SECTION III. 
COMMITTEE ON NOMENCLATURE. 
Buie 1 . — It shall be the duty of the president, at the first session of the society, on 
the first day of an exhibition of fruits, to appoint a committee of five expert pomolo- 
gists whose duty it shall be to supervise the nomenclature of the fruits on exhibi- 
tion, and in case of error to correct the same. 
Buie 2 . — In making the necessary corrections they shall, for the convenience of 
the examining and awarding committees, do the same at as early a period as prac- 
ticable, and in making such corrections they shall use cards readily distinguishable 
from those used as labels by exhibitors, appending a mark of doubtfulness in case 
of uncertainty. 
SECTION IV. 
EXAMINING AND AWARDING COMMITTEES. 
Buie 1 . — In estimating the comparative values of collections of fruits committees 
are instructed to base such estimates strictly upon the varieties in such collections 
which shall have been correctly named by the exhibitor prior to action thereon by 
the committee on nomenclature. 
Buie 2 . — In instituting such comparison of values committees are instructed to 
consider : First, the values of the varieties for the purposes to which they may be 
adapted; second, the color, size, and evenness of the specimens; third, their freedom 
from the marks of insects, and other blemishes; fourth, the apparent carefulness in 
handling, and the taste displayed in the arrangement of the exhibit.
