72 PROTECTION OF PLANTS, 1918-19 



ABSTRACTS OF CANADIAN PLANT DISEASE LITERATURE 

 Edited by W. A. McCubbin 



The abstracts given herein cover all the Canadian literature on plant diseases 

 up to January 1st, 1919. There are not included in this list any articles from the 

 Ottawa Field Naturalist, The Canadian Forestry Journal, The Canadian 

 Horticulturist, the Farmer's Advocate, or other similar publications. The 

 editor is indebted to a large number of Canadian botanists and plant pathologists 

 for their assistance in supplying either abstracts of articles or the articles them- 

 selves, and it is hoped that the present list when added to the newly begun 

 "Botanical Abstracts," will give a means of reference to practically all Canadian 

 literature on plant diseases. It should be noted, however, that this list contains 

 only those articles which have been published in Canadian bulletins or periodicals. 

 Many other articles by Canadian authors, in fact the great majority, have made 

 their appearance in other periodicals in the United States or elsewhere, and of 

 which none are included here. 



Where not otherwise stated the abstraction has been done by the editor.
