266 THE NURSERY LIST. 



Lime (Citrus Limetta and C. Medica, var. acris). Ru- 



tacece. 



Seeds, which usually reproduce the variety. Some va- 

 rieties are budded upon strong seedlings. 



Lime-tree. See Tilia. 

 Limnocharis. Alismacecz. 



Increased by seeds, by divisions, and by runners. 

 Linaria (Toadflax). Scrophulariacetz. 



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

 Or by divisions made in spring or autumn. The green- 

 house species are ordinarily grown from seeds, which 

 should be carefully sown in finely pulverized soil. Cut- 

 tings may also be used. 



Linden. See Tilia. 



Lindera (Spice-bush, Benzoin). Lauracece. 



Seeds, stratified. Divisions. Cuttings, as in Cornus. 

 Lindleya. Rosacece. 



Increased by ripened cuttings under glass in bottom 

 heat ; or by grafting on the hawthorn. 



Linnaea. Caprifoliacecz . 



Naturally increased by layers or runners. Seeds are 

 rarely employed 



Linum (Flax). Linacecz. 



Propagated by seeds, the hardy species sown outdoors 

 and the tender ones under glass. Cuttings may be taken 

 from firm shoots and inserted in a sandy position under 

 glass. The ordinary flax is sown directly in the field. 

 See Reinwardtia. 



Lippia. Verbenacetz. 



Seeds. Usually by cuttings of young shoots, which will 

 root freely in sandy soil in a close, warm frame. If it is 

 not possible to secure the necessary heat, cuttings of the 

 hard wood can be used in autumn, under glass. 



Liquidambar Sweet Gum). Hamamelidece. 



Seeds, which should be stratified or sown as soon as 

 ripe. Many of the seeds may lie dormant until the sec- 

 ond year. 



Liquorice. See Glycyrrhiza.
