That is, do they make single ter-minal buds the first year or two from theseed, and afterwards begin a new habit ofbud-bearing? If the pupil does not haveaccess to young plants, he may examine thesprouts or suckers which spring from tueroots of common bushes, as lilacs, roses,spireas, osiers, willows, barberries, privets,and the like. He may also study the horse-chestnut. 13. Some bushes seldom makesingle terminal buds. The redelder (Fig. 7) is one.

Fig. 8 shows the shoots just pushing out from the ends of suckers which sprtag from the ground. The specimen at the right shows the twin shoots, but one is stronger than the other.
