Lint and Tow are the fibres of Llnum tisitatls- 

 simum separated by dressing from the woody 

 matter of the plant. 

 LInum, Linn. From the Celtic word llin, a 

 thread ; whence the Greek, linon, and the 

 Latin, linum. Linn. 5, Or. 5, Nat. Or. Li- 

 nacece. These plants are mostly ornamental, 

 and well worth cultivating in every collection. 

 The greenhouse and frame kinds grow best in 

 a mixture of loam and peat, and cuttings root 

 freely under a. glass. The hardy shrubby 

 kinds do well in any light soil, and are in- 

 creased by cuttings under a glass. The hardy 

 herbaceous species are well suited for orna- 

 menting flower-borders ; but the dwarf .kinds 

 do best on rock-work, or even grown in pots, 

 that they may be protected by a frame in 

 frosty or very wet weather ; they may be 

 increased by divisions of the roots, by cuttings, 

 or by seeds. The annual and biennial species 

 should be sown in the open ground in April." 

 The fibres of L. usitatissimum is the flax of 

 commerce, from which linen cloth is made.
