There is a fungous disease of the Norway maple which might 
be mistaken for leaf scorch by one unfamiliar with the latter 
trouble. This is an anthracnose’, Gloeosporium apocryptum E. & 
E., which attacks the leaves and young shoots. It is most severe 
on small trees, especially nursery trees, occurring but rarely on 
large shade trees. It attacks chiefly the terminal shoots, often 
transforming them into much branched “heads.” ‘The leaves are 
dwarfed and have a yellowish green color, with the margins curled 
downward and blackened as if slightly frosted. ‘This disease is 
prevalent in Long Island nurseries and has been observed at 
Geneva the present season on nursery trees and small shade trees.
