AND CITY BEAUTIFUL IOI 



A card is left at each place (whether any one is at 

 home or not) stating that this competing garden officially 



inspected, date , signed by the official inspector. 



On the reverse side of this card are the rules for getting 

 higher marks, as mentioned just before the rules in this 

 chapter. 



The names of all persons whose gardens average over 

 90 or the ten highest in each district are given to the pre- 

 sident of the Institute, who in turn visits and marks these 

 gardens. The highest gardens are still again visited and 

 marked by some other person. The prize award is made 

 a great affair when with the shrubs over 100 prizes are 

 given out, including 150 shrubs and about two hundred 

 dollars in money. Stereopticon slides of the winning gar- 

 dens are sometimes shown.
