MAGNOLIA 



Their superior stateliness of form and splendor of growth, the size and richness of their foliage and lavish yield of fra- 

 grant flowers, all tend to place them in the foremost rank among hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Their proper place 

 is on the lawn, where they show to fine advantage in contrast to the green ; or they may be planted effectively on the bor- 

 ders of lawns, with an evergreen in the background to heighten the contrast. Planted in groups they yield to no rival, and 

 their effect in the early spring is grand beyond description, illuminating the whole landscape and filling the atmosphere 

 with their rich perfume. 



To insure success in their transplanting, they should be moved in the spring, never in the fall. Great care should be 

 exercised in their removal, the fibrous roots being preserved as nearly as possible, and carefully guarded from any exposure 

 to wind or sun. While almost any good soil is sufficient to insure their growth, they succeed best in a soil which is warm, 

 rich and dry. 



AMERICAN SPECIES

 90 feet in height. Leaves 6 to 9 inches long, and bluish green; flowers yellow, tinted with

Flowering in May before the leaves appear.

 of great beauty. The tree is of medium size, shrub-like in growth while young, but attains the size 

 of a tree in time. The flowers are large, pure white, very numerous, and appear before the 

 leaves. $3.00.
