THE  MAGNOLIAS 
THEIR  lavish  profusion  of  large  and  beautiful  flowers,  their  fragrance,  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,  glossy  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.

Oriental    Species  of 
Magnolia  and  Their 
Hybrids 
These  varieties  retain  their  lower 
branches  more  than  American  sorts, 
thus  assuming  bush-like  propor- 
tions. 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. 
Magnolia  alba  superba.  (S) 
Beautiful  white  flowers.  This 
variety  is  easier  to  raise  than  the 
more    expensive    white  -  flowering 
One  of  the  Chinese  Magnolias.    They  flower  in  earliest  Spring  and  are  then  one  of 
the  most  beautifully  conspicuous  objects  in  the  landscape.
