Buds of same enlarged. Flower-buds at /; leaf- buds at I. times called fruit buds, but, of course, the flower must always precede the formation of the fruit, so it is best to call them flower buds. Just below each bud is a leaf scar. Sometimes we will find the leaf scars, though the buds are apparently not there. They are there, however, but too small to be seen. They do not grow unless the end of the branch is removed. Such buds as do not grow except when stimulated are called latent buds. (Fig. 51.).
