338 AMERICAN GARDENER. 



366. LOCUST .Well known, and suffici- 

 ently noticed in Paragraph 329. It rnay be rais- 

 ed from suckers ; but best from seed, which al- 

 ways makes the straightest trunk. 



367. LUPIN. A species of fie a or tare , and 

 frequently cultivated in the fields, and eaten in 

 soup and otherwise, by the Italians, and in the 

 South of France. It grows, however, upon a 

 siff stem, stands upright, and branches out, like 

 a tree in miniature. There is a great variety of 

 sorts, as to colour of flower as well as to size of 

 plant. The Yellow dwarf is the best, and it 

 smells very sweet. This plant, is, of course, an 

 annual. 



368. M AGNOLI A. One of the finest of the 

 laurel tribe. It can be raised from seed, or from 

 layers. A very fine shrub indeed. There are 

 several varieties of it. 



369. MIGNONETTE. An annual that 

 bears abundance of seed. The plant and the 

 flower do not surpass those of the most contemp- 

 tible weed ; but the flower has a very sweet 

 smell. It may, it you have a green house, be 

 had at any time of the year. The plants may 

 stand at four or five inches asunder; but, if they 

 stand thicker, the bloom is inferior, and does 

 not last so long. 



370. MORNING STAR. This fine shrub 

 has been sufficiently described in Paragraph 329. 

 It can be raised from seed, or from layers. 



371. MYRTLE. The Myrtle is a native of 

 climates where it is never cold. It will not en- 

 dure even November all out, in Long Island. 

 To have it, therefore, it must be housed in win- 

 ter. It may be raised from seed, cuttings, slips.
