Placement on stem	20
Substance of flowers	10
Form of flowers	10
Color of flowers	10
Total	100

Exception: In selecting entry to receive the Earl Hornback Award neither the age of the plant, size of specimen, amount of infloresence, not placement in class are to be considered. The winning specimen must have true distinction and in the opinion of the judges, reporesent the greatest advance in breeding.
