The 1984 North Carolina State Fair Premium Book is dedicated to J. C. Ferguson,
who for many years has been the guiding force behind the antique farm machinery
exhibits. His interest in maintaining agricultural machinery history for the people of
North Carolina led citizens to loan or donate a number of valuable and historically-significant
items of antique farm machinery to the N. C. State Fair. In addition, due to
his personal interest, the antique farm machinery acquired a permanent exhibit hall
from the 1971 General Assembly, ending the constant moving from place to place of
the equipment, which was fragile and easily damaged.
Many thanks are due Mr. Ferguson for his tireless efforts and devotion to preser-vation
of North Carolina agricultural history through its farm machinery.
6,000 copies of this publication were printed at a cost of $1.98 each.

Dear Fair Lover:
The North Carolina State Fair is the Tar Heel state at
its best. It's a showcase of our agriculture, arts and crafts,
schools, music, food and fun. It's also one of the best enter-tainment
buys around.
The 1984 Fair will be the biggest and best ever. I
wouldn't want to miss it, and I hope you'll make plans to
attend.
My warmest personal regards.

Fellow North Carolinians
:
It is a special pleasure for me to welcome you to the
1984 North Carolina State Fair.
"Conservation: Our Agricultural Heritage" is an
appropriate theme as we become more conscious of our
precious natural resources.
The Fair reminds us that these resources are held by us
only in trust; that we must conserve and protect them
for the benefit of future generations
.
Enjoy the entertainment that is provided at this annual
spectacular event, for there is much to entertain you.
But take the time to view the exhibits , which carry
through the theme of this, the 117th, celebration of the
State Fair.
More importantly, practice conservation as a way of life.
The future of our great state depends upon it.
Cordially,
Cfimmy Qreen
lieutenant Qovernor

Dear Fairgoers:
This 117th North Carolina State Fair is going to be the
best ever! The 344 acres of the fairgrounds are going to be
covered with the best our state's people have to offer in
exhibits, entertainment and good, old-fashioned hospitality.
In honor of the Soil and Water Conservation '84 cele-bration,
the theme of this year's fair will be "Conservation -
Our Agricultural Heritage." A special dome is planned around
this theme, sponsored by the North Carolina Association of
Soil and Water Conservation Districts. I hope you will go
by the exhibit and learn about the farmer's role as the first
conservationist
.
The State Fair's livestock shows, exhibits and entertain-ment
are the best in the state, bar none. From sheep to photo-graphy
to performers like Jerry Clower, we have the best enter-tainment
for the family, at a price everyone can afford.
Believe it or not, the State Fair is still an entertainment
bargain. For only $3.00 again this year, adults can enter the
fun and fascination of a day at the fair. Children under 12 and
senior citizens over 65 are admitted to the fair free, as always.
So, take the time to come and enjoy the fair, October 12-20.
I guarantee that if you come once, you'll never miss another one.
We have something for everyone in this state, and I look forward
to seeing you.
Cordial ly

NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October 1853 by the State Agricultural Society.
One of the earliest resolutions approved was that the Society sponsor a "cattle show
and an exhibition of domestic manufactures." It was planned to offer premiums to
farmers who developed better practices for crop improvement, or designed and built
more effective implements. Immediately plans were underway toward the first State
Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol in
Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly newspaper, a week before the big
event ". . the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $1 for a
carriage; and 50 cents for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00 toward the
fair and receipts amounted to $3000. Estimated attendance was four to six thousand.
It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register Sunday morn-ing,
October 22, 1853, allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State; and every industrial pursuit within its borders,
were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its blooded stock, the West its
splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The farmer poured in his agricultural products,
the mechanic brought forward splendid specimens of his skill, the native artist ex-hibited
the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State, never
behind in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the whole with
the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their culture, and the varied and
tasteful attractions which had sprung from their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom sage
field comprising and eminence known as 'Cook's Hill' on Hillsboro Road some 300
yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of
the city limits of Raleigh." This is now a residential and business district across from
the campus of N.C. State College. The Raleigh Little Theatre now occupies the site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than $50,000.
The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped exhibit hall, 250 feet long and
44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Farmers and Mechanics Halls. A 200 x
44 foot shed housed the machinery display and a three-story grandstand, judges' stand
and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the permanent structures. The offices
and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the grandstand. The second deck was the
spectators' area, and the third floor was called "Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could en-joy
a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1895 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main annual
event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans
gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard times of '65 and '66.
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in 1907 by
William Jennings Bryan. Speechmaking was another major attraction of early fairs.
Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his famous cross of
gold speech and lost two elections. His address to North Carolinians undoubtedly was
part of his third unsuccessful race for presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was discontinued
from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and Reconstruction period, and in 1918
during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a monthlong
"North Carolina Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first State
Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in 1925 with representatives from the
State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There was no
12
State Fair in 1926 and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton succeeded in con-vincing
the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair. Thus, the State
Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in 1952.
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture in
1930. The various committees continued to operate the fair until 1933 when the Board
of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commercial basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of the
Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office as commissioner of
agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor
premiums, and by 1968 this figure had reached more than $70,000. Currently the
figure exceeds $140,000.
Dr. J. S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair, Division of
the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately the fair was no longer a burden
and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and have been
turned back into improvements for buildings and grounds.
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James E.
Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time and during this same year
Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still going
strong.
The N. C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of a
year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry, commerce and the general welfare
of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational events was
completed in 1952 and named the J. S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique architectural
design won it acclaim as one of the most significant structures of recent times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L. Y. Ballentine
assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961 that the fair operated six
days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from 1947
to 1960 was appointed by James A. Graham to complete production of the '64 fair.
Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commissioner
Graham.
Under guidance of Graham, the N. C. Board of Agriculture, Pitzer's management
and experienced staff, the fair has continued to grow and today is considered one of
the leading agricultural, industrial and educational fairs in the nation. In 1968 the
Board of Agriculture approved extending the fair's length to nine days beginning in
1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a decade of significant growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. Kerr Scott Building (1972), Crafts
Pavilion (1974), Livestock Building (1975) and Forestry Resources Center (1976). An
ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing and gutter-ing
was implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area near the fair-grounds
lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state. One of the first
Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house donated in 1975.
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair sponsored
the world's largest space-related educational exhibit which was viewed by an es-timated
250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N. C. field com-modities
each year stirred new interest and pride in the state's agricultural tradition,
particularly among the non-farming public.
Several programs motivated in part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also ini-tiated.
In 1970 senior citizens were admitted to the fair free of charge. The same year
the Century Farm Families program was launched.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate. At-tendance
averaged 570,000 in the 1970's. In 1976 the nine-day event, highlighted with a
visit by President Gerald Ford, was attended by 587,000 despite several days of cold
and rain. An all-time attendance mark of more than 680,207 was set in 1982.
13
The State Fair and grounds operate on a year-round basis. There are 42 permanent
employees, 34 of which are maintenance personnel.
Non-fairtime utilization of buildings and grounds increased dramatically in the
1970's as new sales initiatives by management and a complex of new facilities con-sisting
of the Kerr Scott Building (exhibit hall), the Jim Holshouser Building (crafts
pavillion) and the Jim Graham Building (livestock pavillion) made the fairgrounds an
active center for entertainment, meetings, expositions and agricultural shows.
The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the fair to purchase
an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds. The acquisition brought the
fairgrounds to 344 total acres.
In 1983, Sam G. Rand was named fair manager, succeeding Art Pitzer, who retired.
A new horse facility was opened, housing up to 900 head of horses.

Animal Department, in the Swine and Sheep Departments and the Horse
20
Show. Poultry entering the State for exhibition shall be accompanied by a
permit from the State Veterinarian of North Carolina or his authorized
representative.
In all other divisions and departments competition is LIMITED TO
RESIDENTS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
NO DEPARTMENT SUPERINTENDENT OR DIRECTOR, OR MEM-BERS
OF THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES MAY ENTER EXHIBITS IN
THEIR RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS.
All entires (with exceptions noted in the .Livestock Division for group
classes) must be made in the name of the owner, breeder, manufacturer,
grower, producer or one whose skill the exhibit represents. A firm, to be
entitled to exhibit as such, must have been organized not less than 30 days
prior to the closing date for entries, and such firm must have been organized
as a bona fide firm for the purpose of producing, or buying and selling the
articles or animals it proposes to exhibit in the name of such firm. A firm
will be regarded as one exhibitor.
Official printed forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.
One will be found in the back of this book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR
ENTRIES IN EACH DEPARTMENT. Be sure to fill out the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code, and telephone number.
Additional application forms are available upon request to: N. C. STATE
FAIR, 1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607.
Incomplete entry forms will be returned for correction if there is time to
do so, but REMEMBER: No article or animals will be entitled to exhibit
space until proper entry has been made. No entry will be accepted after the closing
date listed for the department.
Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly
classed or a mistake has been made in copying the original entry—in which
event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department
Superintendent or Director in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE
OF THE ENTRY DIRECTOR." If the records are altered and do not
conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of
premiums will be withheld.
