The Fruit Spur.
The fruit buds of the apple tree are
borne mostly at the tips of short
branches called fruit spurs. Occasion
ally, however, a fruit bud is borne at
the top of the main branch. The fruit
or flower bud Is larger than the leaf
bud; it seems to form wherever the
growth of the stem which il terminates
is checked, but if the stem is still fur

will be produced. Wherever the bud
appears, it stops the growth of the
steam, and there arises from beneath
OF almost beside it lateral bud, which
will continue the growth of the spur
next year. Yet, since the apple just
above it will require much food. it will
fail to get enough nourishment to grow
into a flower bud, and will become d

in the plum the buds arc alternate,

and we pass twice around the stem from

the angular distance between the buds

the spur of the apple tree is the usual
occurrence.
In the plum tree most of the buds
and side spurs are at the ends of the
gTowths, and the buds are in twos or
threes rather than single. The plum
spur is straight, because the terminal
buds are leaf buds, and so the growth
is not stopped by a terminal fruit as in
the apple. Some of the side buds here
are fruit buds, but it is difficult to dis
tinguish them.
The Fruit Scar.
The scars left by fruits that fully de-
veloped during the previous season are
large and round, and are often projected
on short arms as in the peach tree. The
fruit scar is not usually below but
above the new bud that is to form an
other branch. 1t is nearly always at
the end of q short, stubby spur.
Notice an apple tree. Below the fruit
scar is a ring showing where the bud
scales of last season dropped off. and

that show where flowers dropped off

THE STORIES TOLD BY THE WINTER BUDS
BY J. II. PAUL.

While the earth is still snoW-coveTed
or just before the swelling of the buds
in spring, it is a pleasant exercise to
make an examination of the bare
branches of the trees. The twigs of the
common trees such as those of the apple,
pear, peach, cGtalpa, poplar. cotton
wood, maple, elm, willow, box-elder,
and especially the wild Oak-brush,
squawberry and birch, are well adapted
to winter study. Winter buds have an
interesting story to tell. Cut one open,
or watch its expansion in the spring,
rs ii bursts into leaf or flower, and 1t
will be seen that buds are dormant
growing joints made ready last summer
for the activity of spring. Buds are
found on ali the woody stems of trees
in temperate ATTITUDES. but those of the
tropics are said to lack true buds. since
the trees there never stop growing On
the ends of the growing shoots OF trop-
icaI trees. however, a formation re-
sembling a bud, but consisting of only
a rolled or folded leaf. may be found
The buds of our winter twigs are al
ways enclosed. for the sake of protec-
ton, in definite membrane.
Trees In Winter.
With practice we can distinguish the
various species of plants as well in their
winter baroness as in their summer
Each tree looks different from all
other kinds as to color and texture of
bark mode of branching, stem scars
left by previous leaves and fruit, size,
shape and arrangement of buds, and in
other points plainly visible.
If the observer will go out among his
fruit and shade trees just now, he will
be able to read from their marks, their
forms and their preparations for this
In rec
a rather fascinating and marvellous bit
of history. He can soon learn TO read
the tree itself.
But he needs a guide We learn from
each other All eyes do nor see the
same things. nor do all minds discover
the same truths. If, therefore, teachers,
using these hints as suggestions, viii
show to their students the winter twfgs
and tell them what to look for, the
sharp eyes and keen senses of youth
will quickly discover all that the teacher
directs them to see.
Observation Of Buds.
In the hardwood plants of our tenn
perate zone, the buds in winter are al
ways more or less inclosed in a scaly
covering This winter oveTcoat Is for
the protection Of the bud from the rain
and snow, and from the ice which would
destroy them if the moisture should sue
coed in getting within these scales.
Though all of our buds have this form
Of covering, no two kinds are alike.
The individuality of the tree menifests
itself with peculiar emphasis in the
buds Each species has buds different
from those of every other, and the var
ious shapes, sizes, colors, coverings and
arrangement on the stems offer many
contrasts.
Leaf buds are always placed imme-
diately above little rough or bare spot
called a leaf-scar. Not every individual
bud has its leaf scar, for in some cases
several buds are superposed above one
another, and here one leaf scar subtends
the whole group. Thus every leaf
scar has its bud. but not every bud its
leaf-scar. Very small spots called dor
mant buds may be seen occupying the

apple fruit branch only six inches long
may be six years old. But on the ieafy
branches q years growth is usually
much greater. The short twigs occur
along the sides of the smaller and low

usually the frUiting branches, or fruit
