EXPLANATION. 



In the plan of rating, all varieties are supposed to be represented by perfect 

 specimens: under each head the best varieties are rated at ten, and all the 

 other more or less inferior varieties by some figure less than ten. It frequently 

 happens that with the best varieties imperfect specimens find their way into the 

 collections. Tlie score foUowina: this list will provide a plan for rating the speci- 

 mens exhibited. The "Total" in this table will be added to the score given the 

 several varieties. 



The ratings are more; or less defective, but the coniniittee feel confident that 

 some such plan is necessary in order to do justice to the exhibitors. It is believe<l 

 that experience will determine the defects, and future revisions may correct 

 them.
