The judges have the power of increasing or diminishing the 

 number and value of medals offered by the Society for particular 

 objects, and also of conferring medals in cases not contemplated in 

 these regulations, if they think it desirable to do so. 



The only absolute directions which the judges receive from the 

 Council are, firstly, to bear in mind that the Society's medals are 

 offered, not only for new and curious objects, but for remarkable 

 specimens of horticultural skill, the design of the Council in in- 

 stituting these meetings, being not merely to encourage the col- 

 lector, but more especially to reward the success of the skilful 

 gardener ; and secondly, not to make any award in cases where the 

 objects exhibited do not appear worthy of a medal ; otherwise a 

 bad single exhibition may obtain a prize, merely because there is 

 no better exhibition of the same class to oppose it. 



The garden is opened, on each exhibition day, to Fellows and 

 to visitors, at one o'clock, under the following regulations : — 



All Fellows of the Society are admitted without tickets, from 

 one till six o'clock, on signing their names in a book at the entrance.
