TfLiA, Linn. The etymology of this word is 

 entirely unknown ; in Dutch it is called JAn- 

 den, in Anglo-Saxon Lind, and in English 

 Lime-tree. Limn. 13, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Tiliacece. 

 Ornamental, lofty-growing trees, well suited 

 for avenues and parks. They thrive well in 

 any soil, and are increased by layers or seeds ; 

 if by layers, the tree must be cut down close 

 to the ground, and from its roots a great num- 

 ber of shoots are produced, in the following 

 year ; these will be strong enough to lay down 

 the following autumn. Trees raised from seed 

 are far preferable to those raised from layers. 

 The Russian bass-mats are made from the 

 inner bark of the lime-tree ; while the wood, 

 from its being light and white, is much used 

 by the carver, and musical instrument-maker.
