Dear Mr. Perdue: 
The strawberry plants selected from your various plant¬ 
ings by Dr. G. S. Lankford and Mr. R. J. Christie have all been 
examined carefully for Dwarf (crimp) disease. 
You will be glad to know, I am sure, that no infestation 
was found on any of the plants. Very truly yours, 
C. E. TEMPLE, State Plant Pathologist.
