23Hints to Exhibitors
Read the schedule carefully, especially that part relating to the classes you are entering. Do
not leave submission of your entry form to the last moment. Note the different times given on
the entry form for submitting entries.
Remember to give yourself plenty of time to stage your exhibit.
On arrival at the show tent, get your entry cards from the responsible officials and stage your
exhibit for the particular class in the space on the table. Do not interfere in any way with the
exhibits already staged by other exhibitors. If you have a problem, seek the help of a Steward.
Take care to avoid any of your entries being judged “N.A.S.” (Not According to Schedule)
and thus disqualified.
Do not use too many flowers for arrangements in vases – effect should be the aim of the
exhibitor, each bloom should be clearly seen. Stage flowers with their foliage. Wherever
foliage is used in any exhibit it must be of its own kind, e.g. do not use gladioli leaves with
dahlias, or asparagus fern with sweet peas.
Arrangements for effect may be considered except where a definite number of blooms, spikes
or sprays are stated.
Hanging baskets may include wire-framed baskets or plastic self-watering bowls.
In fruit and vegetable classes, aim at uniformity of size and remember that large and coarse
specimens do not usually win prizes. Do not polish apples or remove stalks from fruit.
Remove only the loose outer skin of onions. All roots should be washed.
Note the difference in the words “kind” and “variety” (or cultivar).
KIND Apples, pears, plums are distinct KINDS of fruit;
Peas, beans, cabbages, are distinct KINDS of vegetables.
Roses, violas, sweet peas, are distinct KINDS of flowers.
VARIETY Cox’s Orange Pippin, Newton Wonder, Lanes Prince Albert are distinct
(CULTIVAR) VARIETIES of apples; Showgirl, Peace, Virgo are distinct
VARIETIES of roses; Onward, Little Marvel, Peter Pan are distinct
VARIETIES of peas.
Be clear on your understanding of the definitions.
Annual: A plant which naturally and ordinarily begins and ends its growth, seeds, and dies
(irrespective of frost) within 1 year.
Biennial: A plant which ordinarily requires two seasons to complete its life cycle: growing
one year, flowering, seeding and dying the next year.
Perennial: A plant which lasts many years. Includes trees and shrubs, plants which grow from
bulbs, corms and tubers, and in fact all plants that are not annuals or biennials.
Herbaceous Perennials: Last for many years and have flower stems which yearly die down
to the ground but rootstocks which remain alive throughout the dormant season. For garden
purposes, the word “rootstock” includes all bulbs, corms and tubers.
Bowl: A vessel for displaying cut flowers in water or for growing bulbous plants and
having a mouth width measurement at least equal to, but usually greater than, its height.
Vase: A vessel for displaying cut flowers in water and having a greater height than
the width measurement of its mouth.
POT PLANTS – These should have been in ownership for at least two months.
