Judges.— The Judges have the power of increasing or diminish- 

 ing the number and value of the silver medals offered by the 

 Society for particular objects, and also of conferring Silver Medals 

 or Certificates in cases not contemplated in" these regulations, if 

 they think it necessary to do so. 



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

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

 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design <f the Council in 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to encourage the 

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

 make any awa^d in cises where the objects exhibited do not 

 appear worthy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad single exhibition 

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

 of the same class to oppose it. 



Copies of the above list may be obtained at 21, Regent- street, 



Upon application to the Secretary.

PAXTON'S POCKET BOTANICAL 

 DICTIONARY. 



In what may be called an age of Cyclopaedias, when the com- 

 pression of a great variety of information into one volume, in 

 order to bring it within the means of persons of all ranks, is so 

 universally sought, it is evidently desirable that the Gardener, 

 and those connected with his profession, should be as well 

 accommodated as other classes in this particular. No such work 

 existing, however, prior to the issue of the present publication, 

 its value will be at once apparent; since it combines the more 

 essential features of a Botanical Catalogue, a Horticultural 

 Guide, and a Technical Glossary. 



Besides being of this comprehensive description, it is especially 

 adapted for the Amateur and Floriculturist ; who may, by carry- 

 ing it in his pocket, examine all the plants that are at any time 

 submitted to his inspection, and immediately derive every intel- 

 ligence respecting the peculiarities or affinities of particular 

 species which could reasonably be wished for. This is an advan- 

 tage that can only be sufficiently estimated by those who have 

 felt the want of such an assistant; and to all such individuals, 

 as well as to every agent or friend cf Horticulture, the Pocket 

 Botanical Dictionary is decidedly indispensable.
