Bul. 974, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. : PLATE III. 
BLUEBERRY PLANT FRESHLY BUDDED IN THE FIELD. 
This plant, cut to the ground in early spring, sent up several strong, vigorous shoots. 
Photographed on July 18 after the insertion, on each shoot, ofa bud frem a choice variety. 
The bud wrappings are protected from the rain by a cone of waxed paper tied about the 
stem. The inserted bud becomes united with the stem in a few weeks and then lies 
dormant until the following spring.
