Bertrand Farr Silver Medal

Established in 1950 and named for an early daylily nurseryman, this medal is a distinguished honor for members who have attained outstanding results in the field of daylily hybridizing. In general this award should honor only one person annually, but two awards have been given on occasion. The award can only be given to a single individual. Nominations may be submitted by any AHS member to the AHS Awards & Honors Chairman using the Award Nomination Form. A complete review of accomplishments should be made, including all awards, appearances on the Popularity Poll, and unusual accomplishments. Nominations are due by September 1st for the upcoming year. The AHS Board votes by secret ballot at the annual fall board meeting, and the award is presented at the following AHS National Convention.
