this fact was inadvertently omitted 

 from the schedule. 



The most noteworthy classes in the 

 final schedule are Classes 192, 193 and 

 194, covering $200 for the most valua- 

 ble economic plant, which may be a 

 new fruit, new vegetable, or other 

 plant which has a distinct economic 

 value; $200 for the most valuable new 

 foliage plant; and $100 for the most 

 valuable new flowering plant. These 

 prizes are to be awarded for plants 

 not yet in commerce, showing charac- 

 ters distinctly new and useful. Should 

 the entries in any one class not be 

 meritorious enough to secure an award, 

 the total money assigned to that class 

 may be divided among the two remain- 

 ing classes, providing the plants ex- 

 hibited in the remaining classes are 

 worthy of such a prize. Should no 

 plant exhibited be considered worthy 

 to secure an award under these condi- 

 tions, the entire prize may be with- 

 held. These prizes are offered by the 

 Missouri Botanic Garden of St. Louis, 

 and, as far as known, no schedule has 

 ever contained such a liberal provi- 

 sion. These offers should bring num- 

 bers of exhibits from the growers of 

 novelties in Europe. 



Anyone desiring a copy of the Final 

 Schedule of Prizes may have one on 

 application to John Young, secretary,
