The  Magnolias 
Their  lavish  profusion  of  large  and  beautiful  flowers,  their  fragrant,  richness  of  foliage  and  stately, 
tropical  aspect  place  the  Magnolias  easily  first  among  flowering  trees.  Planted  in  groups,  their  spring 
inflorescence  is  grand  beyond  description  ;  as  lawn  specimens  or  against  an  evergreen  foil,  their  large, 
jrlossy  foliage  and  shapely  outline  make  them  beautiful  anywhere.  They  thrive  in  any  good  soil,  but  like 
best  one  that  is  warm,  rich  and  moderately  moist.  Plant  in  spring  to  insure  best  results.
