Plate VIII. 



Blueberry Cuttings in Early Stages of Growth. 



The figure at the left shows a cutting callused at the base and the uppermost bud pushing, 

 but the green bracts and young leaves not yet expanded. In the middle and right-hand 

 figures callusing has proceeded farther at the cut surfaces, both top and bottom, and the 

 formation of new leafy twigs is well under way; but the growth of the tips has not yet 

 been terminated. As shown in the right-hand figure, twigs are often produced from two 

 of the upper buds, sometimes more. (Natural size.)
