While this latterfruit was growing, side shoots started off in twodirections, one extending to / and the other tog. During the following winter the tip of thebranch g died, and in the spring two shootssprung from it, one growing to d and bearinga fruit, and the other to e and not branch 1) f made a number of lateral shoots,for its tip also had died before the growing sea-son began. The twig 48, then, is four years old. HOW GRAPES BEAR 63 In like way, the reader may trace the historyof any of the hickories (Fig. 49), butternut andwalnuts, in all of which the fruit-bearing isalso CO-terminal. GRAPES AND BRAMBLES A bit of a grape cane, with a bud, is shown inFig. 50. In May, this bud has given rise to ashoot like that in Fig. 51. Asthe shoot grows, flower-clustersarise. Two such clusters arenow well developed, and a thirdis forming near the tip; andthe shoot will continue to growfro
