WHERE BUDS ARE.—Buds (ire borne in the axils of the leaves,—in the acute angle which the leaf makes with the stem. When the leaf is growing in the summer, a bud is forming above it. When the leaf falls, the bud remains, and a scar marks the place of the leaf. Fig. 53 shows the large leaf-scars of ailanthus. Observe those on the horse-chestnut, maple, apple, pear, basswood, or any tree or bush. 87. Sometimes two or more buds are borne in one axil : the extra ones are accessory supernumerary buds. Observe them in the Tartarian honeysuckle (common in yards), walnut, but- ternut, red maple, honey locust, and sometimes in the apricot and peach. 88. Shoots of many plants bear a bud at the tip: this is a terminal bud. It continues the growth of the axis in a direct line. Very often three or more buds are clustered at the tip (Fig. 54); and in this case there may be more buds than leaf-scars. Only one of them, how- ever, is strictly terminal. 89. Bulbs and cabbage heads may be likened to buds: that is, they are condensed stems, with scales or modified leaves densely overlapping and forming a rounded body. Fig. 55. They differ from true buds, however, in the fact.
