TÍLIA, Linn. The etymology of this word is
entirely unknown ; in Dutch it is called Zmden,
ill Anglo-Saxon Lind, and in English
Lime-tree. Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat . Or. Tiliaeece.
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 number
of shoots are produced, in the following
year ; tliese will be strong enough to lay down
the following autumn. Trees raised from seed
are far preferable to those raised from layers.
The Eussian 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.
