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.

Oriental Species of 

 Magnolias and Their 

 Hybrids 



These varieties retain their lower 

 branches more than American sorts, 

 thus assuming bush-like proportions. 

 They flower earlier, more profusely, 

 and begin to flower when quite 

 young. We recommend Spring plant- 

 ing for all Magnolias. 



Magnolia alba superba. (S). 

 Beautiful white flowers. This va- 

 riety is easier to raise than the white 

 floweringvariety" Conspicua, "which 

 it closely resembles.

One of the Oriental species of Magnolia which are among the earliest 

 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.
