Suckers are shoots sent up from the roots. We observe them most frequently around trees that have had their roots wounded by the spa<le or plow. The wounds induce the formation of buds, and these buds send up shoots. They are occasionally iised from necessity for stocks, but should not be employed where seedlings can be obtained. Occasionally, we find certain varieties of plum throw up fine vigorous suckers, that would make excellent slocks if taken ofi" with good roots ; but their tendency to produce suckers renders them exceedingly annoying in gardens, and, on this account, objectionable. The roots of the raspberry are full of buds, and, consequently, throw up great quantities of snckers, and the smallest cuttings.
