IN this book are presented many of the vital facts brought 

 to light by modern research in plant pathology, which 

 should be invaluable to farmers, gardeners, and every one 

 interested in plants. It is of equal usefulness as a reference 

 book or as a textbook for college or university instruction. 

 There is embodied a comprehensive discussion of the chief 

 fungous diseases of cultivated and familiar plants. The value 

 of the bacteriological method in plant pathology is emphasized 

 by special chapters giving concise methods for the cultivation 

 of parasitic fungi. Important physiological relations of these 

 plants are also presented in sufficient detail to give the reader 

 the salient facts which have been developed. 



The arrangement of topics is in taxonomic sequence with 

 respect to the fungi, so that morphological study is most effec- 

 tive ; and, moreover, there is a full treatment of pathological 

 modifications. 



Each disease is discussed with reference to its occurrence, 

 the nature of the lesions or processes jnduced, the structure, 

 life history, and cultural relations of the causal fungus, and 

 practical methods for prevention or control. 



The literature of the subject is freely cited, and a host index 

 provides a ready reference to all of the important fungous 

 diseases occurring upon any host. The method of treatment 

 followed is intended to facilitate and stimulate the work of the 

 student and to enlarge the interests of the general reader.
