SUGGESTIONS FOR PREPARING VEGETABLE GARDEN EXHIBITS

1. Harvest onions 2 to 3 weeks before exhibiting. This makes it easier to display clean, attractive specimens. Unpeeled onions, even though unattractive, will be judged more favorably than onions that have been peeled. 2. DO NOT apply mineral oil or wax to vegetables!!!! 3. DO NOT exhibit large size pickling varieties of cucumbers nor as slicing cucumbers nor exhibit very small fruits of slicing varieties as pickling cucumbers. 4. DO NOT damage the skin of vegetables by harsh washing and brushing. If vegetables are dirty, particularly such vegetables as carrots, beets, and potatoes, wash them carefully in lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge without rubbing. For caked-on dirt, allow vegetables to soak until dirt can be wiped off. After washing, rinse in cold water and place on paper toweling to dry. For other vegetables, gently wipe off dirt with a soft, moist cloth and allow to dry. 5. DO NOT exhibit sunburned vegetables. Slight yellowing of the shoulders of red tomatoes and whitish streaks on green peppers are often due to slight sunburning. 6. Retain 3 or 4 wrapper leaves on cabbage. Judges will give a lower score for removed wrapper leaves than those that have a small amount of damage from insects. 7. The overall appearance of vegetables is very important. They must first be fresh, crisp (not

wilted), and free of any mechanical injuries such as cracks, cuts and bruises, and free of any damage from insects and diseases. Of equal importance is the matter of UNIFORMITY. For example, the nearer 20 pods of beans are to the same length and diameter, the better. Exhibits lacking uniformity can be seen at a glance by the judge and he almost automatically rules out giving a blue or even a red ribbon.
