caused by Fusarium Lini, but also is moderately resistant to the flax rust in 

 his "A study of wilt resistance in flax". 



The writer fortunately obtained in the spring of 1925, the seed of various 

 valuable varieties and strains which were tested by Henky and Bakkek, from 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Those varieties 

 and strains were used in inoculation experiments as shown in Chapter VIII. 

 The following varieties and strains were found by the writer's experiments 

 to be highly resistant or immune to the rust. They are : 



1. Argentine (Henry). 



2. Argentine selection (Dii.i.man). 



3. Belgium (seed) (T). 



4. Cayagneo (Dillman). 



5. Ottawa 770 B (Robinson). 



6. Williston Golden (Dillman). 



The results obtained by the inoculation e.xperiments with the rust-resistant 

 or immune varieties and strains already described, may be summarised in the 

 following table. 



Table XXVI. Results of inoculation experiments with the rust- 

 resistant or immune varieties or strains. 



The results of the writer's experiments shown in the above table indicate 

 that they are entirely in accord with Henky's suggestions.
