 rluit if there h any obliqueness in the parents, it conies out strongly in tlw 

 seedlings and more so still when the latter are reproduced from cuttings. 



The thirtv-eight 1911-13 seedlings have now been grown for several years 

 successively from cutting*,, and iiotes and photographs have been taken at 

 various stages in their grovvtlv. Ckeni is marked by considerable obliqueness 

 in its youjig shoots, and this has come out in the seedlings, all of \\hich show 

 this character in vary4ng degree. By comparing the photographs taken it
