DIVISION G - FLOWER DEPARTMENT

Superintendent: Mavis Lage

Entry hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., July 29, 2009.  Judging starts at 6 pm.  You are invited to watch the judging and quietly listen to the comments.

 

1.  All flowers must be grown and entered by the exhibitor, including flowers used in arrangements.  Make sure you enter the number of specimens requested.  Containers will be supplied for all cut flowers, but containers and accessories for arrangements must be provided by the exhibitor.

2.  For best display, condition all flowers.  Cut your flowers early in the morning using a sharp knife, cut on a slant, place immediately in warm water, and place in a cool area away from any drafts to harden.  Cut stems as long as possible, leaving foliage for a natural effect, but remove all foliage that will be below the water line on the container.  Stems will sticky sap should be singed on the cut edge or sealed by placing lower end of stem in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.  Woody stems should be crushed to increase water intake during display.

3.  Cut flowers should be uniform in size, shape and color.  Remove soil, bruised leaves and petals, or any sign of disease or insect damage.  Please label plants and give varieties if possible.

4.  Glads should be straight of stem showing 1/3 open, 1/3 showing color and 1/3 buds.  The use of a prop to hold larger flowers upright makes for better exhibit. 

5.  May enter up to 2 entries per lot.

 

Grand Champion Ribbons will be awarded to the top exhibit in each Class.  These ribbons will be furnished by the Lake Region Garden Club.

 

Country Fields Greenhouse, Detroit Lakes, will give a $15.00 gift certificate to the winner of the Sweepstakes Award.  Two points for a white ribbon, three points for a red ribbon, five points for a blue ribbon, ten points for a Champion ribbon.

 

Lake Region Garden Club will also give a $10.00 gift certificate as a memorial for their deceased members of their club.  This year the award will be for the Potted Plants.
