Definitions of Classes of Auricula, Polyanthus and Primrose
Show Auriculas are either edge or self-coloured. They invariably have white paste centres.
Alpine Auriculas have pips of one colour, though of varying shades of that colour, the deeper shade towards
the centre, the paler towards the edge. No farina is to be found on any part of an Alpine Auricula. The
centres may be either gold or cream-coloured.
Border or Garden Auriculas, are somewhat similar to Alpine Auriculas, but the colour shading is much less
definite. They are coarser plants than Alpine varieties, and farina may be found on foliage or flower scapes.
Florists' Auriculas should not be confused with Primulas belonging to the Auricula Section. This latter
includes P.auricula and its varieties, and such well-known hybrids as P. 'Linda Pope'; the term '' Auricula'' is
commonly applied to the florists varieties, and not to species and their hybrids.
The plant known as P. 'Barrowby Gem' is a Polyanthus, and the group covered by the name Juliae hybrids
should be classed as Primroses; P. Garryarde Guinevere' is a Polyanthus.
Members who are in doubt as to which classes their exhibits belong should consult the Show Secretary.

A summer event to celebrate rock gardening
This event celebrates the fact that the SRGC is a garden club and the plants which members grow. It will
illustrate and the beauty, diversity and garden worthiness of the widest range of rock and woodland garden
plants, bulbs, shrubs and trees, to encourage their cultivation in gardens and to encourage the exchange of
plants and knowledge among gardeners. The display is not intended to be floral art.
Two talks by Susann Nilsson
11:00 Pulsatillas
2:30 Treasures in Mongolia & Eastern Russia
Susann Nilsson has travelled widely in her natuve Sweden & Northern Europe. With Olgo Bondareva she has
botanised in many parts of Russia. She has contributed articles to the SRGC’s International Rock Gardener &
the SRGC Forum. Susann is part of the new wave of electronically connected rockgardeners.
A display of rock garden plants, flowers, foliage and fruit
Featuring rock plants in pots – bulbs - cut stems of flowers - cut stems of shrubs - cut stems of trees We want
a much wider range of exhibits than the usual shows allow for, celebrating plants in flower, using cut stems,
as well as plants in pots. We want members to show plants suitable for most gardens, as well as any special
plants or plants for special situations. Seedling and plant exchange Members can donate pots of seedlings of
which they have enough transplants for their own needs to share with other members. Pots to be labelled
with variety - sowing date, source and number eg SRGC 2011 No. 1234 [if possible]. Pots should also
contain a ‘reasonable number’ of seedlings. Large germinations can be split into several pots as appropriate
This sound ecological practice, will result in recipient gardeners enjoying a wider range of plants and more of
the seeds distributed by the SRGC will be grown on to maturity.
Contributions are invited for a 50:50 plant sale
Space will be available for Display Exhibits of photographs etc – contact Sandy Leven in advance
Exhibits should be named as accurately as possible.
Ideally, the Display Card would include :- plant name, grower and the area or town where grown It could
also include
 information if the grower wanted to provide any eg country of origin, introduced by?
 special requirements if any e.g. - shelter, frost tender, care needed in different seasons, sea side,
soil conditions, position etc
 date of sowing, date of cutting
 where it might be purchased - nursery etc
 are there plants for sale on the sales table? - [tick box]
 photographs of the plants growing in the garden or wild can accompany exhibits.
Exhibitors must supply their own containers which must be watertight. Cut stems can be displayed in
 vases or glasses and tumblers, bottles - depending on the exhibit
 used tins of various sizes, with the label removed. [with the cut edge rounded]
 Oasis in dishes, tins or jars
 The cut stems can be in water, wet sand, gravel or Oasis foam or similar material.
 The container must be heavy enough to allow it to stand upright with the exhibit

Previous events in 2012 have been a great success. Thank you to everyone who took part. The first SRGC shows
were held in the 1930’s and life has changed a lot since then. We encourage you all to use your imagination and
bring as much vitality to the displays and exhibits as possible. All aspects of club life evolve and our club must
evolve with it. Is you missed last year’s Summer Event, there are photographs on the SRGC web site.
It would be great if everyone brought some plants to the show.
