Getting Horticulture and Floriculture ready for fair
Attention: All 4-H Exhibitors enrolled in Floriculture, House Plants, and Garden Projects
Read the rules for exhibiting long before the fair arrives. You will find that the rules require you to include the cultivar or variety name on your entry card. If you do not include the cultivar or variety name, your entry is dropped one ribbon placing. What is the cultivar or variety name and where do you find it? When you go to purchase your seeds and/or plants, the seed packet or container has a name on it. Example:
Tomato. There are hundreds of different cultivars or varieties of tomatoes. You need to look closely at the seed packet or plant container to see which variety or cultivar you have purchased:Beefsteak, Brandywine, Early Girl, Park’s Whopper, Celebrity, etc.
Cucumber – Burpless Beauty, Straight 8, Sweet Success, etc.
Green Beans – Tenderpick, Blue Lake, Big Kahuna, Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod, etc.
Zinnia – State Fair Mix, Purple Prince, Jazzy Mix, Cut & Come Again, Double Fire, etc.
Apples – Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Gala, Yellow Delicious, Jonathan, etc.
Oriental Lilies – Bonbini, Casa Blanca, Golden Star Gazer, Tiger Edition, etc.
You will notice that variety and cultivar names are usually English words. If the seed packet or plant container does not include the variety or cultivar name, do not purchase it. (It is rare that this information is absent.) HINT: Save seed packets and plant container markers. Ensure that you enter your exhibit in the correct class and then add the variety or cultivar name.
ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT
There is no longer a weight limit for container-grown houseplants, hanging baskets, dish gardens, desert gardens, and terrariums. The current rule states that container-grown plants must be in containers no greater than 12 inches in diameter (inside opening measurement).

The Premise ID is the location of where the individual or immediate family keeps their animals. If your farm has a Premise ID you don’t need a new one, just make sure that the Extension Office has it on file. Exhibitors that need a Premise ID (free/no charge) obtain it by calling 1-800-572-2437.
