Thickened or fleshy rootstocks, such as tho!!e of Solomon's Seal (Fig. 63) and Iris (Fig. 64), have ah*eady been illustrated (76). 105. A Tuber is a rootstock thickened at the end, as already explained in the Potato and Ground Artichoke (74,75, Fig. 59, 60). The eyes of a tuber are lively biJds, well supplied with nourishment for their growth. 106. A Corm or Solitl Bulb, as of Gladiolus and Crocus (Fig. 76), is a sort of rounded tuber. If well covered with thick scales it would become 107. A Bulb. This is a (mostly subterranean) stem, so short as to be only a flat plate, producing roots from its lower sui'face and above covered with thickened scales, — as was fully explained in the last section (77). 108. Bulbs are scahj, as in the Lily (Fig. 66), when the scales are narrow ; or coated, as an onion, when the scales enwrap each other, and form Corm of Crocui, with 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 Gray, Asa, 1810-1888.
