Q.1
Vegetable Science- ICAR JRF/SRF 2024 (Q.55)
MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1
According to Society of American Florists (SAF) what does Blue, Red and Green represents?
EXPLANATION Chrysanthemum, Gladiolus and Lilium Production
  • Society of American Florists (SAF) Grading Standards:
  • SAF established commercial color-coded stem grading standards for cut flowers (such as carnations and roses) based on stem length and flower quality:
  • Blue Tag: Blue grade (Fancy / longest premium stems).
  • Red Tag: Red grade (Standard / intermediate stems).
  • Green Tag: Green grade (Short / economy stems).
  • Therefore, Blue, Red, and Green represent commercial cut flower Grade.
  • Correct Option: Option 4 (Grade).
