1. Review General Rules.
2. All leaf exhibits are to be mounted on 8 1/2 X 11" heavy stock paper and be placed in loosed-leaf binders. (Magnetic or adhesive filler sheets for photographic prints are recommended.) Twigs and fruit collections may be exhibited in whatever manner you choose (maximum size 2 X 3'.)
3. Exhibitor's name, club, age and year in project should be on front cover in a prominent location.
4. For ideas on mounting, see the Forestry Project Member's Guide (4-H 279). Exhibit one complete leaf where possible. Where leaf is too large, exhibit as much of the terminal portions as possible. Sketch in reduced scale the entire leaf and illustrate where the exhibited portion comes from.
5. Leaves should be identified with an appropriate label located near the leaf on the same page. These labels should include the proper common name (as listed in 4-H Bulletin 334, "List of Native Kansas Trees"), location (city and/or county where collected), and date (day, month, year) collected.
6. Divide specimens into the following two sections: Native Kansas Trees and Non-Native Trees.
