Butler) The student who is interested in the fungous diseases of plantswill find it desirable at the outset to acquire a knowledge of pure-culture methods. The investigator in plant patholog} can only pro^ceed confidently in his work when he has had practical training in 9 lO CULTURE METHODS AND TECHNIQUE the cultivation of fungi in the laboratory. This work has becomeincreasingly more important in recent years. Laboratory culturemethods were not generally applied to a study of the filamentousfungi until some years after bacteriology had been revolutionizedby a series of important discoveries in this line of technique. It isat once evident that the bacteria could never be studied advanta-geously except through the establishment of pure-culture methods,whereas the larger fungi were to the early systematists a
