Class 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 
prize winning if it is not in good condition, clean, properly 
potted, and free from insect pests. First prize, a silver medal; 
second prize, a bronze medal; third prize, a certificate of hon- 
orable mention. 
Class G — Best Bunch of Flowers. Judged on perfection of the 
flowers and taste in arrangement. First prize in this class is 
a silver medal; second prize, a bronze medal; third prize, a 
certificate of honorable mention. 
Class H — Individual Garden Display. The greatest variety of 
flowers or vegetables raised by one child constitutes this dis- 
play. Here is an opportunity to show some originality and 
taste in the way you put together and arrange your own exhibit. 
Let us have more exhibits in this class this year. First prize, a 
silver prize; second prize, a bronze medal; third prize, a certifi- 
cate of honorable mention. 
Class I— Weed Display. This weed exhibit may be one of either 
fresh or pressed specimens. No exhibit can take a prize unless 
the specimens are carefully and correctly named. If you go away 
to the country in the summer you will have a good opportunity 
to make a large collection of weeds and wild flowers for the 
exhibit. First prize is a silver medal; second prize, a bronze 
medal; and certificates of honorable mention will be awarded 
to those taking third places. 
Class J— Wild Flowers. Similar to C/ass /. First prize, a 
silver medal; second prize, a bronze medal; third prize, certifi- 
cates of honorable mention.
