SCALE OF POINTS 



For Use of Judges at Exhibitions. 



As a basis for making up awards on our collective exhibits at 

 the Fair, the executive committee have arranged the following scale 

 of points : A catalogue has been prepared in which values are 

 placed upon the varieties of fruit included in the society's premium 

 list. The total of these points will make not more than one-half 

 of the points of the exhibit. When the entry cards are prepared 

 by the Secretary, the points belonging to each variety in the exhibit 

 will be given to it, as for example, Baldwin, 41. The judges will 

 take the list of varieties in the exhibit and score them. The foot- 

 ings of the two columns will determine the awards. Varieties not 

 on our premium list are given a certain number of points. The 

 purpose of this is to make it an object in these collections to show 

 the best varieties of fruit, and the exhibitors who do this will 

 receive full justice. The score of the varieties themselves will deter- 

 mine the points to which they are respectively entitled. 



The tables are somewhat defective, the officers not being able to 

 place correct ratings from their own knowledge. Before the 

 exhibition ratings will be inserted from the most accurate knowl- 

 edge to be obtained. Fruit growers who can supply the missing 

 ratings are invited to send them to the Secretary for comparison.
