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 />
