We have for a number of years offered a large sum of money for competition amongst our customers, at various 
Horticultural Exhibitions throughout the country, mostly for the best Collection of Vegetables. It has sometimes been found 
difficult to clearly understand what Vegetables should or should not be included, and the point has led to discussion, and 
often disappointment. 
In view of this, we propose to offer these Cash Prizes during the coming season under a new system, which we hope 
will have general approval, both from the managers of Shows as well as the exhibitors. Our offer will take the following form : 
MESSRS. CARTERS* CASH PRIZES FOR 1898 . 
JAMES CARTER & CO., The Queen’s Seedsmen, of 237, 238, 246, & 97, High Holborn, London, undertake, upon 
being furnished with authentic evidence from the Manager or Secretary of any of the Horticultural Societies mentioned 
below, to duplicate all First, Second, or Third Money Awards made to Exhibitors who show the products of Seeds, Potatoes, 
or Bulbs, from purchases above 10s. in value made direct from Messrs. Carters’ establishment during the twelve months 
ending June 30th, 1898. These said products to be of the Exhibitor’s own growth, and in case of any dispute the copy of 
Invoice may be required. Otherwise the goods are to be staged in accordance with the regulations of the Society, and only in those 
classes that are open. Special prizes offered by Firms and individuals will not be considered. 
Customers’ intending to claim the advantages of these Special Prizes must notify the fact to us a fortnight before the, 
day of the Show, stating the variety or varieties of Vegetables, Potatoes, or Flowers they intend to exhibit, when we will send 
neatly printed cards which must be exposed to view on the exhibit during the whole time of the Exhibition. No other placards 
except the official cards of the Society will be permitted. 
If this offer does not appear in the Prize Schedules of the Horticultural Shows mentioned below, our offer must be 
considered cancelled, unless some special arrangements are made direct between us and our customer two weeks before the exhibit 
is staged. 
Example. — If 20s., 10s., and 5s. are offered by the Society as Prizes for, say, the best dish of Peas, James Carter & Co. will award an equal amount if their customer 
gains one or other of them, and has carried out the above conditions. 
These Prizes are open to Amateurs and Gentlemen’s Gardeners only, Market Gardeners, Seedsmen’s Agents, &e., not eligible.
