RULES FOR HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITS

 

ENTRIES

4.

All classes are open to anyone who grows daffodils except where specified otherwise.

5.

An exhibitor may make as many entries as desired in any class provided each entry is a different cultivar or species or an entirely different collection of cultivars and/or species.

6.

All blooms in the Horticultural Division except the ADS Challenge classes must have been grown in the open by the exhibitor. Miniatures and daffodils grown and shown in their containers may be grown in protected areas.

7.

Wedging material and containers for cut flower exhibits will be furnished by the show committee. Except for daffodils grown and shown in their containers, no daffodil foliage is permitted.

8.

All collections of five or more stems must be exhibited with each cultivar or species in a separate container.

 

LABELING

9.

Each cultivar or species must be correctly labeled with its name (or number) and division. The originator’s name must appear on the label in American bred classes except seedlings shown by the originator. The originator is the person who first flowered the bulb regardless of who made the cross and/or planted the seed.

10.

Exhibits that are not named or are incorrectly named will not be judged. Correct classification and labeling shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor.

11.

No label may be changed, specimen added, removed, altered, or substituted after judging has begun or after an award has been placed.

 

INTERMEDIATES, MINIATURES, AND SEEDLINGS

12.

An intermediate daffodil is a standard daffodil in divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, or 11 having a single floret whose diameter is typically greater than 50 mm through 80 mm. Intermediate daffodils may be entered in classes for standard daffodils as well as classes reserved for intermediate daffodils.

13.

Miniature daffodils may be shown only in classes for miniatures. A miniature daffodil is any cultivar on the current ADS Approved List of Miniatures. Also, any named, numbered, or species daffodil which appears graceful, with all its parts proportionately small, may be exhibited in Miniatures classes and is eligible for all ADS awards, except that only numbered seedlings shown by the originator are eligible for the ADS Miniature Rose Ribbon. The judges may decline to judge any exhibit containing an unapproved miniature that they consider too large for these classes

14.

Blooms of seedlings may be exhibited in all classes for named cultivars. ALL SEEDLINGS MUST BE IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER DESIGNATION ASSIGNED BY THE ORIGINATOR. If the exhibitor is not the originator, the name of the originator must be included as part of the identification.

 

AWARDS

15.

Each stem in an exhibit of cut flowers receiving an ADS Award must score 90 or more on the appropriate ADS Scale of Points.

16.

Only one first, one second, and one third award may be given in each class. Honorable mention awards may also be given if merited but only if first, second, and third have been awarded. First, second, third, and honorable mention awards may be withheld by the judges if in their opinion the exhibit is not worthy. If a blue ribbon (first place) has been awarded in a class eligible for an ADS ribbon, the ADS Award may not be withheld.

17.

The decision of the judges is final. If an error is discovered in an exhibit after completion of judging, any award placed thereon (ADS, Special, or Ribbon) shall be forfeited by the exhibitor. If an error is discovered before the judging is completed, the class must be rejudged.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

18.

The Show Committee reserves the right to subdivide classes by cultivar or color code when there are three or more worthy exhibits of the same cultivar or color code and if a sufficient number of worthy exhibits is left in the class. Species may be subdivided by their botanical sections.

19.

The Royal Horticultural Society System of Classification will be used. The labeling authority is the current version of DaffSeek (Daffseek.org) or Daffodils to Show and Grow as amended each year in the December issue of The Daffodil Journal.

20.

In the class descriptions, the words “pink cup,” etc. define classes where that color is solid, 2W-P, or present in two adjacent zones, 2W-GPP. The words “pink in cup,” etc. are used for classes that include both solid and rimmed cups of the same color. “Colored” is any color but white.  A reverse bicolor has a predominantly yellow perianth and a predominantly white cup where “predominantly” means at least two adjacent zones must be coded the designated color.

21.

Blooms in the ADS Challenge section will not be considered for awards other than for their respective class and for the ADS W. A. Bender Ribbon.