No person except personnel of the Entry Department will be allowed to
see the entires, or have access to the entry books, until after the awards are
made.
The same article or animal cannot be entered for more than one premium
number (except as otherwise stated in the Special Department Rules and
Regulations). Collections and displays must be made up of specimens other
than those entered in single (individual) classes unless otherwise noted.
Except for the Horse Show no entry fees are required in any department,
except that livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment
of stall, pen, and coop fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEAD-NOTES
OF THESE DEPARTMENTS FOR SCALE OF FEES.) See Dept.
H, Arts and Photography head-notes for entry fees in the professional cate-gories.
Application forms for entry should be mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR, 1025 Blue
Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. Effective October 1, 1984 the Entry Department will be
staffed to receive applications for entry in person.
21
Entry Department will be open from October 1 through October 23, 8:00 A.M.-5
P.M. except Sunday, October 14 from 1-5 P.M. The Sunday following the fair the
department will be open from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.
EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM
ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These dates are set out in the Department
Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can
get your exhibits IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be con-sidered
abandoned if not called for within one week after the official closing
of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE
SPECIAL RULES for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair, on official
printed forms provided for that purpose, before the closing date for entries
in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or con-sidered
in the judging until proper entry has been made. Removal of exhibits
before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums
won, all fees paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place
through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled for the day following the
fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or
exhibits, and in an effort to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded con-ditions.
The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attend-ing
earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper
department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding numbers will be
issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain
on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except that exhibit tags issued for live-stock
and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or
coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL NOT BE MAILED, but will be available at
the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the
Department Superintendent or Director, who will allocate space and either
personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display, or direct
such actiun by the exhibitor. The State Fair assumes no responsibility for the
incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and
enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of the annual exposi-tion.
However, exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: N. C. STATE FAIR,
1025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD., RALEIGH, N. C. 27607, and they will be
carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the
same manner as previously described. They will be given the same considera-tion
with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation
charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will be paid by the Fair.
Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and
22
properly identified inside and outside the package as to the department,
class and premium number under which they have been previously entered.
They should be shipped or mailed at least a week or 10 days prior to the
opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority
over allocation of space, and will have direct supervision of all exhibits which
are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use
as these Directors and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational
values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Depart-ment
Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the
Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and pens will be
furnished bedding before the Fair, free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will
be required to furnish their own bedding and keep all stalls and pens clean.
Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article
entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given the exhibitor to serve
as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim
checks should be guarded carefully, since Department Superintendents and
Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the
exhibit tag stub. If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported
promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the Director
of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within
one week after the close of the Fair will be considered to have been aban-doned
by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair
sees fit. Other exhibits, and materials therein, including concession booths,
which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after
the end of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned and will
become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does
not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to both the exhibitor and
the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed
objectionable or unsuitable for exhibition. All entries are accepted condi-tionally,
pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any
article or animal which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will
be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, andfor Judges must re-port
disqualification of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager of
the State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUM-STANCES
WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PRE-MIUMS
PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOM-MENDED
UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS
OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER OR ASSISTANT MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise
and distribute literature and free samples from their place of exhibit only,
but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a
permit from the manager. The distribution of advertising matter which
23
conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is pro-hibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping
the space in and around their exhibits, including unused space, aisles and
roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit
booth and concession stand must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or
concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair
manager.
Exhibitors and Department Superintendents and Directors may have the exclusive
use of the lawn in front of the Educational and Commercial exhibit building for park-ing
until midnight, Thursday, October 11, 1984. Special parking facilities for the Live-stock
and Poultry Division will be provided at the west end of the Fairgrounds.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision of the judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except
in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence of fraud or violation of
the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent
not later than noon of the day following the award, and must be accompanied
by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to con-sider
the protest and all interested parties will be notified of the time of the
hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the
International Association of Fairs and Expositions governing appeals will
be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its
mere presence. It must be individually worthy. It is not the policy of the
Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute pre-miums
equally among exhibitors. No premium will be awarded to any exhibit
that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO
EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE
INDIVIDUAL CLASS, AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN
ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except
such attendants as are necessaiy to handle and show livestock and other
such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during
their adjudications, or who publicly expresses disapproval of the decision
of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums
previously won will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed
and the exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded from further partici-pation
in the Fair, and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging
reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the Department Superin-tendent
or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon
which they were awarded, if possible, but the ribbons have no value in the
24
payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way
on to the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department
Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE
IN THE OFFICE OF, AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR
OF THE ENTRY DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries
are reclassed. If the records are altered and the entry department files are
not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing
the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits to which they have awarded
premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that
does not qualify for one of the classes in the State Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made as it
is possible to compile and check all reports. Premiums not collected during the Fair will
be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1, 1984, after which
time the books of the 1984 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender
First Premium Blue
Second Premium Red
Third Premium White
Fourth Premium Pink
Fifth Premium Yellow
Sixth Premium Dark Green
Seventh Premium Light Green
Eighth Premium Tan
Ninth Premium Gray
Tenth Premium, and above Light Blue

