Having yielded to cross-breeding, this genus may be 

 expected to run into varieties of very gay colours. Hardy- 

 bulbs. Seeds in a slight hotbed, in spring ; also by 

 offsets ; sandy loam and leaf-mould ; protected in the 

 ground from frost and wet, or taken up at the end of 

 autumn, and kept in a dry, cool place, the roots being 

 covered with earth until planting-out time in the middle 

 of April.

TILIA. Lime or Linden-tree. (Derivation unknown. 

 Nat. ord. Lindenblooms [Tiliaceae]. Linn. i^-Polyandria, 

 i-Monogynia.) 



Hardy, deciduous, yellowish-green-flowered trees. 

 Seeds, gathered and preserved in moist sand until March 

 or April, and then some will generally vegetate that and 

 the following season ; principally, however, by layers in 

 autumn, which may be removed in a twelvemonth. To 

 save layering, old trees are sometimes cut down ; shoots 

 spring up in abundance ; among these six inches or a 

 foot of fine soil is thrown, and in two or three years nice- 

 rooted plants are obtained. Deep, loamy soil suits all 

 the varieties, as well as the species, best. 'The white lime 

 is propagated chiefly by layers and grafting. T. ameri- 

 ca'na and its many varieties are very ornamental, but 

 not so hardy as the European in our moist climate.
