Rules for Judging and Suggestions to Schedule-Makers, Judges,& Exhibitors

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is not suggested that the Rules now proposed can be regarded as final. Doubtless, experience will suggest, and the inevitable modification of essential conditions will, from time to time, compel, amendment of the Code. It is, however, hoped that the following Rules and Suggestions may be in themselves of some general use, and also form the beginning and basis of a Code which may before long be arrived at, which will be regarded as authoritative by reason of the universality of its adoption. The Council of the Royal Horticultural Society will be glad to receive suggestions of improvements and emendations, and a note of any omissions, for the correction of future editions. Very great difficulty has been experienced in arriving at any distinct conclusion with regard to the words kind and variety the Brassica Family Hardy Plants and the term Amateur and it is not pretended that the results even now are in all respects quite satisfactory.
