Congratulations to
many of our CDS Exhibitors who have had big wins at the shows this year. Jesse Peterson won King of the Show at CT,
Long Island and Rhode Island along with numerous other wins. Barbara LaRochelle won both King and Queen
of the show at the Mid Island show along with numerous other wins in four
shows. Donna Paternostro won the Queen
of the Show at Long Island. Dottie and
Dave Crockett had many wins in four shows and Jon Wooten captured many of the
basket classes in the shows and his son James also won in three shows.
Our October bloom
contest is always fun so if you still have some, bring them along. One prize for the Best AA, A, or B bloom and
another prize for one in BB size on down.
Display them in your own containers.
Root cutting is
always part of our October Meeting, so for our new members, this gives you a chance
to see it done by our society members.
Storage techniques will also be demonstrated.
