Horticultural Exhibits Items must be grown by the exhibitor.

Exhibitors are advised to read the Horticultural Judging Standards available at the Manitoba

Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives office carefully regarding the preparation of exhibits.

Class C - Flowers Some definitions include:

STEM: a stem refers to the portion of the plant on which several or many separate florets in either dense or open clusters are produced. A stem does not have the uniform elongated ar-

rangement of the spike. Typical examples are sweet peas, clarkia, lily, salpiglossis.

SPIKE: a spike is a single, elongated flowering stem, having a large number of florets uniformly distributed along a central main axis. Examples are gladiolus, snapdragons, delphinium, salvia

and stock.

ARRANGEMENT: a good arrangement is one that makes use of texture, colour, proper balance of bloom and foliage, contract and harmony, and combines these into an attractive design. All wires, frogs, or other material used to hold up the flowers should be covered. Originality of the

arrangement is often a deciding factor in judging.

BLOOM: a bloom denotes one flower. For an effective bloom, a strong, well-developed stem is essential. Examples of a bloom are zinnia, rose, dahlia, scabiosa, marigold and carnation. Leaves should be left attached if exhibited with the bloom. Single bloom should have buds re-

moved. No additional filler or decoration.
