. Principles of plant culture : an elementary treatise designed as a text-book for beginners in agriculture and horticulture. Horticulture; Botany. l82 Princi-ples of Plant Culture. B. Propagation by Detached Parts. This comprises two quite different modes of propagation, viz., by specialized buds, and by sections of the plant. a — Propagation by Specialized Buds. 351. This includes propagation by bulbs, bulblets, corms and tvhers. It is in a sense intermediate between propa- gation by parts intact (346), and by cuttings (358). The bud that is to form the future plant, though not having roots of its own, has been specially prepared by the parent, through an abundant food supply and a partially dormant condition of the protoplasm, to maintain a separate exist- ence, even under adverse conditions, and in due time, to develop into a plant. In these respects it resembles the seed, from which it differs, however, in the less dormant condition of its pro- toplasm, and in not being the product of sexual fecundation (341)..
