The Electrode – Vol. 4. December, 1927 No. 12. – page 377

The first display quarterly judging was carried out by the judges (Messsrs. Lipscombe and Creswell) on the 4th of October, 1927, and the improvement since the commencement of the competition was apparent in every case. Mr. J. Adams received top marks, closely followed by Messrs. Powell, Phillips, Langridge, and Scott, with most of the others up round the 80 mark. It should be clearly understood that the first judging covered improvement and upkeep only. The growth, maturity, and condition of plants will be taken into consideration by the judges at the end of the year.
