Abstract
DURING the past five or six years I have been specially interested in strawberry black root or root rot in relation to its effect on the deterioration of strawberry plantations in America, especially in Ontario, Canada. In many localities in the United States of America and in Canada root rot is a factor of great importance and is considered by many as being one of the fundamental causes of failure in strawberry cultivation. So important is this trouble considered to be that it is now being critically studied in many laboratories in the United States of America and in Canada, among others at St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, by Walker and Hildebrand under my direction.
