MAGNOLIA. The lai-ge, sliiniiis leaves of I 
the Magnolias, and their great, creamy, per- 
fume-filled cups give us our most tropical 
effects. Their spring inflorescence is heau- 
titnl beyond description, while from April 
till midsummer some member of the genus 
is in bloom. AH should be transplanted in 
early spring, taking care to preserve tiieir 
fibrous roots and protect them from expo- 
sure. The following are the best and largest 
flowering varieties, are of dwarf habit, and 
suitable for any location.
