6 Page 11 Page 6 GARDEN NEWS TOP VASE COMPETITION RULES 2017 Sponsored by Mr. Fothergill s The Top Vase class is for a vase of mixed flowering stems containing a total of between 5 and 10, taken from a minimum of two different kinds of plants. Please note that it is two different KINDS of plants, two varieties of the same plant are NOT two kinds. The display is judged out of a total of 35 points, split into: 25 points for the colour, form, condition, quality and freshness of the flowers on display, and 10 points for the overall presentation and effect of the flowers in the vase. The vase will be viewed from all directions. Judging of flowers should be to the normal rules used for other classes. Stems used in the display must be showing flowers only; no seed-heads or berries will be allowed. The vase can be any shape and size and made from any material, but must be in proportion to the display. No marks are awarded for the vase itself. No accessories such as bows and additional foliage will be allowed. Foliage which is growing naturally from the flowering stem, and still attached to that stem is allowed. Packing material - including florists foam - to keep the stems in place is allowed. The winner of the Garden News Top Vase class will receive a GN Certificate plus 10 worth of Mr Fothergill s vouchers. The runner up will receive a 5 Mr Fothergill s voucher, third place will receive a 3 Mr Fothergill s voucher. These vouchers are to be used by December 31st 2017 for seeds via mail order only. (Vouchers cannot be redeemed for non-seed items or in conjunction with the additional Allotment Club and Garden Club Service discount). NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES Flowering stems can be taken from ANY flowering plant. The different kinds of plants need to be taken from different genera. For instance, pinks, carnations and sweet william - which are all dianthus - would not be classed as different kinds. Use only fresh, home-grown flowers. No dried or silk flowers allowed. A vase, by definition, is any vessel that can be used to hold cut flowers and which is taller than it is wide at its widest point. The Garden News Top Vase class is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely for growers who regularly display in single species classes at shows. Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Vase bearing in mind that the may come from inexperienced exhibitors. Please note that the display has to be viewed all round. The points awarded should be clearly marked by the judges on the exhibitors cards. Any queries that may arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to, and decided by, the show officials. Failure to abide by any of these rules will lead to disqualification. GARDEN NEWS TOP TRAY COMPETITION RULES 2017 Sponsored by D. T.

All vegetables are to be displayed for effect. The vegetables must be displayed within an area measuring 45 cm by 60 cm (18 x 24 ), without bending any part of them. No part of any exhibit may exceed the size of the tray. A tray or board measuring 45 cm by 60 cm (18 x 24 ) can be used to display the vegetables, or an area can simply be marked on the staging. Where a tray has a lip or edge, it is the internal measurements that must not exceed 45 cm x 60 cm (18 x 24 ). A black cloth is permitted, and the tray may be painted. Parsley is allowed for garnishing, but no other foliage or accessories, such as plates, sand, rings and so on, will be allowed. Onion tops may be tied or whipped using raffia or string. The winner of the Garden News Top Tray class will receive a GN certificate plus 10 worth of D. T. Brown vouchers. The runner up will receive a 5 D. T. Brown voucher, third place will receive a 3 D. T. Brown voucher. These vouchers are to be used by December 31st 2017, for seeds via mail order only. (Vouchers cannot be redeemed for non-seed items or in conjunction with the additional Gardening Club s discount). NOTES FOR EXHIBITORS AND JUDGES Carrots and Parsnips must have foliage trimmed back to 7.5 cm (3"). Peas and beans must be displayed with some stalk attached. Tomatoes must be displayed with calyces (the green flower bud case). Judges may handle exhibits, open pods etc to check for quality.

Any queries that may arise, regarding anything other than the above rules, should be referred to, and decided by, the show officials. Failure to abide by any of these rules will lead to disqualification.
