CXXX11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
VIII. One prize only can be awarded to any exhibitor in any class, except 
those for Miscellaneous Subjects and Xew Plants. 
The Judges hare the right of withholding the prize where specimens may be 
considered unworthy of it, in order to prevent an inferior collection obtaining 
an award. 
The Judges will be at liberty to add to the number of prizes specified, in 
cases of very decided merit, so long as they do not exceed the total amount 
offered in each class. 
IX. All specimens must be the Iona fide property of the exhibitor or his 
master, or they will not be eligible to compete for the prizes. At least one 
month’s previous possession will be considered requisite to constitute ownership, 
except in well-ascertained cases of plants newly imported. 
X. The decision of the Judges is final. Any prize fraudulently obtained 
will be forfeited, and will be awarded to the prize-holder immediately suc¬ 
ceeding in the class. 
Seedling Flowers exhibited as novelties must be named. 
_ XI. Exhibitors’ pass-tickets will be furnished as follows:— 
Classes containing 9 plants and upwards ; for first collection, 3 passes, and 
1 for each additional collection. 
Classes containing 6 plants and upwards; for first collection, 2 passes, 
and 1 for each additional collection. 
X.B.—In classes where the plants are small, the numbers of tickets given 
will be reduced, and no ticket will be given for a single Specimen Plant, 
or a single dish of Fruit. 
Xo exhibitor can take more than 6 passes. 
Breakfast Tickets will be issued in equal numbers with the passes.

time all specimens will be given up to their owners, or to such persons as 
may be authorized to receive them.
