Competitors are requested to send with their wheat, specimens, fairly 
taken, of the same in the ear, with the whole of the straw, in a bundle 
not less than one foot in diameter, and with the roots attached. 
[12 bushels of the wheat will be sealed up by the judges, and one of 
the remaining bushels of each variety will be exhibited as a sample 
to the public ; the other being kept for comparison with the pro- 
duce of the next year. At the General Meeting in December, 1844, 
the prizes will be awarded.] 
The two best samples of each of these three classes of wheat, without at that 
time distinguishing, in any of the cases, between the comparative merits of 
either sample, will be selected by the judges appointed for the Meeting at 
Derby ; and will be sown, under the direction of the Society (the winter 
wheats in the autumn of 1843, and the spring wheat not earlier than the 
1st of March, in 1844) by four farmers; who will make their report, upon 
which the prizes will be awarded, provided there be sufficient merit in any 
of the samples. Ten Sovereigns will be given at the Meeting at Derby to 
each Exhibitor whose Wheat has been selected for trial. 
*^* No variety of Wheat which has been selected for trial at any previous 
show shall be qualified to compete.
