 20 and 21) of at least twenty correctly named varieties, and not 

 more than forty. Entries for premiums Nos. 18 and 19 must be 

 separate and distinct collections, not embracing any other collection 

 or specimens, and in awarding the premiums regard will be had both 

 to the quality of the specimens and the value of the varieties exhibited. 



By "named varieties'' is meant such as are named and described 

 in some standard work on pomology, or have been named and ap- 

 proved by some national or state horticultural societ}^ 



In adopting 20 as the number of varieties required in these collec- 

 tions (1 to 17), the society does not intend to encourage the multi- 

 plication of varieties ; and the committee will be instructed, in 

 awarding the premiums, to have regard to quality and value rather 

 than to the number of varieties, and will be authorized to recom- 

 mend gratuities for meritorious collections embracing less than the 

 number of varieties required as above.
