Buds are Axillary and Terminal (Fig. 107), as we know; they are Accessory when two or more are near the axillary bud; Adventitious when they appear at random on the stem; Latent when they lie dormant, awaiting an opportunity to put forth. 176. Gems are solid fleshy buds, which appear in the leaf-axils (Lily) or in the flower itself (Onion). They never grow into branches ; they ripen and fall, imitating seeds; then take root and form new plants. 177. Grafting.—Each leaf-bud is the germ of a perfect plant. Gar- deners take a hud from one plant (Pig. 108) and insert it in the stem of another of the same genus. Scions, or cuttings, are treated in the same way.
