A TREES GROWTH.

Process Of Development Scientifically
Analysed.
If you wish to become thoroughly &C
quainted with the trees mode Of
growth, the first thing of importance is
to keep in view the functions of the
"cambian layer"-soft, spongy sub
stance lying between the wood proper
and the bark. The pulpy, porous sub
stance is really tissue of minute cells,
visible only under the microscope and
apparently all OF the same size end shape
in any given variety of tree. The cells
lying nearest the bark contribute per-
manent accretion to the trees covering,
while those which lie nearest the wood
slowly change from 'can1bian layer" to
the real tree fiber. In this way the bark
becomes thicker each year, and at the
same time the tree itself is permanent
" enlarged.
In the spring and early summer the
bark on ell trees is TO a certain extent
loosened to permit of the cambian layer
exercising it's functions, and when this
wholly ceases the result is manifest in
the ring" of new wood and the thin
layer of rewly-formed inner bark.
The ends of each limb have also grown
perceptibly-from two inches to two
feet. according TO the species - but
