5hould be planted a few inches apart in prepared beds. 

 Sometimes small bulblets form in the axils of the leaves, and 

 these are used in the same manner as bulbels. Bulb-scales 

 are often employed for the multiplication of scarce kinds. 

 Those which produce large and loose bulbs, as L. candidum, 

 may be increased by simple division. These operations are 

 described on pp. 25 to 29. 



Lily of the Valley. See Convallaria. 

 Lime (Citrus Lirnettd). Riitacece. 



Seeds, which usually reproduce the variety. Some varie-

Increased by seeds, by divisions, and by runners. 

 Linaria (Toadflax). Scrophularinece. 



Increased by seeds sown in light soil, in early spring. Or
