Seite 132 - ... of the shoot from the Stem is not effected in the same manner as that of the root, by additions to the extremity only, but by the introsusception of additional particles, throughout its whole extent, at least, in its soft and succulent state. The extension of the shoot, as Du Hamel justly remarks, is inversely as its induration, rapid while it remains herbaceous, but slow as it is converted into wood. Hence moisture and shade are the circumstances of all others the most favourable to elongation,...
