Midwest Daffodil Society, Inc.
We are a group of daffodil hobbyists who wish to share our interest, expertise, and energies on behalf of the most prolific and beautiful flower of the
spring season. Membership is open to all with an interest in growing,
studying, or showing daffodils. at only $5 per year. For details, contact a
member or see our website at www.MidwestDaffodil.org.
We meet at the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe and at other locations
in the Chicago area. We sponsor a bulb sale in October and this show in
late spring.
The 2014 Midwest Daffodil Society Show
The Show is divided into a Horticultural Division and a Design Division.
The Horticultural Division has many judging categories based on type,
color, and number of blooms displayed and on special collections or other
recognized categories. Cut daffodils, container-grown daffodils, and
species or wild daffodils may be shown. Judging is based on a standard
method of assigning points for condition, form, color, pose and other characteristics. We have sections for Unnamed Daffodils to encourage broader
participation. The Horticultural Division is sanctioned by the American
Daffodil Society. Anyone who grows daffodils is welcome to enter.
Our program reflects changes made by the American Daffodil Society in
their efforts to make competition in such shows more comprehensive of the
large variety in daffodils and to make the shows more interesting. As
always, one of the main criteria in such changes is to allow more opportunities for growers to receive recognition for their special efforts.
The Design competition consists of arrangements and stagings of daffodils
according to special themes established each year. Judging is on the basis
of artistic design, creativity, and use of materials according to established
guidelines. The Design Division is approved by Garden Clubs of Illinois.

be available at the show or may be obtained in advance from the show chairman or through the website. Only the top half of the Show Card will be used. The Show Committee will screen the entries
before judging to ensure that exhibits are entered in appropriate classes before judging begins, but
each exhibitor is responsible for the accuracy of the show card data.
C. Any information on a Show Card which could compromise the anonymity of the exhibitor must be concealed during judging.
D. An exhibit or show card may not be altered after judging has begun. If the Show Committee discovers
an error before judging is completed, affected classes will be rejudged. If an error is discovered after
judging is complete, any related award will be forfeited. The decisions of the Judges and the Show
Committee Chair are final.
RULES FOR HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITORS
ENTRIES
1. All classes are 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. Blooms in the Horticultural Division must have been grown in the open by the exhibitor. Miniatures,
species, and container grown daffodils may be grown in protected areas.
4. Show cards, wedging material, and containers for cut flower exhibits will be provided. Except for daffodils grown and shown in their containers, no daffodil foliage is permitted.
LABELING
5. For individual entries and vases of three, each cultivar or species must be correctly labeled on the
Show Card with its name, division, and color code. Entries that are not named will be placed in
Section U.
6. All collections of five or more stems must be exhibited with each bloom in a separate staging tube.
Include a card displaying cultivar name, division, and color code. The
originatorʼs name must
appear on the label in Country Classes C25 through C31 and M4. Exhibitors must provide their own
labels for collections, but only the type of collection (such as “White Collection”) need appear on the
associated Show Card.
INTERMEDIATES, CLASSICS, HISTORICS, MINIATURES, AND SEEDLINGS
7. Miniature daffodils named in the most recent ADS Approved List of Miniatures, or in any
official additions thereto, may be shown only in the classes for miniatures. 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.
8. An intermediate daffodil is a standard daffodil in divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, or 11 having a single floret with
diameter typically between 1.5 and 3 inches (50-80 mm). Intermediate daffodils may be entered in
classes for standard daffodils as well as classes reserved for intermediate daffodils. Blooms entered in
Sections I, F, Y, or the standard collections may be indicated for consideration for the ADS Intermediate
Ribbon with a straw inserted in the staging tube.
9. Historic daffodils are those originated before 1940. Blooms of historic daffodils may be shown in all
classes for named cultivars as well as in Section H. Section H requires the year of origination, as well
as cultivar name, division and color code on the Show Card.
Long-cupped

10. Blooms of seedlings may be exhibited in all classes for named cultivars. All seedlings must
be identified by a number designation assigned by the originaror. If the exhibitor is not the
originator, the name of the originator must be included as part of the identification.
AWARDS
11. 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. If a blue ribbon (first place) has been awarded in
a class eligible for an ADS ribbon, the ADS Award may not be withheld.
MISCELLANEOUS
12. The Judges may subdivide classes by cultivar or color code when there are three or more
worthy exhibits of the same cultivar, color code, botanical species, or year of origination and
if a sufficient number of worthy exhibits is left in the class. Species may be subdivided by
their botanical sections.
13. 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 ADS Internet daffodil database,
DaffSeek.org.
14. Color and Color Zone Definitions: The words “pink cup,” e.g., 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. A “reverse bicolor” has a predominantly colored perianth and
predominantly white cup.
15. Each stem in an exhibit receiving an ADS Award must score 90 or more on the appropriate
ADS Scale of Points.
16. To enter an exhibit in the following classes, the exhibitor must be a member in good standing of the ADS: C38, M20.
17. Classic daffodils are those standard daffodils originated beween 1940 and 1969, inclusive.
Blooms of Classic daffodils may be shown in all classes for named standard cultivars, as
well as in Section G. Section G requires the year of origination as well as cultivar name,
division, and color code on the Show Card. The earliest date shown in the International
Daffodil Register and Classified List 2008 and its supplements will be the authority.

Classification of Daffodils
According to the Royal Horticultural Society
For garden purposes, daffodils are classified in 13 divisions, where the division number specifies the
form and letters, the color code, specify the colors. Color codes include Green, Orange, Pink, Red,
White, and Yellow. For example:1 W-Y = a trumpet daffodil with white perianth (petals) and yellow corona
(trumpet). 2 Y-YYO = a large-cupped daffodil, all yellow except for a band of orange at the rim of the corona (cup).
11b W-O/Y/W = a papillon daffodil with white perianth and longitudinal bands of orange, yellow, and white in the
corona, with the orange predominant.
A daffodil which has been distinguished by a cultivar name should be assigned to Divisions 1-12.
Daffodils distinguished solely by botanical name should be assigned to Division 13.
Following is a brief description of daffodil characteristics by division. Characteristics for Divisions 5 to 10
are given for guidance only. They are not expected to be present in every cultivar of the respective division.
Division 1 – Trumpet Daffodil Cultivars
One flower to a stem; corona (trumpet) as long as or longer than the perianth segments (petals).
Division 2 – Large-cupped Daffodil Cultivars
One flower to a stem; corona (cup) more than one-third, but less than equal to the length of the perianth
segments (petals).
Division 3 – Small-cupped Daffodil Cultivars
One flower to a stem; corona not more than one-third the length of the perianth segments.
Division 4 – Double Daffodil Cultivars
One or more flowers to a stem, with doubling of the perianth segments or the corona or both.
Division 5 – Triandrus Daffodil Cultivars
Characteristics of N. triandrus clearly evident; usually two or more pendent flowers to a stem;
