Mag-nolia tripetela. Umbrella Tree. A hardy, medium-sized tree, with 

 immense leaves, and large white flowers, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, appearing in 

 June. $1.00. 



M. Thompsoniana. Thompson's Magnolia. A hybrid between M. glauca 

 and M. tripetela. Tree of medium size, spreading habit, with large, fine foliage. 

 The flowers, which appear in June, and continue during the summer, are large, 

 creamy-white and very fragrant. A charming species, requiring some protection in 

 this latitude in winter. $2.00. 



Chinese Species and their Hybrids. 



(^Flowering in May before the leaves appear.) 



M. conspicua. Chinese White Magnolia. Chandelier, or Yulan 

 Magnolia. A Chinese species 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. $1.50 

 to $2.00. 



M. Norbertiana. Norbert's Magnolia. A hybrid between M. conspicua 

 and M. ohacata. Tree vigorous and of regular outline ; foliage showy ; flowers reddish 

 purple. One of the best. $2.00. 



magnolia soulangeana. (reduced size.) 



M. Soulang'eana. Soulange's Magnolia. Another hybrid raised from 

 seed, at Fromont, near Paris. In habit it closely resembles M. conspicua, shrubby 

 and branching while young, but becoming a fair-sized tree. Flowers white and purple, 

 cup shaped, and 3 to 5 inches in diameter. Foliage large, glossy and massive. It 

 forms a handsome tree worked upon the M. acuminata. One of the hardiest and 

 finest of the foreign Magnolias. Blooms later than conspicuu. $1.50 to |2.00. 



M. speciosa. Showy-flowered Magnolia. Keserables 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 than 

 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. See cut.
