Hibernation probably occurs in two ways, by the teleu- tospores and by the mycelium, which may remain alive in the affected parts over winter. Anthracnose (Colletotrichum Trifolii Bain). — This anthrac- nose is now loiown in Ten- nessee, Ohio, West Virginia, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Dela- ware. It is first found chiefly upon the leaf stalks, later upon the stems, near the surface of the ground and just below the flower clusters, as elongated sunken spots, which result eventually in the death of the whole plant. It frequently causes great loss, and is said by Bain to be the most serious plant disease in Tennessee. The same disease occurs upon alfalfa, but alsike clover is nearly immune. The greatest hope lies in the breeding of resistant varieties. Anthracnose (Gloeosporium caulivorum Kirchner).— Long, brown to black, sunken spots upon stems and petioles, causing death of the more distal parts, are diagnostic characters of this anthracnose, which was first reported in.
