sub-axillary.  In this case this bud grew more than an inch, but although
it must have had quite the start of any other bud that could be formed

case I had simply removed the terminal buds and replaced in the ground.
The sub-axillary bud in this case had hardly grown at all, but one of the
hidden lateral buds had and had produced the shoot.  The next plant had
sent up a sterile shoot.  When I removed it, one of the sticks I had

of stem and the terminal buds had been removed.  The sub-axillary had grown
only a trifle, and it was a hidden lateral bud that had produced the
shoot.  One other plant was dug up with a sterile shoot.  It was
a mass of short underground shoots and thickened roots, one of the shoots was
about three times the length of any of the others & had produced the
above ground stem.  Found to-day Oxalis violacea.  Returned home
about 2 P.M.
