New Growth from an Inserted Blueberry Bud. 



Photographed in the greenhouse on March 25. The plant had been budded in the preced- 

 ing summer. Its top was cut off above the bud when the plant was brought into the 

 greenhouse, late in February. Only the inserted bud is allowed to grow, all others being 

 removed as soon as they begin to swell. The vigor of the whole plant is forced into the 

 growth of the one shoot. (Natural size.)
