blooms [Tiliaeese]. Litin., i3-Polijandria

Hardy, deciduous, yellowish- green-flowered 

 trees. Seeds gathered" and preserved in moist ; 

 sand, until March or April, and then some 

 will generally vegetate that and the following 

 season ; principally, however, by layers, in ' 

 autumn, which may be removed in a twelve- 

 month. To save layering, old trees are some- 

 times cut down, shoots spring up in abundance, 

 among these six inches or a toot of fine soil ' 

 are thrown, and in two or three years nice- 

 rooted plants are obtained. Deep loamy soil > 

 suits all the varieties, as well as the species, 

 best. The white lime is propagated chiefly by 

 layers and grafting. The Americana, and its 

 many varieties, are very ornamental, but not ; 

 so hardy as the European, in our moist climate, j

Stove epiphytes. Divisions and suckers. The

 in sphagnum, turfy peat, broken pots, and char- 

 coal ; the stronger-growing ones may be potted 

 high, in turfy peat, a little turfy loam, and 

 charcoal. Winter temp., 55 to 60 ; summer, 

 60 to 80.
