A carefully prepared catalogue was formulated more than a 
year ago, giving in detail a list of desirable exhibits. 
It was intended to be a guide to the exhibitor, and also to 
furnish definite information for the judges. It could not be 
printed and distributed, as it has only recently been determined 
what would be the character of the awards. 
The decision of the Committee on Awards relative to com- 
petition obviates the necessity of subdividing the classification. 
Duplicates of worthy varieties of fruits and plants in sufficient 
aumbers to fill the space will be allowed. 
The specific points of excellence of exhibits which will receive 
awards will be characterized by the inscription on the diplomas. 
The following rules are broad and liberal, yet require all 
exhibitors to make displays worthy of a great Exposition.
