3d. Branch or Stem — the cane which produces fruit.

 canes and lateral canes may be called canes.

7th. Dormant Buds — those which do not gi-ow till the second year. 



In other particulars there was no essential difference between Dr. 

 Hull's and Mr. Starr's nomenclature.

 this Society is concerned.
