MOON'S TREES 



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 pro- 

 portions. They flower earlier, more profusely, and 

 begin to flower when quite young. We recommend 

 Spring planting for all Magnolias. 



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.

 surface. Cup-shaped, fragrant flowers in May and 

 June that are 6 to 7 inches across. Partially hardy 

 in New England. Splendid for warmer localities.

 tive all the season. In May fragrant white flowers 

 appear and last longer than those of most kinds.
