Notice peach, apple, plum, willow, and other plants. Fig. 56. In others, all the scales grow for a time, as in the pear. Figs. 57, 58. In other plants, the in- ner bud-scales become green and almost leaf-like. See the maple and hickory. Fig. 59 shows a hickory bud. Two weeks later, the young shoot had pushed out and the enlarged scales were hanging (Fig. 60). 94. Sometimes floivers come out of the buds. Leaves may or may not accompany the flowers. We saw the embryo flowers in Fig. 52. The bud is shown again in Fig. 57. In Fig. 58 it is opening. In Fig. Gl it is more advanced, and the woolly un- formed flowers are appearing. In Fig. C2 the growth is more advanced. In Fig. 63 the flowers are full blown; and the bees have found them. 95. Buds which contain or pro- duce only leaves ai-e leaf-buds. Those which contain only flowers are flower- buds or fruit-buds. The latter occur on peach, almond, apricot, and many very early spring-flowering plants. ''^^ ^^''â ^' '" '"" ''"""i- Fig. 64.
