1 Circular 4HEHL 24 Florida 4-H Horticulture Identification and Judging Study Manual: Vegetables 1 J. M. Stephens 2 There are 45 vegetables you should know in preparing for the 4 H Horticulture Contest. Each has been selected based on its popularity as an item in gardens, fields, and/or market places throughout the state. Each is listed alphabetically according to its common name. The scientific name is included to establish a positive identity and for reference purposes. Contestants should keep in mind that any characteristic plant part may be shown to test identification skills. However, the more common a vegetable might be, the more likely it is that a plant part other than the main edible part would appear in "The Contest." The plants in this section of the study manual are described using many botanical terms. These terms are used to describe types of leaves, leaf position and arrangement, leaf shapes, leaf margins, flower parts and flower arrangement. It may be helpful, when studying these plant descriptions, to refer to the glossary of terms located in the rules and glossary section of the Florida 4 H Horticulture Identification and Judging Study Manual. Space is provided for you to write notes that help you identify the plant. You may also want to cut out photographs from old nursery magazines and catalogs to glue or tape in this manual to further help you in identification. Artichoke, Globe (Cynara scolymus) The edible heads are immature, unopened flower buds. Each large bud is globular, bluntly pine-cone shaped and composed of many layers of deep green bracts. The edible parts are the fleshy bases of the bracts and the center or heart to which the bracts and violet colored flower parts are attached. The plant is tall growing, spreading, with deeply notched, pointed leaves which attach to a stump several inches in diameter. See Figure 1. Figure 1. Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) 1.
