DAFFODIL ON EXHIBITION TABLE loi 



Daffodil leaves. A supply of these should be secured 

 from clumps of the common double or other strong- 

 growing inexpensive varieties. 



A little damp moss should be used for keeping the 

 flowers in the desired position in the vases, and they 

 should be tastefully arranged with their faces turned, 

 some wholly, some partly, to the front, and so that all 

 may catch the eye. The judges ought to be able to see 

 the full beailty of the exhibit at once, without any moving 

 of the flowers or vases. 



In the event of vases not being provided for exhibitors 

 at any Daffodil show, the flowers look very well staged 

 in small-sized ordinary brown blacking bottles, which 

 when properly cleaned have an excellent appearance, 

 and being very strong are easily packed for travelling. 



Such are a few of the secrets of success in exhibiting 

 Daffodils. Over and above these the golden rule must 

 be followed — Do everything carefully. Then it ought not 

 to be difficult for an enthusiastic grower who has well- 

 selected varieties to secure a medal or even a cup, in 

 evidence of his skilful cultivation.
