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.� Only fresh, home-grown flowers can be used in the vase. No dried or silk flowers are

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 Ellastone Top Vase class is open for anyone to enter and is not intended purely

for growers who regularly display single species classes at shows.� Judges should use their discretion when judging the Top Vase class, bearing in mind

that entries may come from inexperienced exhibitors.� Judges should 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.
