That concludes the photos of ADS award winners at the Murphys show. As best I can remember, there were no entries for Youth collection of 5, Historic collection, Species grown and shown in container, 3 minis by hybridizer, and 6 minis by hybridizer. The Havens Ribbon and Throckmorton Ribbon were not awarded although there were entries in those classes. I’ll let show chairman Bob Spotts correct or fill in missing information.

Kirby,
This is an extraordinary entry. Congratulations on the win.
And congratulations to all who managed to hang in there in spite of the weather. From the look of all your flowers, who could guess things were so bad.
