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. All varieties develop into beautiful specimens 

 that look well when planted either in groups or as specimen trees. They thrive in any good soil, but like 

 best one that is warm, rich and moderately moist. Plant in Spring to insure best results.

One of the Oriental species of Magnoha which are among the earhest and 

 most conspicuous of the Spring flowering trees. The variety Kobus, offered 

 below, is one of the best and, as it flowers a little later than the others, is less 

 apt to be damaged by Spring frosts. 



Oriental Species of Magnolias 

 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.

Chinese White Magnolia. Magnolia Con- 

 spicua; syn. Yulan. (S). Very attractive, fra- 

 grant flowers which are large and pure white.

Magnolia Kobus. Thurber's Magnolia. (S). 

 One of the hardiest kinds. It has an even, sym- 

 metrical development, branching from the ground, 

 and splendid, shining green leaves that are attrac- 

 tive all the season. In May fragrant white flowers 

 appear and last longer than those of most kinds. 

 When an individual flowering tree is wanted this 

 is a good choice.
