Patriot Daylily Society

Presents Guest Speaker

Tim Herrington of Dublin, Georgia

Saturday, February 6^th, 2010

12 pm – 3 pm

Bedford Public Library

Mudge Way, Bedford, MA

Don’t miss our door prize plants kindly donated by Tim as well as an auction for 5 of his newer intros!

Anyone joining Patriot Daylily Society on that day will receive a free plant directly from Tim!

Tim and his late wife Katisue have hybridized both diploids and tetraploids in a variety of different styles, but with emphasis on spiders, unusual forms, doubles, and bold eyes. His hybridizing goals are to create vigor, health, a long period of bloom, rust resistance, eye appeal and distinction……something we’d like all of our daylilies to have so come listen and learn how Tim succeeds so well with his daylilies. Come one, come all, you don’t have to be a member to enjoy this great speaker and his love of our favorite flower.

Any questions please email cooke.k@comcast or call Karin Cooke 603-770-0517

Patriot Daylily Society Meeting
Saturday, February 6, 2010, noon to 3 PM, Bedford Library
Guest Speaker: Tim Herrington
Tim Herrington of Dublin, Georgia has been hybridizing and selling daylilies
since 1979, for 29 of those 31 years with his late wife Katisue, whose recent seedlings
are still being introduced. Both have hybridized both diploids and tetraploids in a
variety of different styles, but with emphasis on spiders, unusual forms and colors,
doubles, and bold eyes. He also hybridizes for rust-resistance (not a concern in New
England, but essential for Southern climes); his hybridizing goals are to create vigor,
health, a long period of bloom, rust resistance, eye appeal and distinction. Tim is
active in AHS Region 5 and was awarded the Regional Service Award for Region 5 in
2004. He is known to be very informative and entertaining as he speaks about his
collections and his hybridizing techniques and goals.
Members M-Z please bring a snack for our noon social time.

Thank you to all who made our Patriot Daylily Society show a success!
We couldn't have done it without the help of both the organizers and also the exhibitors.

Check out our PDS "store" on Cafepress at http://cafepress.com/patriotdaylily. We can upload designs and photos and make them available to our members or to the public at large. We have several designs. Anything with the PDS name has no markup, other items have small markup as a fundraiser. There is no cost for the store as long as we stay within their guidelines.

SHARE/SALES TABLES:
Winter reading will soon be upon us!
Bring in your Garden Books to swap and sell. Tables will be set up but need not be manned. Set your prices on each book with a paper list displayed as well. Those wanting to purchase will find you wearing your badges! 25% proceeds to PDS, honor system.

AUCTION/DOORPRIZES/SEEDS:
Bring in items and FILE CARDS in DUPLICATE with complete description, what it is for, who donated it, and how it is to be retrieved. One for the winner, and one for PDS archive. We need all this info from you to make it easier to keep track. Remember, we have more fun when everyone participates. A $2 donation is as welcome as a $50 one!

TRADES-
Time to start thinking about what you might have to trade with other PDS
members . There will be a list on the PDS WEBSITE
under the security section. Your list of HAVES and list of WANTS can be emailed to me anytime in the year.
