List of Premiums Awarded at tlie Sixteenth Annual 

 Exhibition, 1888. 



Class I— APPLES. 



Entries for all premiums in this division must consist of five 

 specimens of each variety 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 the general 

 and County collections, the Society' does not intend to encourage 

 the multiplication 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 

 recommend gratuities for meritorious collections embracing less than 

 the number of varities required.
