citrus fruits. They will be of great as
sistance to the judge who will pass on
such fruits. The committee on awards
OF the exposition have recently decided
that one expert will do the judging, and
the exhibits will compete for merit only
and not one against another.

merit and bronze medals. On the certi-
ficate will be inscribed the particular
qualities of the exhibit.
