The Society also has two perpetual trophies which are awarded for the most blue ribbons and the best entry in the arrangement classes excluding the judges', etiquette, personal adronment, and crafts classes. There are some years when no exhibitor received at least three blue ribbons and therefore the Retail Florists Trophy was not awarded. There are also years in which the top arrangement was thought not to merit the Hasco Trophy.
