Prof. E. S. Con. In the first place
we have the root system which absorbs
water from the ground and brings
this water together at the base Of the
trunk and transmits 1t to the trunk
The roots have an absorptive system
Of their own and their nature Is to
draw In water with more or less Wig
or. Then when the water is taken
to the trunk, the 6bers OF the trunk
tend to lift the water by capillarity,
and the buds above are not only ex.
pending the water above, but they are
filled with protoplasm which has an
affinity for water, and so we have q
force that draws the water from the
roots into the top. II is q principle
we'll known in physics that when
water passes through a tube it viii
pass with more force through q
straight tube than it will through q
crooked tube, and that every bend We
make in the tube would reduce the
force to that extent It follows that
the buds OF an apple tree, or any
other tree. that are in the most direct
communication with the axis Of
growth. with the trunk, are the ones
that will receive the most water.
Every time the branch grows, that
branch does not receive quite as much
water as the branch before it turns.
and II that branch subdivides, the sec.
ondary branch receives less than the
primary branch, and so on, the more it
branches the less water it receives,
and the less vigor it has and the less
It grows; it is this principle that de
termines the form Of the tree. You
know, as the tree tends to grow up.
right. the terminal buds receive more
water than any other buds, because
they are in the most direct line with
the source Of water; every branch that
grows loses somewhat in vigor. By
and by, when the tree attains q height
so great that the distance from the
roots is so great that it over balances
the fact that the terminal buds ars
in direct Communication with the axis
Of the vigor, the uppermost branches
will dominate, and after a time the
tree win come to an equilibrium. the
branches viii grow just as much as
the terminal shoots, and we will have
a full grown. developed tree.
