FLORICULTURE RULES<br />
1. The exhibitor must grow all floriculture/horticulture<br />
entries.<br />
2. Stem length and strength should be cut in<br />
proportion to the size of the bloom. Wedges<br />
may be used to hold the exhibit at the correct<br />
pose.<br />
3. All plant foliage must be attached to specimen.<br />
No foreign substance is permitted on plant foliage.<br />
4. All one bloom, round form exhibits are shown<br />
disbudded. (i.e. Zinnia, Daisy, etc.)<br />
Spike forms are single stalks in which bottom<br />
florets usually bloom first. The specimen<br />
should display 2/3 open florets and 1/3 buds<br />
and developing flowers to give pleasing balance.<br />
A proportion of 2/3 of the total exhibit<br />
should be the inflorescence (i.e. Snapdragon,<br />
Larkspur).<br />
Spray forms are a single stem with blooms<br />
borne on pedicels or lateral branches led by a<br />
terminal bloom, which blooms first (i.e.<br />
Columbine, Plumed Celosia)<br />
5. Rose specimens should be named if possible,<br />
on the entry tag. Correct variety name should<br />
be included on all floriculture entries, but lack<br />
of name will not disqualify entry nor remove it<br />
from “Best of Show” contention.<br />

glass container for each exhibit. No containers<br />
will be available at the flower show.<br />
