Decision of the judges shall be final and the judges may withhold any award if in their opinion, it is not worthy.

All due care will be taken, but no responsibility will be assumed for loss or breakage,
All material to be home grown except when noted.
Helpful Hints for Preparing Materials Cut flowers and foliage the evening
before the show or in the early morning.
Flowers stay fresher and show better if there are no leaves in the container.
Make a fresh slanting cut at the end of the stems for maximum water intake.
Place in a wide bucket in deep warm water, preferably overnight.
Store in a dark, humid, draft-free place. Some cut flowers, foliage and woody
materials do not readily absorb water and require further treatment to prevent wilting. Woody branches may benefit from splitting cut ends and some need the thick outer layer removed as well.
Some cut flowers (e.g. poppies) benefit from burning the stem ends while others benefit by placing stem ends in boiling water or from chemicals in the water. About 2 tbsp, of glycerin in 4L of water, or florists crystals may be beneficial. Details are also available in flower arranging books.
Removal of dust, stains and other foreign objects from blooms and foliage enhances the exhibit.
Re-cut stem ends before placing in show containers
