making the best display, to be held for a year only, or until won 
three times, when it becomes the permanent property of thewin-

Board of Education, gardens under the supervision of the Park 
Department, or community gardens under the supetvisicn of a 
paid instructor. The first prize in this exhibit is a silver cup; 
the second prize a silver cup.
