ADVICE AND HELP FOR EXHIBITORS
FRUIT AND
VEGETABLES
It is a
fault to exhibit anything that is so overgrown as to be coarse, or
which is too small to be useful. Mixing large and small specimens
weakens the exhibit.
Fruit
should be shown with natural bloom, with size being little above
average.
All
vegetables should be perfectly clean and fresh. Wash all roots and
tubers: do not scrub. Leave 75mm / 3in of tops of beets, carrots and
parsnips. Cut off roots from cabbage and lettuce. Do not over strip
outside leaves. Cut off leaves from rhubarb 50mm / 2in above main
sticks.
Size alone
will not win prizes. Due regard should be paid to colour, freshness
and uniformity.
FLOWERS
Roses
should conform with the rule of The Royal National Rose Society that
states:- "Artificial aid of any kind is strictly prohibited, with the
exception of wire or other supports which may only be used to keep the
blooms erect."
For
delphiniums, laterals may appear, but most meritorious are exhibits
having few laterals.
DAHLIA EXHIBITS
All dahlia
exhibits should be named (if possible) and may only be exhibited
according to the current classification of The National Dahlia
Society. Any named cultivar not so classified, or any unnamed cultivar
may be shown in the class appropriate to its form and size, but the
blooms (decorative, cactus or semi-cactus) MUST be in accordance with
the following specified metric sizes:-
Class
Dimensions of flowers (The National Dahlia Society's
Regulations are in mm only)
Giant
Blooms usually over 260mm (10.2in
approx.)
Large Blooms usually between 220 and
260mm (8.6 to 10.2in approx.)
Medium Blooms usually between 170 and 220mm (6.7
to 8.6 in approx.)
Small Blooms usually between 115
and 170mm (4.5
to 6.7in approx.)
Miniature Blooms up to 115mm (4.5in
approx.)
Pompom Blooms must not exceed 52mm (2in approx.)
Small ball Blooms usually between 115 and
170mm (4.5 to 6.7in approx.)
Miniature ball
Blooms up to 115mm (4.5in approx.)
A bloom
exceeding the maximum diameter will disqualify an exhibit.
DOMESTIC CLASSES
For jam, jelly,
marmalade and chutney, pectin should not be added. Clean jars should
be used. Labels should be 25mm / 1in up from the bottom of the jar.
Fill jars to the top and apply a waxed disc before covering. Chutney
must have an airtight top, but no metal lid. Commercially branded jars
or lids must not be used. All exhibits must be cold when staged and
should be covered with clear film as appropriate.
Exhibits
should adhere to the size prescribed in the schedule.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Exhibits
of flowers, fruit and vegetables should indicate, wherever possible,
the name of the variety on a separate label. Failure to do this when
required may lose marks.
After
staging an exhibit check to ensure that it is in accordance with the
Schedule and in the correct Class.
Place your
exhibit card face down in front of the exhibit.
A guide for new exhibitors at the Society is available from the Secretary,
via a member of the Committee or from our website
