DAYLILY (Hemerocallis) 
TO OUR CUSTOMERS: ° 
Until 1946, there existed no Hemerocallis organization, but during this year we are pleas- 
ed to state that “‘The Midwest Hemerocillis Society has been formed. We are members. This so- 
ciety has issued their first year book and a great deal of confusion has been eliminated from the 
Hemerocallis field; in that most breeders of Daylilies have “remodeled” the names of some of 
their introductions. when they had been duplicated by others. The first introducer keeping his 
named varieties, while their later similar names have been changed. 
We find that in Mr. LeMoine Bechtold’s Hemerocallis, that we are intreducing, there had 
been like names used on a few of the varieties prior to our listing so you will find these corrected 
in our list; showing the new name and the old one. For example: Delightful Duet (new name 
for Delight). 
We wish any customer who has purchased Hemerocallis from us and are keeping the 
varieties labeled, to go over the group and change the name where changes have been made. 
Then in the future, there will be no duplications or confusions in named varieties. 
Thank you, 
GILBERT H. WILD & SON.
