The kernel is the living organism, with food in store, and consists of the embryo, a miniature plantlett, with the life-principle and the albumen which nourishes the plant until the time that it can feed itself from the soil. The embryo consists of a stemlet and seed-leaves (Radicleand Cotyledons) lying dormant, but ready to burst forth into life when surrounded by the proper conditions of heat and moisture. .A- May be compared to a seed,but is more completely developed, more intimately connected with, and carries within itself a more intense image of the parent. Buds broken from our forest trees and sown with care, can often be made to grow. Some plants naturally multiply themselves by throwing off buds of some kind. The potato tuber consists of buds with a store of nourishment, all formed and thrown off from the roots, or rather from underground stems connected with the roots of the potato plant. Similar instances are found in the artichoke, dahlia, the bulbs and corms of the lily, the crocus, etc. The strawberry throws off buds from its runners; the blackcap raspberry from.
