cclxxvii 



For five consecutive years Messrs. Clay will also present a 

 smaller commemorative Cup, which the Council will give to the 

 winner of the Challenge Cup when at the end of the twelve months 

 it shall have been returned safely and in good condition. 



The winner of one year may not win again the next year, but only 

 in alternate years ; the Cup will not be bestowed in respect of the 

 same variety more than once. 



In any year the award of the Cup may be withheld if the Council 

 are of opinion that there is no exhibit worthy of it. 



The decision of the Council is final. 



The Council will not award this high distinction unless satisfied 

 and assured that the exhibit is, in the main, due to the work and 

 capability of the exhibitor or his employes : on this point the Council 

 may consult any expert not eligible to win the Cup. 



The Council may reserve decision till the third day of the Show. 



The attention of intending exhibitors is particularly directed to 

 the Society's 1914 Code of " Rules for Judging."

Trial of Tulips. 

 In view of the confusion existing in the nomenclature of Tulips, 

 the Council of the R.H.S. have been requested to draw up a list of

 Dutch growers. Growers, both at home and abroad, have accordingly 

 been invited to send five bulbs of each of their varieties, with the
