RULES FOR EXHIBITORS
1. All classes open to anyone who

2. An exhibitor may make
as many entries as desired in any single stem class provided each entry is a different cultivar or species. Exhibitors are
limited to one entry in collection classes.
3. All blooms in the Horticultural
Section must have been grown in the open by the exhibitor. All blooms in the Horticultural Division must have been
grown in the open by the exhibitor. Exception: Miniatures may be grown in protected areas.
4. Entries will be accepted between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 29th. All exhibitors must be off the
floor by 10:15 a.m. No exhibit will be accepted after this hour. This rule will be strictly enforced. Entries
must be removed from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 30th.
LABELING
5. The exhibitor shall place an entry card, properly filled out, with the name and RHS color
code on each exhibit. Any information on any entry tag, including the exhibitor's number, which could compromise the
anonymity of the exhibitor must be concealed during judging. Entry cards, wedging material and containers for specimens will
be furnished by the Show Committee. No daffodil foliage permitted.
6.
All collections of five should be exhibited in blocks of five. Larger collections may be displayed at the discretion of the
exhibitor. Each cultivar or species must be in a separate container. Each cultivar and/or species must be correctly labeled
with name and RHS color code. Originator's name must appear, except seedlings shown by the originator, on
labels in Classes 238, 262, 274, and 275.
7. Exhibits that are not named or
are incorrectly named will not be judged, with the exception of entries in section H. Correct classification
and labeling shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor. No label may be changed, specimen added, removed, altered or substituted
after judging has begun or after an award has been placed.
8. Royal Horticultural Society System
of Classification will be used. Authority: Daffodils to Show and Grow supplemented by the latest printout of the ADS
Data Bank.
MINIATURES
9. Miniature daffodils named in the
most recent ADS approved List of Miniatures, with any official additions thereto, may be shown only in classes for miniatures.
Any named or numbered diminutive daffodil flower that appears graceful with all its parts in proportion may be entered in
miniature classes, however, entries not on the approved list, may be declined to be judged by the judges if in their opinion,
the blooms do not conform to miniature standards. Only seedlings exhibited by the originator are eligible for the ADS Miniature
Rose Ribbon.
SMALL GROWERS
10. The Small Growers Section is open to
anyone growing 50 or fewer standard cultivars or species.
INTERMEDIATES
11. 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 and through 80 mm). Intermediate daffodils may be entered
in classes for standard daffodils as well as classes for intermediate daffodils.
SEEDLINGS
12. 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. The originator of a daffodil is the person who first flowers the bulb, regardless
of who made the cross and/or first planted the seed. Only seedlings shown by the originator are eligible for the Rose or Miniature
Rose Ribbon.
AWARDS
13. 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. Any or all awards will be withheld by judges if, in their opinion there
are no worthy exhibits in a class.
14. Each stem in an exhibit receiving an ADS Award must score 90
points or more by the ADS Scale of Points. If a blue ribbon has been awarded in a class eligible for an ADS Ribbon, the ADS
Award may not be withheld.
15. 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, Ribbon) shall be forfeited by the exhibitor.
If an error is discovered in an exhibit before the judging is completed, the class must be re-judged.
16. The miniature gold ribbon will be chosen by the panel of judges who judged all miniatures.
17.
Each judge will pick one bloom from any eligible entry in the show to bring to the head table to be voted on for the gold
ribbon.
18. There will be a vote by written ballot eliminating blooms after each vote until an overwhelming
majority is reached to determine the gold ribbon winner.
19. The Section A winner will be chosen by
the panel of judges who judged section A after the gold ribbon winner has been chosen. If the gold
ribbon winner is chosen from section A, then this bloom is also by default the Section A winner.
MISCELLANEOUS
20. The Show Committee reserves the right to subdivide classes where
there are three or more worthy exhibits of the same cultivar or color code. However, the class should not be subdivided if
there is not a sufficient number of worthy exhibits left in the class. Species May Be Subdivided By Their Botanical Sections.
21. Photographing exhibits will NOT be permitted until judging is completed.
