Forests and forestry. Formation and Functions of the Buds. 03 CHAPTER VII. OF THE STRUCTUKE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE VARIOUS PARTS OF GROWING TREES. The Formation and Functions of the Buds. 232. In common deciduous trees, there begins to form, in mid- summer, in the axils of the leaves, a little cellular mass, communicating with a medullary ray, partly covered by the bark, and usually protected by imbricating scales. From these buds or germs, the leaves and blossoms of the next season are to grow. The leaf-buds are usually more sharp and slender than the flower-buds, a circumstance quite noticeable upon the elm, and upon many fruit trees. 233. The end of a twig is always terminated by a bud, which advances as the twig extends in length, by the formation of new cells within. Trees and their branches increase in length and heiglit by the formation of these new cells under the terminal bud, and elongate only during the season of active vegetation, in spring and early summer.
