Exhibits will be received Tuesday, October 1, 2024 from 2 to 8 p.m. at CrossNet Ministries on Franklin Street. Entries must be removed Saturday evening, October 5, 2024 between 8 and 10 p.m. Basis for Judging ALL FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE MUST BE GROWN BY THE EXHIBITOR. EXCEPTIONS IN SECTION 700 Plants that have been previously judged are not eligible to compete. HORTICULTURE EXHIBITS: Uniformity of Color, Size for the Variety and Condition of the Foliage and Flower. FLORAL DESIGN EXHIBITS: Conformance to Class, Artistic Design, Color, Harmony and Expression. Suggestions for Exhibitors 1. Specimen flowers should have straight, sturdy stems and the flowers should be at their prime. A bud showing color counts as a bloom. Plant material should be as nearly perfect as possible. Endeavor to use plenty of foilage from the flowers. 2. All debris, spray residue, insects, spent flowers, old fruit and berries and injured foliage should be removed. Diseased or infested entries will not be permitted. Foilage below the water level must be removed. 3. Extra large and bushy potted plants cannot be received; they should be no larger than 36 inches in diameter and 18 inches in height. 4. CONTAINERS: Pots for potted plants are not to exceed 10 inches. Containers should harmonize with the plant, be clean, free of cracks and chips. Horticulture specimens are to be entered in clear glass containers (not colored glass). Leaves should not be below the water level. 4. Floral arrangements should not show the mechanics (oasis, structural materials). Exception: Ikebana arrangements. 5. No exhibitor may enter more than one specimen for competition in any class, otherwise they will be disqualified. 6. Clear bubble wrap may be used at the neck of the vase to stabilize the specimen. 7. No cut fresh fruit or vegetables will be permitted in any of the exhibits. MAXIMUM CARE WILL BE TAKEN OF THE CONTAINERS AND ACCESSORIES UNTIL THEY CAN BE RECLAIMED BY THE EXHIBITORS.
