Henry Shaw Cactus Society 66 th Annual Show and Sale, 2008 Entry Forms Pots The entry form is a two-part carbonless form. When you submit your Entry Form, the Show Chair will give you your Entry Number. If you have changes to your entries later on, contact the Show Chair so display space can be reallocated. In the Decorative Section, we measure containers by their largest external dimension the container s width or depth. In all other Sections, we measure pots by their inside dimension, a measurement that does not include the rim. See the diagrams below. There is a quarter inch allowance in measuring pots. Round Pots: Oval Pots: Rectangular & Square Pots: Measure from Measure from Measure from inside to inside. inside to inside, inside to inside, across the longest across the longest side. side. Plant Labels Staging Supports, Trellises Top Dressing In the Decorative Section, plant labels are not allowed. In the Junior Decorative Classes, plant labels are not allowed. In the Bonsai and Habitat Staging Classes, plant labels are not allowed. However, the plant s name must be on both sides of the entry card. All other plants must have a legible label with a correct botanical name. This label should be legible, clean, and easy to read from the front of the show table. Replace growers' labels with your own. Faded, dirty, and grungy labels are not acceptable. Plants in Group of Classes will have similar labels. All plants must be presented to enhance the quality and uphold the reputation of our show. Staging should reflect your efforts in culture as well as in staging. Do not display your plants with the pots and labels that accompanied the plants when purchased unless they are indeed worthy of display. Plants may be supported when necessary. Supports should be tasteful and inconspicuous. Top dressing is required to aesthetically improve the appearance of the plant on display. Artificially colored top dressing may be used only in the Decorative Section. Plants in Group of Classes will be dressed similarly. Passing Standards On Friday evening, all plants entered in the show will be reviewed by at least two Passing Judges. They will ensure that each plant adheres to show rules and the standards of the Henry Shaw Cactus Society. Fancy plants and fancy pots are not required. Rather, our objective is to ensure a high quality show. Passing Judges will remove non-conforming plants from the show. Passing Judges may move an entry to a correct class.

Henry Shaw Cactus Society 66 th Annual Show and Sale, 2008 Entry Cards This card identifies your entry to the judges and to the public. Each entry in a class must have a card. If you have two entries in a class, then each entry must have its own card. If you are entering a Collection Of or Group Of class, then all the plants in that collection get a single card. The Front of the Card: Your Name (age) 22 109 Your name goes in the Exhibitor spot. In the Junior Section, the child s age also goes here. You received your Entry Number when you turned-in your Entry Form. Class Number identifies the class where the plant is entered. Class Name is optional. Plant Name is required in the Bonsai and Habitat Staging Classes. In other classes, Plant Name is optional. Having a name on the card helps keep the public s hands out of your pot. Dish Garden Themes are required in the Decorative Section, Dish Garden Classes. 22 109 Below the Perforation: Repeat your Entry Number and Class Number here.

They will put their initials here. Leave this section empty. It is for the Judges. Judging The point scale, which the judges will use to critique this year s show, has been slightly modified beginning with this year s show. From a practical standpoint, all we did was update the terminology to conform to current usage. The practical application of this scale is basically the same, focusing on the condition of the plant, its staging, proper identification and difficulty or rarity in cultivation. Plant Condition - 60 points This will include the overall presentation and appearance of the plant. The goal here, while rarely achieved, is cultural excellence in regards to shape, color and form of the plant. Making sure that your plant appears healthy, has good spination (no broken spines), good color, good form (no etiolation) and is insect and scar free will help you score well in this category. Maturity is also considered here and is weighed relative to the potential growth rates of each species. Page 4 of 30, as of 05.27.2008

Henry Shaw Cactus Society 66 th Annual Show and Sale, 2008 Staging - 20 points Nomenclature - 10 points This represents the overall presentation of the show plant. Using a clean pot which is the correct size for the plant (no over or under potting), clean and appropriate topdressing, a well groomed plant as well as the actual positioning of the plant in the pot is what should be addressed here. Bonsai pots and other ornamental containers may offer more to enhance the staging of the plant if used correctly. Yet, these pots are not necessary for a great presentation. It is easy to overpower the plant with fancy pots. Ordinary clay and plastic pots, if clean and unscarred, are less expensive and work just fine. You must have the correct identification of your plant written legibly on the label. The label should be located so it is readable for the judges. They can often be discretely positioned behind the plant where they remain visible yet do not take away from the staging of the plant. If you are unsure of the exact species you are showing, put the genus and then sp. on the label. This will get you some credit for this category. Where there have been recent revisions in the nomenclature regarding the correct name of the plant, both the old and new names will be accepted by the judges. Rarity/Difficulty in Cultivation 10 points This category, in the past, has been associated with Plant Condition, giving extra credit points to plants that are difficult to grow as well as acquire. We have given this category its own heading this year to encourage a more fair comparison in the above Plant Condition category regardless of rareness or difficulty to grow. This category will be used more as a tiebreaker, all else being equal. Some plants are much more challenging to grow well and should be given more weight in the judging process. By making this category worth only 10 points, we hope to encourage more members to enter their plants that are not hard to acquire or difficult to grow. Awards Class Ribbons First-Time Exhibitor Special Awards Entries in each class may be awarded First Place, Second Place, Third Place, or Honorable Mention Ribbons. In the Decorative Section, only one First, Second, and Third Place Ribbon may be awarded in each class. In other sections, the judges may choose to grant more than one First, Second, and Third Place Ribbon in a class. In all sections, more than one entry may receive an Honorable Mention Ribbon. Judges may opt to grant no ribbons in a class. One First-Time Exhibitor Ribbon is awarded to each member entering the show for the First time. The Judges may grant one Special Award to acknowledge the best entry in a group of classes. To be eligible to receive a Special Award, an entry must have received a Blue Ribbon in its class.
