Section 416 Pasture And Range Plant Display Exhibit
These displays consist of ten representative plants mounted on lightweight boards, measuring 3 feet square, strong enough to stand upright. Any other size will result in disqualification. The plants should be cut to prevent any part of the plant from extending beyond the edge of the board. Grasses and other fine-stemmed plants may be shown as bundles not to exceed one inch in diameter, and single plants that are heavy-stemmed or bushy may be used. Plants should be headed and in bloom or seed stage but not ripe enough to shatter. Label with common name. The exhibitor’s Name, Chapter and Grade must indicated on the back of the board. Displays will be judged on choice of species; quality of samples (green, color, leafiness, dryness and stage maturity); neatness and arrangement of samples in general appearance of display; and correctness and readability of labels. Entries which are found to be misidentified or identical as a result of group preparation will be disqualified. The top 5 in each class may be displayed. Only one Tame and one Native Display allowed per individual.
