PLANTS & CUT FLOWERS
Chairperson : Betty Bender, 291- 4603
Committee: Marlene McQuinn, Mary Kerr, Jan Chapman, Mary Foote, Pat
Mayberry, Joyce Simpson, Carolyn Sturgeon, Paulette Coneybeare
Flowers in ALL classes must be HOME GROWN, established in suitable containers.
Any exhibit not worthy will not be awarded a prize. At the discretion of the judge and the
committee, a section may be subdivided.
NOTE : Exhibits will be accepted Tues, JULY12 , 7:00 pm – 9:00pm & WED.,
JULY13, 8:00 – 11:00am. and judged 12:00 – 6:00pm. Hall open Thurs. am.
Helpful Hints for Preparing Materials
(Ontario Judging Standards for Horticultural & Floral Design)
1. Cut flowers and foliage the evening before the show or in the early morning.
2. Flowers stay fresher and show better if there are NO LEAVES in the
container.
3. Make a fresh slanting cut at the end of stems, for maximum water intake.
4. Place in a wide bucket in deep warm water, preferably overnight.
5. Store in a dark, humid, draft-free place.
6. Some cut flowers, foliage and woody materials do not readily absorb water
and require further treatment to prevent wilting. Woody branches may
benefit from splitting cut ends and some need the thick outer layer removed
as well. Some cut flowers (e.g., poppies) benefit from burning the stem ends
while others benefit by placing stem ends in boiling water or from chemicals
in the water. About 2 Tbsp. of glycerine in 4 l of water, or florist crystals may
be beneficial. Details are also available in flower arranging books.
7. Removal of dust, stains and any other foreign material from blooms and
foliage enhances the exhibit.
8. Re-cut stem ends before placing in show containers.

My Farm Animals
On a sunny day, I sat on my porch swing
And watched a cool fresh summer rain.
Everything then seems to come so alive
Birds flew to birdbaths to take a dive
My horse started galloping with glee
Putting on a show to entertain me
The donkey, he was hee-hawing so loud
Trying to get the attention of a crowd
The cows and goats stepped up to see
What all the commotion seemed to be
Chickens were making clucking sounds
Even little bunnies were looking around
Simon, the cat, awoke, puzzled over this
Fell back to sleep for his daily rest
My farm animals so joyful and free
Well, no one to see, but only me!

My Dog is not the

He says that submarines know how to dance
My dog declares that tigers grow on trees.
He argues only antelopes eat cheese.
He tells me that he’s twenty nine feet tall,
then adds that ants are good at basketball.
He claims to own a mansion on the moon;
a palace that he bought from a baboon.
He swears the sun is made of candy bars,
and says he’s seen bananas play guitars.
It seems to me my dog is pretty dense.
He talks a lot, but doesn’t make much sense.
Although I love my dog with all my heart.
I have to say, he isn’t very smart.

My Horse and I
When I ride my horse
I become my horse.
My horse becomes cool water.
My mind dips through each wave
as if I were the ocean’s daughter.
When I ride my horse
I become my horse.
My horse becomes a flame.
My heart leaps ginger-crimson
with a heat I cannot tame.
When I ride my horse
I become my horse.
My horse becomes the earth.
My hoofbeats carve my name
in driest dust to prove my worth.
When I ride my horse
I become my horse.
My horse becomes the sky.
My soul breathes out
a walk-trot-canter-gallop lullaby.
We are Water. Flame. Earth. Sky.
We swim. We burn. We run. We fly.
We are life. My horse and I.
By Amy Ludwig VanDerwater

The Runaway
A frantic clatter of horses’ feet!
A runaway’s coming down the street!
Flurry, scurry,
Children, hurry!
Drop your playthings! Quick! Don’t wait!
Run and get within the gate!
Push the baby in the door,
Scramble in yourselves before
—Whoa! Whoa!
There they go!
Pell-mell rushing, snorting, quaking,
Wagon rumbling, harness breaking,
Frightened so they cannot know
Everybody’s shrieking “Whoa!”
O my, don’t cry!
Whiz, bang, they’ve galloped by!
No one hurt, but horses dashed
Round a post and wagon smashed!
Dear me! Dear me!
When a runaway we see,
Children, too, must run, oh, fast!
Run and hide as it goes past!
By Evaleen Stein
