FUNGUS OF THE CLEMATIS. 



The sudden dying of clematis plants, 

 especially wherever the large-flowered 

 kinds are grown extensively in Amer- 

 ica and Europe, has been noted for 

 many years, and the cause and methods 

 for prevention of this disease have re- 

 cently been reported in the Journal of 

 Agricultural Research. The investiga- 

 tor found that the primary cause of 

 the dying of the plants is a fungus 

 known as Ascochyta clematidina. Ex- 

 periments have shown that the. trans- 

 ferring of this fungus to healthy plants 

 causes them to take the disease. 



The disease shows itself differently 

 on various species. On hybrids grown 

 in the field it is a stem-rot, while at 

 the greenhouse where cuttings are 

 propagated it is a leaf -spot as well as 

 stem-rot. On Clematis paniculata the 

 disease takes both forms. 



The following methods for controlling 

 this fungus, are recommended: 



"There is less disease when the hy- 

 brids are supported while growing than 

 when they are permitted to trail on the 

 ground. In the case of Clematis panicu- 

 lata, however, the selling price of this 

 variety does not warrant incurring the 

 expense of supports. The author in this 

 case advises transplanting the plants 

 from the beds to the open field after 

 the first year and placing them far

 lightly, controls the disease on Clematis
