Symphony of Mums, Division I - Horticulture
General Rules
Division I will follow the Horticultural
Schedule as defined in the "NCS Show and Judges
Handbook, 2008 Revision." The show will be held
October 29 and 30 at Longwood Gardens. It is
located about 2 miles from the Hilton Garden
Inn.
Horticultural entries will be accepted on
Friday, October 28, 2011, from 10:00 a.m. until
5:00 p.m. Exhibitors can begin bloom
preparation at 8:00 a.m. We have to cut-off
entry at 5:00 p.m. because that is when
Longwood closes for the day.
Exhibitors will place their own entries on the
show tables. The Classification Committee will
view the entries and pass on them once they are
on the show tables.
NO Horticultural entries will be accepted on
Saturday morning.
The show will be open to the public on
Saturday, October 29, 2011, from 1:00 p.m.
until 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, October 30 from
9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

card which must accompany each entry.
