34 EL LW ANGER dc BARRY'S CATALOGUE. 



M. speciosa. Showy-floweked Magnolia. Resembles the M. Soulan- 

 geana in growth and foliage, but the flowers are a little smaller and of a lighter 

 color, fully a week later, and remain in perfect condition upon the tree longer tiian 

 those of any other Chinese variety. These qualities combined with its hardiness, 

 render it, in our estimation, one of the .most valuable sorts. $1.00 to $1.50. 

 See cut. 



M. superba. Origin same as that of the above varieties; differs little from 

 Soularigeana; flowers a trifle darker. $2.00.
