might be tried too; its white flowers are deliciously sweet, and Grouping 
are more abundant if its straggling shoots are pegged down with M. Stellata 
stones. with other 
Near the Magnolias might be grouped the soft purplish Shrubs 
pink bushes of Daphne Mezereum, which, though they open in 
March, last as a rule into April, and need white to throw up 
their rather peculiar colour. 
At Kew the white Magnolia blossoms may also be seen with 
Erica carnea below, and the bright pink of double Peach above 
them, or a wholly white group might be planned, contrasting 
the larger flowers of the Magnolia with the light blossoms of 
Prunus Chamacerasus (the Siberian Cherry) or Amelanchier 
canadensis, the early Spireas, or Exochorda grandiflora, which 
would supply green to the group, as well as its delicate white 
sprays.
