THE LITERATURE OF ORCHID HYBRIDS. 
THE literature of Orchid Hybrids is becoming rather extensive, and the 
following list of works and papers dealing with various phases of the 
subject will probably be found useful. It does not profess to be exhaustive, 
but contains most of the principal works that were readily accessible at 
the time it was compiled, and includes many papers on Natural Hybrids 
belonging to cultivated genera.
