The Spring 2010 Daylily Journal.
Your Spring 2010 Daylily Journal mailed on time! If you haven't received it by April 5, please email Pat Mercer, AHS Executive Secretary: secretary@daylilies.org.
Two other publications are riding along with The Daylily Journal this time: Sources 2010 and The AHS Supplement. Souces 2010 is a new publication, and it contains ads and a list of places that might have the exact daylily you are looking for! Also, it has a list of AHS Display Gardens. It's smaller, easily stowed in the telephone drawer or someplace in the car. We hope you enjoy it! The annual AHS Supplement contains all sorts of AHS business information and exhibition results.
On the cover of The Daylily Journal, we feature the six-region winner (and top vote getter) of the annual Popularity Poll, 'Primal Scream' (Hanson-C., 1994). Then inside, we show the results, region by region, of this important poll. We have a terrific mix of hybridizing features and science stories in this issue. The much-requested genetics series is beginning penned by Dr. Maurice Dow. Dr. Steve Thien continues his series on how soil impacts plant growth in this edition as well. Our "How to hybridize" series features Sandy Holmes' take on the subject. Don Herr (Region 3) and Jimmy Terrio (Region 13) are our featured hybridizers. You'll enjoy Terri Jones' musings on her evolving relationship with daylilies. Many of you who are active on the Robin may have seen an entry from Teresa Dillon (Region 2 Robin) regarding a high school teacher in Dayton, Ky. who received a large grant to help her
students study daylily hybridizing. We thought that could be a full-blown story and fortunately, the teacher, Lisa Klette, was very cooperative with us. Finally, we have a rust update as well as a story on the daylily gall midge.
There's something for everyone in this edition!
By the way, your new AHS membership card is on the insert in this edition! Don't forget to clip it and put it in your wallet! If you haven't renewed your membership, now's the time at: http://www.daylilies.org/AHSmemb.html.
