Fic. 2.—TUBERED BLUEBERRY CUTTING WITH SPROUTS ROOTING AT THE BASE. 
The sprout at the left in figure 1 had emerged from the sand and begun to develop green 
leaves above the surface. The sprout near the center of figure 1 is younger, the whole of 
it still in the rootstock stage. The two sprouts in figure 2 are developing roots on their 
| lower parts, above the dying wood of the old cutting and beneath the surface of the 
cutting bed. (Both natural size.)
