An avenue of trees supplied by u?. No improvement on this street aids more to the attractive appearance of it than these 

 trees which have enhanced property values beyond all proportion to their cost and maintenance. Oriental Planes — Platanus 

 orientalis — see page 39 — were extensively used here as they are being used for city streets and suburban property developments 

 in many places. 



Oriental Species of Magnolia 

 and Their Hybrids 



These \^arieties retain their lower branches more 

 than American sorts, thus assuming bush-like pro- 

 portions. They flower earHer and more profusely. 

 We recommend Spring planting for all Magnolias, 

 and earn.- 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 variety "con- 

 spicua," which it closely resembles, so we are using 

 it in preference to the other, which we still have, 

 however.
