The illustration (Fig. 65) shows the "ring" marking the beginning of the annual growth. See the large leaf-scars. ISTotice that the terminal bud is much the largest. It is the one which will o-row. The other buds will remain dormant unless they are forced into growth by the death of the terminal bud or by other unusual cir- cumstance. Notice that buds differ in size on shoots of all plants: con- sider that not all the buds are to grow: there is struggle for existence. When the hickory bud expands, some of the scales fall away; but some of the inner parts enlarge into leaf-like bodies, as shown in Fig. ^Q. In some hick- ories these bodies become two or three inches long before they fall. 32 497.
