entirely outdoors, Polyanthus excluded. Doubles optional, but must 



include some of each of the other sections, and must contain at least 



thirty varieties distinct; at least three blooms of each must be shown. 



Not more than nine blooms of any one variety may be put up. To be 



staged in bottles, vases, or tubes not exceeding 3 inches in diameter 



at the top (inside measurement), and all the stems must touch the 



water. Quality of flower will count more than quantity, and correct 



naming and tasteful arrangement will be duly considered. Any hardy 



foliage may be used, Daffodil or otherwise. No prize will be awarded 



unless there are three competitors at least. Open to amateurs only. 



First Prize, The Cup ; Second, Silver Flora Medal. 



Past winners of this Cup may exhibit, but will not be eligible to receive the 

 Cup more than once in three years. In the event of any previous winner being 

 adjudged "first," a medal will be awarded instead of the Cup, which will go 

 to the next best exhibit, provided that the judges consider it to be of sufficient 

 merit.
