SAUCER MAGNOLIA 



SUCH BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS THAT 



IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS TULIP 



TREE 



One of the most beautiful spring-flowering 

 trees is the saucer magnolia. Before the leaves 

 are produced it becomes covered with large 

 gorgeous blossoms that are at llrst tulip-shaped 

 l)ut later open to give a cup and saucer effect. 

 The petals are a beautiful rose-purple color 

 with white margins making this tree a major 

 attraction in any planting. The trees are of a 

 rounded, bushy shape and grow to about 20 ft. 

 tall. The saucer magnolia is hardy in most of 

 Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, and Connecticut, 

 'iliey grow liest in moist, fertile soil and prefer 

 light shade to full sunlight. Rayner's stock of 

 saucer magnolia has strong root systems that 

 will rapidly become established and develop into 

 line specimen plants. 



12-18 inch size %\M each. 



Magnolia Ijirandiflora 



This is one of the most beautiful of all trees. It has long 

 been a favorite in the south because of its large, glossy evergreen 

 leaves and its enormous, fragrant white blooms. This magnolia 

 is not just a shrub — it grows into a large tree up to 50 feet tall. 

 It can usually be grown successfully as far north as southern 

 New York. Therefore many people who have long admired this 

 wonderful tree can now have it for their own. It is truly called 

 the most beautiful of all evergreens. You will be pleasantly sur- 

 prised at its rapid growth. See page 17 for Postal Rates.

RHODODENDROI^S 



If you have a shady spot that has 

 not been too kind to many tyi)es of 

 shrubs then you can be sure that rho- 

 dodendrons will promptly call this 

 spot •"home" and show their apprecia- 

 tion with their magniticent foliage and 

 gorgeous flowers. These hardy hybrids 

 are unusually vigorous. 



Rhododendrons prefer acid soil and 

 a good moisture supply. Soil is pre- 

 pared in same manner as for blue- 

 berries.
