PURPLE MAGNOLIA; 
Lat: Magnolia Purpurea. 
Cl: POLYANDRIA. 
Old: POLY GYNIA. 
The purple Magnolia is regarded as a hardy 
Green-house plant, which came from China, 
and grows to a considerable height. 
It is propagated by seed, layers, and cut- 
tings, which should be placed under glasses in 
their infant state. 
The seed succeeds best when sown in light 
earth, and placed in a Hot-bed. 
This plant requires shelter in the Winter, and 
shade in the Summer.
