SCALE OF POINTS. 



The following scale of points, for determining the values of 

 single varieties, is the one referred to in the preceding introduction. 



In many eases it is desirable to have a reason for making awards, 

 Believing that a scale of points would be of great ser\ace to judges 

 in determining merit in doubtful cases, and at the same time of 

 educational value to the exhibitor, the following scale has been 

 adopted for the 1895 exhibition of single plates of apples and 

 pears. In order to receive a first premium the fruit must score at 

 least 75 points, a second premium 60 points, a third premium 50 

 points.
