Description of plates 33-40 



Plate 33 



1. Shoot with two short lateral branches. The terminal buds are leaf buds. A 

 typical axillary bud is present. 



2. Three-year-old shoot, the axis of which has ceased to elongate owing to the de- 

 velopment of a flower bud the second year. A strong lateral shoot has grown out of 

 the "purse" and a weaker one from the three-year-old wood. The terminal buds and 

 axillary bud are leaf buds. 



3. Shoot with a terminal flower bud. 



4. Nine-year-old fruit spur bearing three-year-old branches. The scars from the 

 pedicels of the fruit may be seen upon the "purses." 



5. Four-year-old fruit spur. 



6. A fruit bud is shown upon one year's growth, the beginning of a typical fruit 

 spur. 



7. So-called axillary flower bud. In the specimen figured the flowers were few in 

 number and lacked vigor, developing late. 



8. Typical apple inflorescence.
