C/ass F— Best Special Plant. Any plant cared for by the exhib- 
itor may be entered. The plant may be a geranium raised from 
a cutting, an aster from a seed, a fern from a runner — it matters 
not so long as the work is yours. The plant stands no chance of

potted, and free from insect pests. First prize, a gold medal; 
second prize, a bronze medal; third prize, a certificate of 
honorable mention.
