Awards at the Centennial.— We have not 

 been favored with a list of the awards in the 

 Horticultural Department, but the following of 

 the Pomological Department has been kindly- 

 handed to us for publication. We have omitted 

 most names which are in countries where the 

 English Language is not spoken, or our maga- 

 zine has no circulation. 



We may observe that the fact that a person 

 has an award for any particular object, is, by the 

 Centennial plan, only a part of the honor. For 

 instance, we note now that an award is made 

 for " Apples," but it is what the jndges say of the 

 apples, their peculiar merit or points of excel- 

 lence — that is the real honor — and these points 

 are named in the certificate which accompanies 

 the medal. It is the certificate, not the medal 

 that tells the story. 



It must be gratifying to the members of the 

 Pomological group of jurors to know that their 

 recommendation for awards were adopted by 

 the Centennial Commission, without a single ex- 

 ception, nor do we know that any have been 

 added by the supplementary group, appointed 

 to revise the work of the other groups. 



In addition to the awards, a very large number 

 of exhibits, though not possessing special excel- 

 lencies, have yet had complimentary notices in 

 the regular weekly reports, some of which have, 

 and probably all of which will or should be pub- 

 lished by the Centennial Commission.
