COMPETITION FOR THE CORY CUP FOR DAHLIAS. 
Tuesday, September 12. 
As this Cup was given solely with the object of encouraging raisers to produce 
Dahlias, of any class or section, that would be of Garden Decorative value, a 
Selection Committee has been formed by the R.H.S. and the National Dahlia 
Society. 
This Committee has carefully prepared a list of such Dahlias as they consider 
conform to the above requirement, and only such varieties as are contained in 
the list will be eligible for competition ; the staging of any other variety will 
disqualify the exhibitor. Every vase, or group of vases (should they contain 
the same variety), must be distinctly labelled, and no other words but the name 
of the variety may appear on the label. Copies of the list can be obtained on 
request from the Secretary of the R.H.S. and from the N.D.S. 
The Cup is offered for a group of Decorative Garden Dahlias. Twenty-five 
feet run of 3 feet tabling, not to be built up more than 8 feet in height from the 
ground level to the top of the flowers. Open. 
First Prize. — Seventy-five Guinea Challenge Cup, presented to
