Among the numerous strains of marrowfat peas 
tested the above were the soundest, and these were con- 
sequently selected for the infection experiments. Table 
II shows the results of the field-peas used for the in- 
fections. The peas were treated in the same way as 
the above, but were not left to swell in water before 
testing.

The seeds were allowed to germinate in saw dust 
and were then put into pots containing soil collected 
in the Lund Botanical Gardens from places where le- 
gumes had never been grown. The plants were kept 
in the laboratory greenhouse at a temperature of 16 — 
18° C in the day time, and never less than 14° C at 
night. Soil-infection, above-ground and seed-inoculation 
were all tried, and the results are put together in the 
following tables (III — VI).
