TREE AND SHRUB LIST 



201 



LIGUSTRUM. Privet. 



SEEDS. Some may be raised from seed but Regel's Privet being a 



variety of L. Ibota does not come true.

 The prunings from the hedge cut into foot lengths root easily in 

 the Spring. 



LINDERA. (See Benzoin.) 

 LIQUIDAMBAR. Sweet Gum. (See fig. 99.) 



*SEEDS. Stratify as soon as ripe. May not grow until second year. 

 Require moist seed bed, therefore, water in the dry Summer. 



The seed ball of the Sweet Gum. 



LIRIODENDRON. Tulip Tree. White Wood. 



*SEEDS. Sow as soon as ripe in Autumn in a light soil with some 



leafmold in it. Young plants make many long succulent roots, 



so they should be transplanted for several succeeding Springs. 



Usually less than half of the seeds grow. 

 GRAFTING. Sometimes grafted or budded on seedlings. 

 LONICERA. Honeysuckle. 



SEEDS. Sow in Autumn or stratify. 



CUTTINGS. Either hard or soft wood. Soft wood rooted under glass. 



especially L. Alberti and L. hispida.
