GOVERNOR
Dear Fairgoer;
The North Carolina State Fair comes in the first crisp days
of autumn bringing the wealth of our State's harvest to a fun
and festive occasion.
I want to personally encourage you to come to this
educational and informational gathering. Indeed, it is the
showcase of much of what our agricultural heritage
represents.
I urge you to be among the 4,500 State citizens who will be
exhibitors at this fair. Their hard work over the year bears
fruit for the entire state in the 17,000 exhibits that will
be featured this year.
It will be an entertainment bargain for the entire family.
With the food, amusements and exhibits, this October event
offers the best of North Carolina in one location.
The State Fair is a tribute to the small family farms that
through the centuries have been the backbone of North
Carolina. In this "Year of Agriculture," and in the spirit
of the annual festivities, I am sure you will want to
participate.
Sincerely,
?Uames G. Martin
Governor

Dear Exhibitors:
The State Fair is an important tradition in North Carolina, one of
which you can be an important part. The Fair recognizes
Agriculture, the backbone of the state's economy, which
contributes four billion dollars of income to North Carolina each
year.
The livestock, garden, equipment, arts and crafts exhibits give
people an opportunity to explore agriculture and its many
contributions to the state. Lots of folks get their only
first-hand experience of farm life from the State Fair.
The Fair offers an excellent opportunity for all segments of the
marketplace to come together in one setting to present
information, achievements and products. Last year, more than
600,000 people toured the 16,000 exhibits during the 9 day event.
The displays included information and products of businesses,
civic organizations, government and education agencies.
This event provides a variety of activities for all members of the
family. In addition to the displays, the rides, entertainment,
and lots of food make the Fair something people of all ages just
can't resist!
I always enjoy attending the Fair, and I encourage you not only to
display an exhibit but also to make a visit (maybe several) to the
Fair. It's time well-spent.
Sincerely,
JAMES A GRAHAM P^partitwtit nf Agrirulture
COMMISSIONER
Dear Exhibitors:
Welcome to the 1985 North Carolina State Fair! October 18-26
are the dates of our annual nine-day agricultural fair, which is
one of the largest in the nation and world.
The theme of this 118th State Fair is, "1985 - The Year of
Agriculture." I could think of no better theme since our state is
one of small family farms who are the backbone of this state's
largest industry, agriculture. We want to honor our number one
industry, which has supported progress in this state ever since
Sir Walter Raleigh took the first tobacco back to England. Since
that time, money from agriculture has built roads, schools and
hospitals, and endowed one of the greatest university systems
in the country. This contribution continues today.
I urge all of you to enter items in the various premium
classes at the fair, build educational exhibits for the fair,
come show the best of North Carolina's cultural heritage and
best of all, show fairgoers something of their agricultural
heritage that they can be proud of.
I look forward to seeing the many entries from across the
state in everything from livestock to handicrafts, and 1 hope
if you entered one competition last year, you'll consider
entering more this year. I look forward to seeing each of you
at the fair.... and while you're there, enjoy the sights, sounds
and smells of the one and only North Carolina State Fair.
With all good wishes.
Cordially,
y^}-t^cJ<A^r>^

I, and the staff of the North Carolina State Fair, welcome

Fair.

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 $3,000. 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 e.xceeds $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
fairgrounds 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 in-itiated.
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.

