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. If 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.
7. A Champion and Reserve Champion will be chosen for each class from each of the purple
ribbon winners.
