DEFINITIONS Bloom: Individual flower terminating in a stem. Spike: Florets attached directly to the main axis at close intervals. Spray: Side-flowering growth consisting of one stem with or without a central flower. Stem: More than one flower carried by one stem and does not include a separate stem growing from the main stem.
HINTS FOR EXHIBITING FLOWERS ♦ Select flowers that are coming to full bloom, not flowers that are already in full bloom. ♦ If a flower is to remain fresh throughout the exhibit period, it must be cut no later than the day before it is to be exhibited. ♦ It is generally recognized that afternoon cutting is advisable especially late afternoon, at the time the greatest amount of sugar is in the leaves. As soon as the flowers are placed in water, they take up enough to overcome any apparent wilting. ♦ Placing stems in water 110 degrees is usually best: afterwards specimens should be placed in a cool room until the water comes to room temperature. ♦ Cut stems cleanly at an angle with a sharp knife and place at once in deep water. ♦ Flowers should be kept in deep water eight to twelve hours or overnight. Foliage below the water line should be removed. ♦ Flowers or branches with woody stems should be crushed or pounded before being placed in deep water. ♦ Any flower with a milky or colorless fluid in their stems may be seared with a flame or the stem end placed in boiling water several minutes. ♦ Protect the blossom end by wrapping in newspaper. Each exhibit is allowed two (2) stems, sprays, clusters, spikes per item. 35

Agriculture-Horticulture continued‌..‌
Emphasis among the factors of condition type and uniformity will vary among vegetables and fruit species. Stem length for displaying fruits and vegetables will vary; usually it does not add or subtract from the value of the vegetable. Careless harvesting can remove the stem and also take part of the flesh from the vegetable so leaving some of the stem may be important. If fruits and vegetables are to be displayed effectively they must be clean. Additional information can be obtained from you local Extension Office. Size is important to the extent that specimen should be large enough to be usable.
