that date is regarded and regular registration. No on-site registration will be accepted at the conference. Cucurbitaceae 2002 8-12 December 2002 Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, Naples, Florida, USA Cucurbitaceae 2002: Enhancement and Evaluation of Cucurbit Germplasm, is scheduled for Naples, Florida, during the winter of 2002. The purpose of the conference is to bring together those involved in cucurbits so we can share information on all aspects of cucurbit research, development and production. The conference will focus on genetics and breeding for variety development. Conference sessions will be comprised of presentations organized from individual paper submissions on genetics, horticulture, plant pathology, entomology and other topics. You are invited to join us for this indepth conference on exploring the ever-changing face of cucurbit research and development. A Call for Papers and Posters will be issued to solicit papers for individual presentations. All presentations, both oral and poster, will be selected from submitted papers. Plenary sessions will consist of invited speakers along individual oral presentations. Each topical session will be followed by time to view poster displays pertaining to the same topic. Topics will focus on plant breeding and genetics, growth and development, production, pathobiology, entomology, physiology, and production utilization and processing, along with new technologies being used in the field. The conference will provide numerous opportunities for participants to share up-to-date information and research, and to discuss common concerns with colleagues from around the world. This exchange of information is vital to the continued improvement and international advancement of cucurbits. So mark your calendar today and make plans to attend.

New Watermelon Book The American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS) Press has released a new book on watermelons: “Watermelons: Characteristics, Production and Marketing” (D. Maynard, ed.) Watermelon experts throughout the USA have contributed to the book, and everything from littleknown facts to current pest management, production, handling and marketing practices are included. Contents include: introduction to the watermelon; origin, distribution and uses; breeding and improvement; biotechnology; cultural management; nematodeinduced maladies; diseases; insect and mite pests; weed management; harvesting and postharvest handling; marketing; and promotion and merchandising. The appendices include: watermelon organizations; watermelon seed sources; cucurbit publications; costs of production; and common names in 15 languages. The book is $50.95 US + shipping for ASHS members, and $59.95 + shipping for non-members. You can contact ASHS press at Ph: (703) 836-4606; Fax: (703) 836- 2024; or view their webpage at:

Conference Proceedings Not all of us are fortunate enough to attend all of the cucurbit conferences that have occurred in the past decade. Fortunately, many of proceedings from these conferences are still available for ordering: Proceedings of the VII Eucarpia Meeting on Cucurbit Genetics and Breeding (2000), Ma’ale Ha Hamisha, Israel. Edited by N. Katzir & H.S. Paris. Available through ISHS press at: http://www.ishs.org/pub/510.htm These are the proceedings from Cucurbitaceae 2000, the VII Eucarpia meeting on cucurbit genetics and breeding. The 2000 meeting was convened to present the latest developments in cucurbit genetics, breeding, germplasm enhancement, pathology and related fields. The Meeting was held at the Ma'ale Hachamisha Kibbutz Hotel and Convention Center, situated in the foot hills of the Judean Mountains in Israel. Cucurbitaceae ’98: Evaluation and Enhancement of Cucurbit Germplasm (1998). Edited by J.D. McCreight. Available from ASHS press at: http://www.ashs.org/ashspress/ cucurbit.html These are the proceedings of the 1998 conference held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. The conference was convened by ASHS, USDA, CGC and the Cucurbit Network. Topics of the conference included the collection, preservation, characterization, evaluation, and enhancement of cucurbit germplasm. The six major topic areas were: germplasm resources; genetics; breeding; pathology; entomology, and production. More than 60 papers were presented at the meeting, making this volume one of the most significant sources of cucurbit germplasm currently available. 1 st International Symposium on Cucurbits (1999). Edited by K Abak and S. Büyükalaca. Available from ISHS press at: http://www.ishs.org/pub/492.htm These are the proceedings from the ISHS symposium held in Adan, Turkey, in 20-23 May 1997. The symposium covered all scientific disciplines of relevance to cucurbits. The primary emphasis was on genetics, breeding, biotechnology, physiology, postharvest technology, growing techniques, marketing and economics. Other Proceedings: CGC has a very limited supply of the proceedings from Cucurbitaceae ’94 (Padre Island, TX, USA) and Cucurbitaceae ’96 (Malaga, Spain). Please check with the CGC Chair about their availability, if interested. The Proceedings from the 1 st International Oil Pumpkin Conference were published in CGC Report No. 24 (2000).
