and all specimens must be sent by November 15, 1911.
In former years it has happened that several people from the same town have sent nuts from the same tree. Under these circumstances, if the nuts take a prize, the prize must be given according to the date of the first specimens sent.
In addition to the prizes given, valuable varieties receive the name of the person sending them, and this goes on record permanently.
The sender of these nuts will often have opportunity to sell cuttings from the tree later at the common rate of five cents per foot.
Prizes are offered for the following nuts:
1st prize is to be two dollars,
2nd prize is to be one dollar,
and the amount of postage will be returned for all lots of nuts sent which do not receive prizes.