Division IV
PATIO GARDENS
1. These gardens shall be educational as well as artistic.
2. Plant materials should be labeled, and information and explanations must be
easily readable by the general public from outside the display space.
3. At least two spotlights or equal lighting should be placed in each garden for night
lighting, where needed. These will be furnished by the exhibitor.
4. Entries will be closed when the allotted plots are assigned. Plots are assigned on a
first come, first serve, basis beginning in mid-January of each year. For informa-tion
or plot assignments, call the State Fair horticulturist at 733-2720 day or 832-
9296 night.
5. All entries in this division must be made in advance and the gardens must be com-pleted
by 5 p.m., Thursday, October 11.
6. Judging will begin at 8 a.m., Friday, October 12.
7. Premium check will not be awarded until garden spot is cleaned. (All bark and soil
materials must be removed from contact with fence, and all materials that were
not originally in the area must be removed.)
8. No exhibits are to be removed until 8 a.m., Sunday, October 21.
9. Patio gardens may be worked on at any time throughout the year (contact NCSF
horticulturist—see #4). Please try to get an early start as the area tends to become
congested as fair time approaches.
10. Participants are expected to clean, replace dead plant material, and water daily.
IF THE GARDEN IS NOT KEPT ATTRACTIVE, THE PREMIUM WILL BE
FORFEITED!
11. In selecting plant material, please keep in mind the cool temperatures which may
occur during the fair.
12. In keeping with the educational aspect of the gardens, the judges critiques for each
garden will be typed and posted at each garden. We feel it is important that this
information be available both to the garden club members and the viewing public.
They contain valuable information in explaining how the winners were selected.
13. The gardens will be judged, based on the following criteria and scale of points:
A. Design of the entire garden 40%
1. Imagination—A resourceful and creative solution to the aspects of design.
2. Composition—Elements arranged in relation to other elements in the gar-den,
and in proper relationship to the garden sequence and focal point, etc.
3. Unity—The arrangement of all the parts of the garden in such a manner
that they constitute a whole, or promote an undivided total effect.
4. Color Harmony—The arrangement of the various hues, shades, and colors
to contribute to a pleasing effect and unified composition.
B. Design of details 40%
1. Construction— Construction of physical features should give the illusion of
reality, for example, if it is supposed to be a deck, arbor, etc., it should look
like one, and should be substantial and functional. It should be large enough
to serve the purpose for which it was designed, within the garden space.
55
2. Planting—Use permanent planting to develop design. Supplement design
with annuals, etc. Take growth habits, light and water requirements into
consideration when selecting plant material. Appropriate plant material
will be judged both here and under functional aspects. It will be more impor-tant
to give the illusion of an established planting, than allowing room for
plant material to grow. Consequently, plant material may be grouped
together to give the effect of a larger plant.
3. Accessories—Accessories should be suitable to the area designed and should
add to the garden, not dominate or detract from it.
4. Finish Detail— Based on how much attention is paid to finishing touches
and fine detail; for example, covering pots thoroughly with mulch, quality
finish construction, well crafted plot plans, etc.
C. Suitability to Site 20%
1. Functional aspects—The garden should be able to be used for the purpose
designed. Plant material works together in the area. Physical features serve
the purpose intended. Carry your idea all the way through, for example, if
you plan a low maintenance area, choose a design, plant material and ac-cessories
with this in mind. Environmental factors should be taken into ac-count,
such as sun, shade, and wind protection, etc.
2. Maximum usefulness—The area is developed to its full potential and serves
the purpose for which it is designed.
3. Walks and paved areas—Walks should be used within a design context to
appear to belong. Walks and paved areas should be wide enough to be useful
and suitable for the purpose they are intended to serve. Walks should either
have a destination, or disappear with the illusion of a destination (example
behind an appropriate screen or planting.)

be considered abandoned and the Fair will not be responsible for them after that time.
SPECIAL NOTE!!
