medal are each year in- 

 troduced into the American trade, and 

 the undersigned will at any time glad- 

 ly furnish detailed information to 

 their introducers, as to the time of 

 holding the flower show at which they 

 may be exhibited in competition for 

 the medal. This year the medal will 

 be offered as a part of the premiums 

 placed in the hands of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club for award at their an- 

 nual Chrysanthemum Show, to be held 

 in St. Louis, November 14 to 18, 1899.
