See Fig. XV, page 123, and under // nidozo Gardening in Chapter XL Under some circumstances, in the case of a well-established plant, a rhizome will produce a flower-stem from its apex the next season following its produc- tion of a cluster of leaves. Aluch, hoAvever, depends upon the ma- turity and vigor of the rhizome. Usualh' Avhen a rhizome is suf- ficienth' mature to produce a l:>loom-bud, branch-buds also start and the}' attain considerable size b}- the time the stalk flowers. (Fig. X, page 116.) A Avide thick rhizome is more likely to bloom than a narrow thin one of the same variety. There is also a considerable difl'erence in varieties, both as to the length of time recpiired to produce a blooming rhizome and as to the nunflTer of blooming branches it will produce.
