IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The AHS Scientific Studies Committee has the Joe E. House Fund that provides funding for scientific studies.

This fund was woefully inadequate to fund further study on rust or other scientific studies. Now, with the help of our AHS members, we have come a long way. Thank you!!

However, our plea to each AHS region is to continue to donate to the Joe E. House Fund. This will enable us to likewise continue the support of daylily research. If you want to specify the type of research for your donation, please do so.

Donations to the Joe E. House Fund should be sent to

Kay Day Pricola
P.O. Box 1611
Brawley, CA 92227
972-897-8227
kay.day@att.net


The check should be made payable to AMERICAN HEMEROCALLIS SOCIETY with a notation in the lower left area - Joe E. House Fund.
