time they will be sufficiently well rooted for cutting free 
and for removal to permanent quarters or nursery beds. 
Well-established plants develop growths 12 feet to 
18 feet long. 
LONICERA (HONEYSUCKLE).—These favourite and 
fragrant-flowered climbers are easily increased, either 
by cutting’s of firm shoots, 6 inches to g inches long, 
firmly planted in a cold frame or sheltered border in 
October, or by layers put down in late summer and 
autumn. 
Lucu.ia.—L. gratissima, the species generally grown, 
is a handsome, sweet-scented, stove flowering shrub. It 
is best raised from imported seed sown on arrival. 
Cuttings are generally very unreliable. Young shoots 
inserted in spring or early summer in sandy compost 
under a bell-glass with bottom heat sometimes succeed. 
LunariaA (Honesty).—Valued for winter decoration in 
combination with dried ornamental grasses and ever- 
lasting flowers, on account of the satiny partitions of 
the seed-vessels, it is raised from seed sown in April 
where intended to be grown. 
Lupinus.—Seeds of these handsome annual and 
perennial border flowers may be sown outdoors in April. 
The perennials may also be increased by division in 
March and April. 
Lycunis (Campion).—Propagation of these  well- 
known plants is effected by~seed sown in a sunny 
position outdoors in March and April, and by division 
of the roots in spring and autumn. 
Lycium (Box Tuorn).—Trailing plants suitable for 
training over porches and arbours. They are easily 
increased by taking off rooted suckers and by cuttings 
of partly-ripened shoots, 6 inches long, planted out of
