186 JOrEX.lL OF THE EOYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Every exhibitor taking part in a competition must leave his exhibits 
on show diu-ing the whole time of that exhibition, and must see that thev 
are properly looked after. 
Exhibitors of plants are authorised to negotiate with exhibitors of 
glasshouses for the use of one or more of the latter ; they will have to 
enter into an engagement in this case to keep them filled during such 
time as the Committee of Installation may determine. They will only 
qualify for awards in competitions falling within the programme, and in 
which they have duly taken part. 
The Administration may. under special circumstances, authorise the 
removal of plants which it would be particularly inconvenient to leave in 
the Exhibition till the end of a Periodical Show. 
Plants, flowers, fruit, or vegetables which are faded or spoilt must be 
removed and replaced by exhibitors, failing which, this removal will be 
summarily carried out by the Administration without the exhibitors 
having any right to object. 
Exhibitors must bear all expenses of packing, carrying, handling, un- 
packing, arranging, maintenance, and looking after their exhibits. 
Each plant exhibited must bear a label showing legibly and correctly 
both its common and its scientific name (species or variety\ 
New plants, vegetables, flowers, &c. must be provided with a label 
showing, besides their common and their scientific name, their place of 
origin, the date of their production, and of their introduction or impor- 
tation. 
The same specimen or exhibit cannot compete in more than one class 
at the same show. 
An exhibit may consist of several examples of the same species or 
variety ; this, however, will not apply in the case of a collection, where 
only one example of the same species or variety can be exhibited. In 
competitions merely differing in the number of specimens of a plant 
shown, the same variety may only appear in one of the competitions. New 
varieties of plants may be represented by several examples. 
Only such plants as have not been sent out will be considered as new, 
whether they are home-raised, introduced, or imported from abroad. 
Foreign exhibitors in the Periodical Shows must send in their applica- 
tions, at least six weeks before the shows take place, to the offices of the 
French Administration [Commissariat General (Direction geiierale da 
V Exploitation, Sections etrangeres), 97 Quai d'Orsay, Faris" through 
their respective Commissioners. Exhibitors will receive notice of their 
admission at least three weeks before the show opens. 
The apphcation forms must specify the name and abode of the appli- 
cant, the number, species, and variety of the products he wishes to 
show, the manner in which these exhibits are to be shown, the space 
they wiU occupy, and must state the particular show they are entered 
for : the apphcations must likewise state if the exhibits are to be shown 
in pots, in boxes, in baskets, or if they will be planted in the ground.

shows, of which only an abbreviated account is given in the tabular statement, can be
