 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design of the Council is 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to encourage u* 

 collector as to reward the skilful Gardener ; they are also notto 

 make any award in cases where the objtcts exhibited di not 

 appear worthy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad single exhibition 

 might obtain a prize, merely because there is no bitter cxhibioai 

 of the same class to oppose it.
