branching while young, but becoming a fair sized tree. Flowers white and purple, cup-shaped, 3 to 



5 inches in diameter. Foliage large, glossy, and massive. One of the hardiest and finest of the 



foreign Magnolias. Blooms later than conspicua. $1.50. 

 M. speciosa. Showy-flowered Magnolia. C. Resembles the M. Soulangeana in growth and foliage, 



but the flowers are a little smaller and of a lighter color, fully a week later, and remain in perfect

with its hardiness, render it in our estimation one of the most valuable sorts. 1 1.50.
