where it attains the height of 100 feet. The growing of this beautiful evergreen is a 
special feature of our business. We have both field and pot-grown plants for sale. 
Pot-grown Magnolias are a specialty with us. There is absolutely no danger in plant- 
ing, as a number of my customers can testify. But on the other hand every one that 
has had any experience in planting field grown plants, knows the direful results, — you 
cannot reasonably expect more than one-half to grow. Pot-grown plants have no 
mutilated roots. The roots are all in a nice ball of earth, and are therefore protected 
during shipment. Pot-grown plants, 10 to 12 in., $1 each ; 15 to 18 in., $1.50 ; 20 to 24 
in., $2 each. Field grown, 2 to 254 ft., $1.50 each.

curiosity. Stock is very limited. 3 to 4 ft., jji each.
