EXHIBITIONS AT THE GARDEN. 



IVSTRCCTION'S TO TUB JlDGES AS TO THEIR Co.VSIIlKRATIOX 

 OK THI NOVBLTV OK TICK OBJECTS EXHIBITED. 



Iv forming your opinion of the subject* submitted to yon for 

 examination, you are requested to take into contideratinn 

 whether they have been exhibited previously or not. The 

 object of this regulation is to give specimens produced at the 

 Society's Garden Meetings, for the first time, an advantage over 

 others previously exhibited, although of equal merit; and to 

 obstruct the system of exhibiting very fine plants repeatedly, 

 to the disadvantage of others. The effect of this regulation 

 should be,— l. That if two collections should be nearly the same 

 in point of merit otherwise, that in which no previously 

 exhibited specimen shall be found, will be regarded as the better 

 of the two. 2. That in all cases of doubt, the person who had 

 not exhibited previously shall have the benefit of the doubt. 

 3. That when each of two competitors shall have introduced 

 previously-exhibited plants into his collection, that collection 

 which contains the fewest of them shall be deemed the superior 

 if they are otherwise nearly alike. It is not, however, wished 

 that the previous exhibition of plants should depreciate their 

 value so much as to place a superior collection below one very 

 decidedly inferior. The application of this regulation is left 

 to your judicious consideration.
