THE NURSERY LIST. ~?J, 



Magnolia. Magnoliacece. 



Seeds are commonly used. The coverings should be 

 macerated from the very pulpy species. The cucumber- 

 .rees and some others are sown directly in autumn. The 

 seeds of any species should not be allowed to become thor- 

 oughly dry. Magnolias strike well from green cuttings, cut 

 to a heel and handled under glass. Layers are often used. 

 Named varieties are veneer- or side-grafted upon strong 

 stocks. The cucumber tree (M. acuminatd] is used as a 

 stock for all species. The umbrella tree (M. iinibrella) is 

 also a good stock.