Because of the extended duration of the N. C. State Fair it is assumed that
most, if not all, apples will be out of condition by the end of the Fair. The
Superintendent in charge of the fruit exhibit shall determine the method of
distribution and any money received from the salvage of the apple exhibit
will be divided according to the volume sold from each county exhibit and that
amount will be sent to the respective county 4-H fund for use in 4-H work
involving apples.
Rules and Regulations
Except in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regu-lations
will prevail, the General Rules and Regulations of the Fair will
govern this department. BE SURE TO READ THESE IN THE FRONT
OF THIS BOOK BEFORE ENTERING OR COMPETING IN THIS DE-PARTMENT.
Some—but not all—are repeated herewith for emphasis, and
others apply only to this department.
MAKE YOUR ENTRIES EARLY! The right is reserved to reject entries
received after all available space is taken.
Official printed forms must be used in making applications for entry. Two
will be found in the back of this book. Additional copies are available upon
58
request. Use separate forms for entries in EACH CLASS—"1" Fruits and
Nuts, and "2 and 3" Vegetables, of this department, and separate forms for
entries in each other department of the Fair. Be sure to fill in the application
form completely, accurately and legibly. Give your rural route number, post
office box number, or city street address and zip code.
List the Department Letter "G" for Horticulture and the Class Number
"1" for Fruits or Nuts, and "2 and 3" for vegetables, for which each entry
is made. Also, list the premium number and the description of the article,
exactly as shown in the Premium List.
Entry Tags should be picked up at the Entry Department immediately
upon arrival on the Fairgrounds. An Entry Tag must be attached to each
exhibit before it is presented in the Department for display.
As far as possible, it is urged that all horticultural products be brought in and set up
by the exhibitor. Where it is not possible, shipments should be made in time to reach
the Fairgrounds no later than Wednesday, October 11, and should be addressed to:
Superintendent, Horticulture Department, N. C. State Fair, 1025 Blue Ridge Blvd.,
Raleigh, N. C. 27607.
Where it is not possible to personally bring the products to the Fair and
arrange them, the Superintendents will be glad to arrange the products in
the most attractive manner possible. However, they will not pack box or
basket entries for exhibit. Exhibits mailed or shipped to the Fair should be
carefully labeled to show the name and address of the exhibitor, and the
nature, and class in which entered, of the contents of the package.
The State Fair will furnish, PLATES, QUART AND PINT CONTAIN-ERS,
CORRUGATED CARTONS FOR SWEET POTATOES, AND TRAYS
for exhibits, but no other containers. The number of specimens for each
PLATE display is specified in the premium list. Standard size tray, UV2
x 18 inches inside measurements, and 3 inches deep, will be used. Exhibitors
should make a tray of the required dimensions and pack the exhibit to
determine the number of specimens required. At least one extra specimen
for each plate, and three or four extra specimens for each tray, should be
brought or shipped to the Fair to allow for possible damage in transit.
To insure uniformity in exhibit material and to facilitate judging, the
following sizes for apple varieties will be recognized:
Variety Diameter
Arkansas 3 to 3'/2 inches
Bonum 2 3A to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to 3V4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3V4 inches
Jonathan 2 3A to 3 inches
Golden Delicious 2 3A to 3Vi inches
Rome and named bud sports 3 to 3V2 inches
Stayman and named bud sports 3 to 3% inches
Winesap 2% to 3 inches
York and named bud sports 3 Vs to 3 3/s inches
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be care-fully
wrapped and packed for shipment to the Fair. Wrap separately in
paper and pack firmly in a box, taking care to avoid bruising. Label each
variety plainly and put in dividers to keep varieties separated. Do not use
hay, fodder, excelsior or any other dusty packing material. Any exhibit that
59
rots, is unsightly or becomes unsightly will be removed from display (after
judging) at the discretion of the superintendent.
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those speci-mens
that are of uniformly good quality, form and color, true to type, and
free from all insect and disease blemishes, and free from cuts and bruises.
Premiums offered for the best collection of fruits or vegetables will not be
awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties, BUT
MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY. Do not knock or shake fruit
from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out
the stem. Products should be exhibited as nearly as possible in their natural
state, and no preference will be given in the judging for highly polished
fruits or vegetables.
Entries of "Commercial" containers of apples and sweet potatoes should be
graded to uniform marketable size, high color, smoothness, trueness to type,
freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus blemishes.
They should be properly packed and faced in standard containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be correctly
named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits, the names adopted
by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will be
accepted that has not been admitted to their catalogue, except in the case of
seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No awards will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking,
or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these exhibits are
disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to compete
for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR CANNOT COMPETE
FOR MORE THAN ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
No exhibitor will be allowed to discuss exhibits with the judges, or to
interfere in any way while the judges are at work.
