There are currently four Yearbook articles available for download. The next two were written by Leonard Marshall, and describe his experiences growing various asiatic species. They contain excellent information about species culture, and using species in hybridizing. They are parts two and three of a three part series that was published in the 1981 and 1983 Yearbooks. The fourth article was written by Charles Kroell, and is an excellent introduction to using embryo culture in hybridizing.
