LIST OF PREMIUMS AWARDED. 



Class I.— APPLES. 



FIRST DIVISION. 



Rules. Entries for all premiums in this division must consist of 

 ■five specimens of each variety exhibited, and (except Nos. 18, 19, 

 20 and 21) of at least twent}'^ correcth' named varieties, and not more 

 than fifty. Eki tries for premiums Nos. 18 and 19 must be separate 

 and distinct collections, not embracing any other collection or speci- 

 mens, 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 society. 



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 award- 

 ing the premiums, to have regard to quality and value rather than to 

 the number of varieties, and will be authorized to recommend gra- 

 tuities for meritorious collections embracing less than the number of 

 varieties required as above.
