In this diagram the dotted highway is the water conducting; area, and the black hig-hway is the area for conduction of the food made in the leaf. The arrows indicate the direction of flow in these highways. From Steven's "Introduction to Botany," copyright, 1902, by D. C. Heath & Company. Used by permission. 317.
