Apple twig, showinff an expandinc flower-bud. BtJCKWKEAT (Fagopjrum escuUntiim, Moench). PolijgouAcece. A tender annual grain plant, flour being made of the large 3-cornered fruit. It is much grown in the northern U. S., usually being sown about the first of July. It is also a favorite for bee forage. Buckwheat is native to central Siberia and Manchuria, and is now widely cult., although it is a grain of secondary impor- tance. The flower-cluster is shown in Fig. 276. The Tartarian Buckwheat {F. Tatdrictim, ) is occa- sionally seen. It has smaller and yellowish fls., and a smaller, roughish, wavy-angled fruit. BUD. The undeveloped or embryo state of a branch. As conamonly known to the horticulturist, the bud is a more or less dormant organ ; that is, the horticulturist does not recognize the bud until it has attained sufficient size to be obvious or to suggest some practice in the treatment of the plant. In this state the bud usually represents a resting stage of the plant. The bud-cover- ing protects the growing point in the cold or dry season. The bud is a shortened axis or very condensed branch. 111^ 277.
