A text-book of mycology and plant pathology

A text-book of mycology and plant pathology, by John W. Harshberger 1917 786p (because of the size I have to break it up into 4 books)

Physical book purchase comes with digital copy

This book is the outcome of twenty-seven years' experience, as a teacher of botany, during which fifteen years have been given to a graduate course on the morphology, classification and physiology of the fungi, and five years to a course which combined with this consideration a parallel study of the most important cultural and inoculation methods used by the practical bacteriologist and mycologist at the present day. The English and Germans have led ni the production
of text-books on mycology and pathology; Berkeley, Smith, Cooke and Massee in England, Frank, Sorauer, von Tubeuf and Küster in Germany. Americans have been behind in this important field, notwithstanding, that American plants harbor some of the most destructive fungi, which, through our careless methods of agriculture
and horticulture up to the present, are annually destructive to the extent of millions of dollars. This lack is being rapidly remedied and the appearance of text-books by Duggar, Stevens, Hall and Stevens, Mel .T Cook and general monographs by Erwin T. Smith, and others, augurs well for the future of this line of literary and scientific labor.
The bacteriologists have led and mycologists should follow.

Im a bit new to book binding. So the finish may not be perfect. But I will do my very best to make you a fine product. As time goes on and I get more experience, the books will become much nicer finish wise.
