MAGNOLIER, /*%. 
Their superior stateliness of 
form and splendor of growth, the 
size and richness of their foliage 
and lavish yield of fragrant flowers, 
all tend to place them in the fore- 
most 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 borders 
of lawns, with an evergreen in the 
background to heighten the con- 
trast. Plantedin groups they yield 
to no rival, and their effect in the 
early spring is grand beyond de- 
scription, illuminating the whole 
landscape and filling the atmos- 
phere with their rich perfume. 
To insure-~ success “in them 
transplanting, they should be 
moved in the spring, never in the 
fall. Great care should be exer- 
cised 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.
