Everyone has noticed how, when a
large branch of a tree is cut off, small
branches will shoot out around the
stump. These branches are from the
reserve buds, OF which ali trees have
a great number at every portion of their

these never come to maturity, but, When
the tree is wounded, or cut off, or loses
some of its branches, the reserve buds
at once come into play and renew the
foliage.
