* All trials in the Wisley Garden are carried out under number only until 

 judging is completed. The number prefixed to the name of the variety in the 

 Report corresponds with that by which alone the variety was known until judgment 

 had been given. Fellows visiting the Garden and noticing any plant under a number 

 can easily ascertain its name later by reference to the Report in the Journal.
