Oriental  Species  of  Magnolia 
and  Their  Hybrids 
These  varieties  retain  their  lower  branches  more 
than  American  sorts,  thus  assuming  bush-like  pro- 
portions. They  flower  earlier  and  more  profusely. 
We  recommend  Spring  planting  for  all  Magnolias, 
and  carry  our  stock  accordingly,  so  that  in  the  Fall 
our  assortment  of  varieties  and  grades  is  apt  to  be 
broken,  and  purchasers  will  do  well  to  name  a  second 
choice.
