Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1936 VINES of the grape, are mortified branches or stems; others, as those of the pea anrt cobsea, are modifiert leaflets; still others, as in some species of lathynis, are modified stip- ules. True tendrils are always definitely arranged with reference to the position of the leaves. The young ex- tended tendril usually swings about in a circle or ellipse, its end being somewhat bent or coiled. When this end. 2575. The coiling of ready to eraap a support; b, shows the coiline of the tendril-branches and the straight or not-coiled spaces where the direction of the coil is reversed. Cassa- strikes a support it fastens itself securely, and then the plant is drawn to the .support or held to it by the coiling of the tendril. This coil also serves as a spring whereby the plant is held to its support during winds. The con- tinuous coiling of the tendril in one direction would twist the tendril in two; therefore, tendrils usually coil in more than one direction, one part of the length being coiled from right to left and another part from left to right.
