The bulb, strictly so-calleil. is a stem like a reduced corm as to its solid part (or plate) ; while the main body consists of thickened scales, whicli are leaves or leaf bases. These are like buil scales; so that in fact a bulb is a bud with fleshy scales on an exceedingly .short stnm. Cum- pare a AVliite Lily Indb (Fig. .il) with the strong scaly buds of the Hickory (Fig. 17). and the resemblance will appear. In corms, as in tnliers and root- stocks, the store of food for future growth is deposited in tlie stem; while in tlie bulb, the greater part is deposited in the bases of tlie leaves, r-hanging them into thick scales, which closely overlap or inclose one Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Leavitt, Robert Greenleaf, 1865-1942; Gray, Asa, 1810-1888.
