The most interesting bacterial disease of plants is generally conceded to be that known as crown-gall, or plant can- cer. It is induced by a tumor-producing organism, Pseudomonas tumefaciens. The attention of medical men has been directed to this plant disease particu- larly through some striking analogies to human cancer as revealed more es- pecially through the elaborate investi- gations of Dr. Erwin F. Smith, of the bureau of plant industry, Washington, D. C, says the April bulletin of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Dr. Smith lias demonstrated that from the primary tumors produced by the bacteria, there originate certain infection strands, and these are pictured as grow- ing through the tissues of the host, in- ducing secondary tumor formation at greater or less distances from the pri- mary infection. It is also believed that in a case where the primary infection is that of a stem and the invading strand enters a leaf, stem tissue will be pro- duced in this secondary area. The causal bacterium is able to infect a great va- riety of host plants and frequently pro- duces on apples, grapes, raspberries and a variety of other cultivated plants cer- tain characteristic swelling
