Buds Age with Parent Tree.

According TO government botanist
at Washington there is reason to be-
lieVa that buds share in the growing
old OF the parent plant. He illustrates
his meaning in this way: Suppos
the average life Of an individual plant
say tree-to be 100 years. then a
bud removed when the parent plant is
30 years old will also be virtually 80
years of age, and If transplanted by
grating will be able 70 live on the
graft only 80 years more.
