wood cuttings which are set in sand in a frame or in the open 

 ground in spring. Rooted cuttings may also be used for stock. 



Lentil (Lens esculcnta). Leguminosoe. 



Grown from seeds, sown in early spring where the plants are to 

 stand. 



Leonotis (Lion's Ear. Lion's Tail). Labiates. 



Increased by cuttings in bottom heat in early spring and may be 

 transplanted to the open in May ; also grown from seed when 

 obtainable. 



Leontice. Berberidacece. 



Increased by seeds, and by suckers from the rhizomes. 

 Leontopodium (Edelweiss. Lion's Foot). Composites. 



Edelweiss may be raised annually from seeds, or the old plants 

 may be divided in fall and wintered in a coldframe. The seeds 

 must be kept in a dry place throughout the winter and should be 

 sown about February 1, which gives plants large enough to be 

 planted out in permanent quarters in late spring. Plants bloom 

 the following year, although a few flowers may be had the first 

 year from seed. 



Lepidium : Cress. 

 Leptospermum. Myrtacece. 



Propagated by cuttings of well-ripened wood in fall or of young 

 growth in summer or in spring under glass ; also grown from seeds 

 sown in spring. 



Leptosyne. Composite?. 



Grown readily from seeds, usually started indoors. 

 Lespedeza. Leguminosce. 



Increased by division of the clumps ; L. formosa (L. Sieboldii) by 

 greenwood cuttings under glass ; also by seeds when obtainable, 

 sown in spring. L. striata is the so-called Japan clover, an annual 

 grown in the South for hay ; 15 to 25 pounds of seed are sown to 

 the acre. 



Lettuce (Lactuca saliva). Composite?. 



Raised from seeds, which may be sown under glass or in the open. 

 The early crop is grown from seeds started indoors ; the summer 

 crop may be sown in frames or protected seed-beds ; sometimes 

 lettuce is sown in the open directly where the plants are to stand
