A. Youth must be enrolled in the World of Flowers and/or Annual Flowers projects to exhibit a maximum of FOUR (4) entries per person in classes G-770-1 through G 770-44 (cut flowers) plus one per exhibit number in classes G-770-50 through G-770-53 (notebooks and posters). Exhibits are limited to ONE EXHIBIT PER EXHIBIT CLASS NUMBER. Notebooks and posters must receive purple ribbon at the county fair to advance to the State Fair.

B. The cultivar or variety name must be included on all entry cards. Failure to identify the cultivar or variety will drop the entry one ribbon placing. Proper identification is the responsibility of the exhibitor not the Extension staff or office personnel. For Floriculture, punch hole in the top center of entry tag, use a rubber band to securely attach entry tag to containers.

C. Exhibits entered under an incorrect class number or containing an incorrect number of stems will be dropped one ribbon placing. A perennial is defined as a plant of which the crown overwinters. An annual is a plant that grows from seed each season, whether self-seeded or planted by the gardener. A biennial is a plant that germinates, grows and overwinters as a crown, blooms the following year and dies. Foliage will be considered when exhibit is judged.

D. Cut Flowers: All 3 or 5 stems of cut flowers should be the same cultivar and color, do not mix cultivars and colors. Containers will not be judged; however, they should be glass containers of a neutral color that won't tip over and of adequate size to display blooms. Score Sheet SF 106.
