Judges —The Judge* have the power of increasing or dimxnxsn- 

 m- the number and value of the silver medals offered by the 

 Society for particular objects, and also of con/erring Silver Medals 

 or Certificates in cases not contemplated in these regulations, it 

 tney think it necessarv to do so. 



The Judges are also required to bear in mind that the Society s 

 Medals are offered less for new ami curious objects, than for fine 

 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design of the Council in 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to encourage tne 

 collector as to reward the skilful Gardener; they are also not to 

 make any award in enses w e the objects exhibited do not 

 appear worthy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad nitffle exhibition 

 might obtain a prize, merely because there is no better exhibition 



of the same cbo-s to opposed. *♦.«,„►
