“G.W.” Name Competition. 
No. 2. 
AWARD OF PRIZES. 
The second competition proved quite 
as interesting as the first. In endeavour¬ 
ing, however, to make it a little easier for 
the competitors, we made it a little more 
difficult for ourselves, and the work of 
adjudication covered a much longer 
period than in the previous case. The 
number of ties was so great that we had 
to call upon competitors to reply to a fur¬ 
ther series of questions. In the whole 
competition not a single competitor 
answered all the questions correctly. The 
following are the correct answers to the 
questions:— 
1. Star of Bethlehem. 
2. Lady’s Mantle. 
3. Lyre. 
4. Cabbage. 
5. Birch. 
6. Lime. 
7. Pear. 
8. Orange. 
9. York and Lancaster Rose. 
10. Marigold. 
11. Almond. 
12. Ash. 
13. Hollyhock. 
14. Penny Cress. 
15. Pme. 
16. Brandy Bottle or Yellow Water Lily. 
In order to avoid further competition 
with ties, we have increased the money 
prizes, and also the number of prizes, re¬ 
ducing the awards of books. 
The prizes are awarded as follows :— 
First Prize, ^3. 
First Prize, £1 in cash and £2 to be 
spent with any advertiser or advertisers 
in the Gardening World of seeds,
