18. SUGGESTED SHOW AT LIVERPOOL. 



The Royal Agricultural Society have withdrawn their suggestion that 

 a show should be held under the auspices and organization of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society. The announcements on pages 18, 48, and 56 in 

 the "Book of Arrangements," 1910, are in consequence cancelled. 



19. BRITISH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES. 



In 1910, instead of the system of scattering the prizes offered all 

 through the year, they will be concentrated on two meetings, the 

 Great Fruit Show being held on October 13 and 14, and the Vegetable 

 prizes being combined with the Ordinary Meeting on October 25. The 

 Schedules of the Prizes are now ready on application. 



20. CHALLENGE CUPS FOR VEGETABLES. 



A handsome £20 Challenge Cup has been presented to the Society 

 by Messrs. Sutton, of Reading, and the Council have decided to offer 

 it, with £10, for the best collection of twelve kinds of vegetables on 

 October 25. The Society also offers a Champion Challenge Cup for the 

 greatest number of points obtained by any one exhibitor throughout the 

 same Exhibition, the winner of the Sutton Cup being excluded. These 

 Cups may only be won by the same exhibitor once in four years, but he 

 may compete every year for any second prize that may be offered. 



21. COLONIAL-GROWN FRUIT SHOW, 1910. 



An Exhibition of Colonial-grown Fruits and Vegetables will be held 

 on December 1 to 3, 1910.
