ing the anaes and value of the Silver Medals offered by the 
Society for particular objects, and also of conferring Silver Medals 
or Certificates in cases not in these F 
they think it necessary to do 
The Judges are also required “to bearin mind that the Society’s 
Medals are offered less for new and curious objects, than for fine 
specimens of erar tga facet skill, the design of the Council in in- 
stituting these mectings being not so much to encourage the 
collector as to reward the skilful Gardener ; they are also not to 
appear worthy of a Medal; otherwise a bad single exhibition 
might obtain a prize, meet because there is no better exhibition 
of ae same class to 0;
