Rise and fall of Sap in Trees

Ok this subject we make the following ex.
tracts from Professor LISDLEy, University
of London:
"It is the common opinion and no less
common error, that the sap of trees, rises in
Spring from their roots, aud descends into
them again in winter. As certain as gill
cannot contain gallon, so also cannot the
roots contain all the sap of the trunk and
limbs of tree The term sap includes all
the fluids of whatever kind circulating in the
tree. The sap runs out of the trunk of a
tree in Spring when wounded in the Sum-
mer, autumn and winter it does not unless
as an exception to the general rule.
The sap is always in motion, at all sea.
sons, and uuder all circumstances, except in
the presence Of intense cold. The difference
is that there is great deal of it in Spring
and much less at other seasons. On the
approach of winter, a tree is at a state of
rest, its leaves having carried off much
larger portion of fluids than its roots have
been on able to supply, that the whole of the
interior is in state of comparative dryness !;
and a large portion of the sap w6ich was
once fluid becomes solid, in consequence of
chemical changes it has undergone. Between
evaporation on the one hand, and solldltica.
