The Horticultural Society of New York has decided to hold an Inter- 
national Conference on Plant Breeding and Hybridization some time in the 
autumn of rg02. A preliminary programme of subjects has been issued 
over the signature of Dr. Britton, the chairman of Council, in which we 
notice a paper on— 
Orchid Hybrids. (Illustrated by specimens of the parents and progeny). 
By Oakes Ames, Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Easton, Mass. 
Also the following papers of a general character which may possibly 
contain facts of interest to Orchidists :-— 
Variations in Hybrids, not appearing in the First Generation, but later. By 
E. S. Goff, Horticulturist, Agricultural Experiment Station, University of 
Wisconsin. 
Cytological Aspects of Hybrids. By W. A. Cannon, Columbia University, 
New York City. 
Other papers, the titles of which have not yet been communicated, are 
also promised from various experimentalists. The dates have not yet been 
fixed, but further particulars will be made public as arrangements are con- 
cluded. For information relative to the Conference, address all correspon- 
dence to the secretary, Leonard Barron, 136, Liberty Street, New York.
