G. glabra. 
LIRIODENDRON. A variegated (DL. t. aureo- 
marginatum), a fastigiate (L. t. fastigiata, of gardens), a 
pyramidal (L. #. pyramidale), and an _ obtuse - lobed 
(L. t. obtusilobum) variety of the well-known L. tulipifera 
are now in cultivation. 
The varieties of Liriodendron may be inereased by 
layering—a rather slow process of propagation, as roots 
are thrown ont but sparingly. They may also be raised 
by grafting on stocks of the type. As the roots of 
Liriodendron are not furnished with many fibres, it is 
necessary to transplant frequently in a young state, 
unless they are planted at once in the positions they are 
to occupy permanently.
