EXCRESCENCE. Independently of Galls, which are 

 caused by the punctures of insects, and the swellings 

 which always accompany Canker, the excrescences 

 which injure the gardener's crops are very few. That 

 which appears above the point of union between the 

 scion and stock is caused by the former being the freer 

 grower of the two, and is a warning that should be 

 remembered, for it curtails the longevity of the tree, 

 the supply of sap gradually becoming inefficient. The 

 excrescences which occur upon the branches of some 

 apples, as those of the codling and June-eating, cannot 

 be looked upon as disease, for they arise from congeries 

 of abortive buds, which readily protrude roots if buried 

 in the soil, making those among the few apples which 

 can be readily or easily propagated by cuttings. Of a 

 similar nature are the huge excrescences so prevalent on 

 aged oaks and elms. Bulbous excrescences are formed 

 upon the roots of many plants if compelled to grow 

 upon a soil drier than that which best suits them. This 

 is the case especially with two grasses, Phle'um prate'nse 

 and Alopecu'rus genicula'tus, and is evidently a wise 

 provision of a nature to secure the propagation of the 

 species, for those bulb-like thickenings will vegetate long 

 after the remainder of the plant has been destroyed by 

 the excessive dryness of the soil.
