PLATE 3 
A. —The same jars as those illustrated in Plate 2, D. The com plants were 27 days 
old. The growth of the plants appeared to be inhibited to a slight extent by 
Fusarium moniliforme. 
B. —The same jars as those illustrated in Plate 2, E. The com plants were 27 days 
old. Only one plant was alive in the jars inoculated with Gibberella saubinetii and 
it made very slow growth. G. saubinetii appeared to be the most active of the several 
pathogenes with which experiments were made. 
C. —Three jars in the third series. Com plants 11 days old. The two jars on the 
right were inoculated with the fungus so prevalent in seed com in the United States 
and which was tentatively referred to the species Cephalosporium sacehari Butler 
by Manns and Adams; the one on the left was a control. C. sacehari in these experi¬ 
ments apparently had no effect on the seedling plants, since no difference is noticeable 
between those inoculated and the control. 
D. —Three jars in the third series. Com plants 11 days old. The two jars on the 
right were inoculated with Cephalosporium sacehari Butler, the organism forwarded 
by Dr. Butler from Dr. Shaw, Pusa, India, to the senior author; the one on the left 
was a control. This organism, which proved to be a Fusarium in the hands of the 
writers, apparently has an inhibiting effect on the growth of com seedlings and may 
destroy them.
