Eastern Shore couple, Jim Duffy and Jill Jasuta, have done an amazing job chronicling and documenting the beauty and history of the Eastern Shore, and Dorchester County. Jim is the author of 5 books about the Eastern Shore and is the founder of Secrets of the Eastern Shore which celebrates the Delmarva region in words, photos and products. Jill, who started off as a newspaper writer, editor and graphic designer, works magic with her camera and her works have been shown locally at the Dorchester Center for the Arts and also published in many magazines. Jim and Jill moved from Baltimore to Cambridge years ago and together work their miracles on paper and in photos. They will share their talents for capturing all that is the beauty of life on the Eastern Shore.

*Cultivar--An example of a Division 1, Trumpet Daffodil is Narcissus ‘Mount Hood’ where Mount Hood is the cultivar.
**Divisions--The thirteen divisions are sub-classes of Class 1, Standard Narcissus. If you choose to enter three narcissus which are all Division 2 – Large Cup [One flower to a stem, corona (‘Cup’) more than one third but less than equal to the length of the perianth segments (‘petals’)], then the three daffodil entries would have to be three different cultivars of Division 2, Large Cup Narcissus, such as Narcissus ‘Salome,’ Narcissus ‘Altun Ha,’ or Narcissus ‘Ice Follies.’ If you enter one or more (three maximum) in different subclasses, each entry must be different and identified by the cultivar name written in regular (Roman or upright) text in single quotations. This is why it is important when exhibiting in a flower show to know the name of your cultivar, no matter what the species.
Class 2.Miniature Daffodils – up to 3 entries per class, must be different cultivars:
Same descriptive divisions as standards only with smaller blooms
a.Division 1 –Trumpet

j.Division 10 – Bulbocodium cultivars

m.Division 13 – Daffodils distinguished by botanical name
Class 3.A *collection of 5 different cultivars of daffodils in the same or different divisions
a.Standard
b.Miniature
*A collection, according to the Handbook for Flower Shows (p. 60), is “an exhibit of specimens judged for their cultural perfection.” Each cultivar exhibited is listed on one entry card by listing its name after Narcissuss or in single quotations, non-italicized, e.g., Narcissus ‘Thalia.’ A minimum of five different specimens must be exhibited in individual containers or have the appearance of being individually exhibited.
Class 4.Conifers – 1 branch (minimum length 6”/maximum length 24”)
a.With cones
b.Without cones
Class 5.Broadleaf Evergreen Tree or Shrub – 1 branch (minimum length 6”/
maximum length 24”)
a.*Flowering
b.*Foliage
c.*Fruited
*Your exhibit may be a flowering evergreen, such as Mahonia, however, it must be entered into the class which reflects the state of the exhibit at the time of exhibition. In other words, your Mahonia specimen may have only foliage or perhaps fruit at the time of the flower show, therefore it should not be entered as a flowering specimen. This applies to Classes 6.and 7. as well where exhibits may be flowering, foliage or fruited.
