THE ORCHID REVIEW. 
VoL. VII. 
NOTES. 
THE event of the month will be the International Conference on Hybridisation, 
convened by the Royal Horticultural Society, which will be opened at the 
Society’s Gardens at Chiswick, on Tuesday, July r1th, and continued on 
the following day at the Society’s Rooms, 117 Victoria St., Westminster. 
All Plant-growers, whether Amateurs or Nurserymen, are particularly 
requested to exhibit Hybrid or Cross-bred Plants (whether in bloom or not), 
with their Parents, on the first day. All Plants should arrive at the 
Society’s Gardens at Chiswick, at or before 11.30 a.m., and may be 
removed at 5 p.m. 
New or Rare Plants may also be exhibited for Certificates exactly in the 
same way as at the ordinary fortnightly meetings at the Drill Hall, 
but no ordinary groups will be admitted on this occasion. 
The various Committees will meet at 12 o’clock, noon, to adjudicate 
- upon the exhibits, and the following conditions specially apply. 
It is requested that full particulars of the origin and parentage of all 
the hybrids exhibited, be given on special cards (which will be supplied to 
exhibitors, and should be applied for beforehand), each plant on a separate 
card, so as to facilitate comparison and avoid confusion. 
Awards will be given to meritorious exhibits of Hybrids, and we note 
eight Veitch Memorial Medals are offered, one of them to the raiser 
of the best new Orchid intentionally raised by cross-breeding or 
hybridisation in Great Britain, and never previously exhibited, and another 
to the best raised abroad, under the same conditions. A Williams 
Memorial Medal is also offered for the best collection of Hybrid and 
Cross-bred Plants.
