RULES FOR EXHIBITORS
1. All classes open to anyone who grows daffodils except where specified otherwise.
2. An exhibitor may make as many entries as desired in any class provided each entry is a different cultivar or species or an entirely different collection of cultivars and/or species.
3. All blooms in the Horticultural Division must have been grown in the open by the exhibitor.
4. Entries will be accepted between 7:00 and 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, March 19. No exhibit will be accepted after this time. All exhibitors must be off the floor by 10:30 a.m. This rule will be strictly enforced. Entries must be removed from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 20.
LABELING
5. The exhibitor shall place an entry card, properly filled out, with the name, division and color code on each exhibit. Any information on any entry tag, including the exhibitor’s number, which could compromise the anonymity of the exhibitor must be concealed during judging. Entry cards, wedging material and containers for specimens will be furnished by the Show Committee. No daffodil foliage is permitted.
6. All collections of five should be exhibited in blocks of five. Larger collections may be displayed at the discretion of the exhibitor. Each cultivar or species must be in a separate container. Each cultivar and/or species must be correctly labeled with name and color code. Originator's name must appear in American Bred classes, except seedlings shown by the originator.
7. Exhibits that are not named or are incorrectly named will not be judged, with the exception of entries in section U for Unidentified Daffodils. Correct classification and labeling shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor. No label may be changed, specimen added, removed, altered or substituted after judging has begun or after an award has been placed.
8. The Royal Horticultural Society System of Classification will be used. The labeling authority is Daffodils to Show and Grow as amended each year in the December ADS Daffodil Journal supplemented by the current information in the online DaffSeek data bank.
INTERMEDIATES, MINIATURES AND SEEDLINGS
9. An intermediate daffodil is a standard daffodil in divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, or 11 having a single floret whose diameter is typically greater than 50 mm and through 80 mm. Intermediate daffodils may be entered in classes for standard daffodils as well as classes reserved for intermediate daffodils.
10. Miniature daffodils may be shown only in classes for miniatures. A miniature daffodil is any cultivar on the current ADS Approved List of Miniatures. Also, any named, numbered, or species daffodil which appears graceful, with all its parts proportionately small, may be exhibited in Miniatures classes and is eligible for all ADS awards, except that only numbered seedlings shown by the originator are eligible for the ADS Miniature Rose Ribbon. The judges may decline to judge any exhibit containing an unapproved miniature that they consider too large for these classes.
11. Blooms of seedlings may be exhibited in all classes for named cultivars. All Seedlings Must Be Identified By A Number Designation Assigned By The Originator. If the exhibitor is not the originator, the name of the originator must be included as part of the identification. Only seedlings shown by the originator are eligible for the Rose or Miniature Rose Ribbon.
SMALL GROWERS
12. The Small Growers Section is open to anyone growing 50 or fewer standard cultivars or species.
AWARDS
13. Only one first, one second, and one third award may be given in each class. Honorable Mention awards may also be given if merited but only if first, second and third have been awarded. First, second, third, and honorable mention awards may be withheld by the judges if in their opinion the exhibit is not worthy.
14. Each stem in an exhibit receiving an ADS Award must score 90 points or more by the ADS Scale of Points. If a blue ribbon has been awarded in a class eligible for an ADS Ribbon, the ADS Award may not be withheld.
15. The decision of the judges is final. If an error is discovered in an exhibit after completion of judging, any award placed thereon shall be forfeited by the exhibitor. If an error is discovered in an exhibit before the judging is completed, the class must be re-judged.
16. The miniature gold and miniature white ribbons will be chosen by the panel of judges who judged all miniatures.
17. To determine the gold ribbon winner there will be a vote by written ballot eliminating blooms after each vote until an overwhelming majority is reached.
18. The Section A winner will be chosen by the panel of judges who judged Section A after the gold ribbon winner has been chosen. If the gold ribbon winner is chosen from Section A, then this bloom is also by default the Section A winner.
MISCELLANEOUS
19. The Show Committee reserves the right to subdivide classes where there are three or more worthy exhibits of the same cultivar or color code. However, the class should not be subdivided if there is not a sufficient number of worthy exhibits left in the class. Species may be subdivided by their botanical sections.
20. In the class descriptions, the words “pink cup,” etc. define classes where that color is solid, 2W-P, or present in two adjacent zones, 2W-GPP. The words “pink in cup,” etc. are used for classes that include both solid and rimmed cups of the same color. “Colored” is any color but white. A reverse bicolor has a predominantly yellow perianth and a predominantly white cup where “predominantly” means at least two adjacent zones must be coded the designated color.
21. Photographing exhibits will NOT be permitted until judging is completed.
22. Visitors are not allowed into the show until judging is completed.

3. Classes are open to color or monochrome photographs and will be subdivided if needed. An exhibitor may make up to two entries in each class, up to 8 photographs in total.
4. Photographs should be mounted on lightweight neutral, stiff card stock or foam board. Matting (over the print and backing) should not be used. Minimum print size is 5x7 inches and maximum mounted size is 8 x10 inches. No glass or frame should be used. The photographer’s name and address should be shown on the back of the mounting board.
5. An entry card must be attached to the front of each exhibit on the right side near the top. On the face of the card, record the class and the title of the photo (if any). The face of the entry card (below the fold) should have the name of the photographer.
6. If warranted by the quality or quantity of entries, classes may be further subdivided. First, Second, Third, and Honorable Mention awards will be given as merited in each subdivision. The ADS Wells Knierim Ribbon for Best Photograph in Show will be awarded.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE DAFFODIL SOCIETY HISTORY
The Middle Tennessee Daffodil Society was organized on April 5, 1958. This was four years after the American Daffodil Society was organized on April 9, 1954 in Washington, D.C. Louise Linton Hardison, along with Mary Cartwright, attended the 1957 ADS convention in Ohio, which inspired her to organize the MTDS. Louise Linton Hardison was the first MTDS president. Other founding members included Mary Cartwright, Margaret Cosner, Dan Eadie, Sam Caldwell, Sally Stanford and Clarence Connell.
The Middle Tennessee Daffodil Society would like to gratefully acknowledge the past growers and former members of our society who were instrumental in the growth and perseverance of the society. Those individuals, who over the years, encouraged many of the current members to fall in love with showing and growing daffodils. Members to whom we owe our gratitude include Louise Linton Hardison, Clarence Connell, Dan Eadie, Sam Caldwell, Pat Lee, Alice Wray Taylor, Kitty Frank, Billy Hobby, Pat Bates, Martha Gaines, Becky Talbot, Sue Thomas, Edna Metcalfe, Dot Allen and Arlene Ziegler.
