Class 1— APPLES. 

 First Division. 



Special Regulations. "Entries for all premiums in this division 

 must consist of live specimens of each variety exhibited, and 

 (except Nos. 18 and 19) of at least twenty correctl}' named varie- 

 ties. 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. 



Collection entered for premiums Nos. 2 to 17, may also be entered 

 for No. 1, but in any such case only one premium will be awarded 

 for one collection. 



Seedlings and "native fruits" not named, ov standard varieties 

 "unknown" or incorrectlv named, will not be admitted in these 

 collections ; but all such specimens will go to the Committees on 

 " new fruits" or " nomenclature." 



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

 in some standard work on Pomology, or have been named and 

 approved by some National or State Horticultural Societ3\ 



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

 lections, (I to 17.) 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 varieties required as above."
