Small Chinese Magnolia 
In Bloom Before the Leaves Appear. 
gbinese 
O more highly ornamental class of 
trees and shrubs exist than is 
included in the Magnolia family. 
This is especially true of those known as 
the Asiatic species, which bloom before 
the leaves appear in the spring. Everyone 
is familiar with the large cup-shaped pink 
and white fragrant blooms which suddenly 
envelop the plant and fill the air with a 
delicate fragrance before we are hardly 
aware that spring has really arrived. 
There are a number of species and varie- 
ties varying in color, form, and time of 
blooming, from the bush-like Stellata with 
its very white and many-petaled bloom, 
to the more sedate and stately Lennei, 
blooming a month later, producing great 
cup-shaped, deep rosy red flowers. Our stock of the following kinds is very fin e 
and most of them will take up and transplant with large balls of earth. When 
handled in this way we believe practically no loss should result. 
STELLATA or HALLEANA, sometimes known as the Star-Magnolia. It 
is a shrub seldom reaching a height of fifteen feet. Plants but a foot high will 
often bloom profusely. It is the first strictly hardy magnolia to bloom in the 
spring and its dainty but showy pure white flowers of delicate fragrance are always 
welcome.

YULAN OR CONSPICUA. Of a slow growth but eventually forms a tree. 
The flowers are of a creamy white, very large and fragrant. This beautiful mag- 
nolia is difficult to procure, in fact the only way we have been able to procure it 
has been to import direct from Japan its native home as all we have received from 
European sources have proved to be other sorts.

SOUL ANGE ANA. This is the very well known and more common pink 
magnolia. It is a hybrid garden variety and very desirable. The pink cup-shaped 
flowers are very fragrant. 
ALEXANDRINA. Similar to preceding but blooms earlier, just after Yulan. 
SPECIOSA. Much lighter in color and some larger than Soulangeana, blooms 
at about the same time. 
NORBERTIANA. Similar to Soulangeana, but blooms later. 
LENNEI. The latest of the class to bloom and the flowers are the largest 
and of a deep rose red on the outside of the petal, inside a rosy white. This is 
one of the most effective of the magnolias and has the additional value of blooming 
at intervals throughout the summer.
