. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. Fig. i8. Fig. 19. Fig. 20. Fig. 21. FIG. M. The Downward Flow of Sap, Causing Swellings, Callus, and Roots. through the sap-wood, but through the inner or living bark, and building up the new plant tissues. This new layer being soft and fresh, interposed between them, causes that separa- tion known as the peeling of the bark. The sap is capable of moving sidewise, laterally through the various vessels or microscopic tubes. Hence some trees may be cut at one point more than half through on one side, and at another point more than half through on the other side, without intercepting the upward flow of sap, as in Fig. 18. The lateral motion explains the reason why a graft set in the longitudinal cleft of a stock receives the sap from the split surfaces of the cleft, and succeeds as well as when cross sec- tions of both are brought into Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Thomas, J.
