But while this is true to a cer-tain extent, it should also be remembered that no cion can use any more plant-foodthan can be assimilated by its leaves; con-sequently, if the roots of the stock uponwhich it set gather more materials thancan be used, there will be stagnation or en-tire inaction in some portion of the a large plant is severely cut backfor grafting or other purposes, and thus.
