THE APPLE TREE. 



22- 



On the shoots which are normally developed the leaves grow 

 singly, and are arranged symmetrically in sequences of five, so that the 

 first leaves ot every sequence are to be found in the same position 

 on the twig, one below the other. But many of the twigs are 

 much stunted in growth, so that the leaves they bear appear like a 

 rosette, because the spaces between the insertions of the leaf-stalks are 

 indistinguishable.