ENTRIES
MAKE ALL ENTRIES EARLY!!! The right is reserved to reject any entry, and all en-tries
received after all space is taken must be rejected.
You will find the CLOSING DATES FOR ENTRIES set out in the Rules and Regula-tions
and the general headings of each of the various departments. These dates
VARY WITH THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT.
Check these Closing Dates carefully.
SEPARATE ENTRY BLANKS are required for entries in each of the departments.
Request the Entry Department supply you with an adequate number of entry blanks.
Competition is OPEN TO THE WORLD in the Rabbit Department, Poultry Depart-ment,
Goats, Dairy Cattle Department, Beef Cattle Breeding Animal Department, in
the Swine and Sheep Departments and the Horse 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 MEMBERS 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.
20
Official printed forms MUST BE USED in making applications for entry.
Two will be found in the back of this book. USE A SEPARATE FORM FOR EN-TRIES
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 depart-ment.
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 en-tries,
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). Collec-tions
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 depatment, except that
livestock, poultry, and rabbit exhibitors must include payment of stall, pen, and coop
fees with their applications for entry. (SEE HEADNOTES OF THESE DEPART-MENTS
FOR SCALE OR FEES.) See Dept. H, Arts and Photography head-notes for
entry fees in the professional categories.
Application forms for entry should be mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1025 Blue
Ridge Blvd., Raleigh, N. C. Effective October 1, 1985 the Entry Department will be
staffed to receive applications for entry in person.
Entry Department will be open from October 1 through October 29, 8:00 a.m.-5 p.m.
except Sunday, October 20 from 1-5 p.m. The Sunday following the fair the depart-ment
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 considered 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 participa-tion
in the Fair.
21
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 ef-fort
to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will
also assure those attending the fair during the evening of the final day of seeing the
same exhibits and entires as those attending 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 livestock and poultry may be conspicuously dis-played
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 action 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 exposition. 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 consideration 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 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 con-sidered
on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use as these Direc-tors
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 ex-hibitions
as directed by the Department 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 af-ter
the close of the Fair will be considered to have been abandoned by the exhibitor
and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, and
22
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 conditionally, 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.
Divismn Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report dis-qualification
of entries to the Manager or Assistant Manager of the State Fair im-mediately
after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDG-ING
BE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL AND PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE
DISQUALIFICATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL APPROVAL OF THE DIS-QUALIFICATION(
S) IS OBTAINED FROM THEFAIR MANAGER OR ASSISTANT
MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and dis-tribute
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 conflicts in any manner with a concession
sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are reponsible 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 17, 1985. Special parking facilities for the
Livestock 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 consider 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 premiums equally among ex-hibitors.
No premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrin-sic
merit.
23
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO EX-HIBITOR
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 atten-dants
as are necessary to handle and show livestock and other such exhibits. Any ex-hibitor
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 ex-hibitor
guilty of such violation will be exluded from further participation 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 Superintendent or Director. Rib-bons
will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded, if possi-ble,
but the ribbons have no value in the 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 Superinten-dent,
BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFICATION IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF,
AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE DIRECTOR OF THE ENTRY DEPART-MENT.
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, 1985, after which
time the books of the 1985 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

INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
COMPETITION: Limited to entries from North Carolina.
ENTRIES: Please note entry dates as specified in each Division. For all cut
specimens and arrangements, there are two shows and therefore two deadlines
for entries. Where made by mail, advance entries should be MADE EARLY. List
all cut flowers you expect to have; it is much easier to mark off the flowers that
do not bloom in time than to have entry tags made at the last minute. Entries for
each show should be on separate forms.
LOCATION: The flower show is on the west side of the grounds by the lake. Entry to
the area should be made through the L.R. Harrill Youth Center Gate 6. You are

HOW TO ENTER AN EXHIBIT: To exhibit in the flower show, fill out the entry blank in
the back of the premium book and mail to Entry Dept., NC State Fair, 1025 Blue

should be brought to the flower show area on the dates specified in this
catalog.
RELEASE OF EXHIBITS: Exhibits must be picked up on Sunday, October 27 be-tween
9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Any exhibit not claimed will be considered abandoned.
The State Fair will not in any way be responsible for them after that date and
hour. ABSOLUTELY NO EXHIBITS WILL BE REMOVED BEFORE SUNDAY
MORNING, OCTOBER 27.
SPECIAL NOTE: It is suggested that in hardening your flowers for exhibit that they be
cut early in the morning and placed in warm water (120 to 140 F), and allowed to
cool to room temperature. To keep them overnight, they should be kept in a cool
place. If available, cut flowers should be kept in a cooler at about 40 degrees F.

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, v/here 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 17.
6. Judging will begin at 8 a.m., Friday, October 18.
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 27.
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. Cblor 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.
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 im-portant
to give the illusion of an established planting than allowing room
56
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.)

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
E.xcept in cases of conflict, in which event the following Rules and Regulations 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 ENTER-ING
OR COMPETING IN THIS DEPARTMENT. 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 af-ter
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 request.
59
Use separate forms for entries in EACH CLASS—"!" Fruits and Nuts, and "2 and 3"
Vegetables, of this department, and separate forms for entries in eacli other depart-ment
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 pre-sented
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 16, 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. Ex-hibits
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 CONTAINERS,
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, 11 'A 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 ex-tra
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 3V2 inches
Bonum 2% to 3 inches
Delicious and named bud sports 2% to 3'4 inches
Grimes 2% to 3'4 inches
Jonathan 2% to 3 inches
Golden Delicious 2% to 3Vi inches
Rome and named bud sports 3 to 3'/2 inches
Stayman and named bud sports 3 to 3% inches
Winesap 2% to 3 inches
York and named bud sports 3'/8 to 3% inches
Fruits and vegetables to be exhibited in plates and trays should be carefully wrap-ped
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 rots, is unsightly or becomes unsightly will be removed
from display (after judging) at the discretion of the superintendent.
60
Quality—Not Quantity
In selecting horticultural products for exhibit, choose only those specimens 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 ad-mitted
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.
