ment (winter 1892-93), and no person is allowed to send in more than one list of 
prize names.

Third. All competitors for these prizes must use a separate sheet of paper

“Competition for Prize Peaches,” with the five names for peaches following, and 
then signed by the competitor, with full post-office address given.

lmrticulturists appointed for the purpose, to whom the names of the competitors 
will not be divulged. The names of the prize winners will be announced to all com¬ 
petitors during the coming summer (1893). The shipment of the prizes (winner’s 
selection of varieties) will be made in the winter of 1893-94, as the list of competi¬ 
tors will not be completed in time to make the awards the present season.

ing is when peaches are in demand — after the earliest varieties have been marketed
