ihg. That such special rules were necessary was so obvious 

 that reconimenclatious governing fruit exhibits, were pre- 

 sented at the Trustees' meeting in November, and unanimous- 

 ly adopted by the Society, so that collections and single 

 l^lates would not be classed together, and to have each varie- 

 ty of each class together, so that their merits (as far as the 

 eye reached them) could be contrasted quickly and surely by 

 all. Exhibitors and Committees, by such rules, would know 

 beforehand what was expected of them, the exhibitors would 

 see, when they entered the hall, on Avhat tables to place their 

 fruit, by the prominent notice (name of class and variety) 

 there displayed. It is expected, however, that the Ilall and 

 Fruit Committees will assist them all in their power. A 

 copy of the Special Eules adopted by the Society, to govern 

 Fruit Exhibits hereafter, is appended hereto. 



Respectfully submitted for the Committee, 



David W. Low, Chairman. 



JSpecial Mules to govern Fruit Exhibits, adojited by the So-

 and each exhibitor must certity to the same on lists of the va- 

 rieties, to be filed lohen entry is made, or on the Entry Book* 

 (Committees are not authorized to make awards to those who 

 do not comply with this rule.) 



Tables will be labelled in a consjncuous manner by the 

 Hall Committee, previous to the entry of exhibitors, with the 

 names of fruit, or collections of fruit, for which premiums 

 are offered, all others to be classed and labelled as Miscella- 

 neous. 



Exhibitors must place their several varieties where indica- 

 ted by such labels, or be considered by the Committees as not 

 competing for premiums. 



Collections where premiums are offered for a number of 

 varieties, must be entered and placed by themselves on the 

 tables assigned for collections of that class of fruit.
