  18. Notes from: Becky DeShazoCDE Floriculture Texas “expert” Teachers who train this team seem to work together.  The test bank is on the Texas FFA web page CDE page.  To be competitive, the students must get every question right.  While the questions don't change, the order of the answers do. We are always on the look out for a plant that is a little different from the one we know.  • Example, wandering jewis green and purple but occasionally you can find one that is green with no purple.

  19. Good References • Printed Materials • Horticultural Plant Production, IMS #362 • Floral Design and Interior Landscape Development, IMS #363 • Computer software • Horticopia A to Z (CD-ROM) • Online • Interiorscape Plants Database: Aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/tamuhort.html • Other • A manual for flower judging. (1998). Call to order (715)425-3345

  20. Notes from: Becky DeShazoCDE Floriculture Texas “expert” • If you are fortunate enough to make it to the national contest, take a deep breath because it has very little in common with our state contest.  • To be competitive there, students HAVEto be able to: • make designs • study lots of materials • etc.
