ANTHRACNOSE. This is a popular name for 
certain virulent fungoid diseases which attack various 
plants: French Bean, Vine, Currant, Spinach, Raspberry, 
Privet, Blackberry, and many others. The most 
destructive, however, is Vine Anthracnose, Phoma ampeli- 
num (Sphaceloma ampelina). In this case, leaves, stems, 
and fruit are all involved, and the disease, once it has 
obtained a hold, is difficult to combat. On the Continent 
Grape Anthracnose is very prevalent; it is also known in 
this country and in America. For full description, see 
Grape Anthracnose, Bean Anthracnose, &c.
