of a rich, deep, even pink tint, and the 
shape is more finished ; it is equally vig- 
orous, free-blooming and fragrant ; one 
of the most important of recent acquisi-

ing, of superb form and habit ; color rich

magnolia, and is very delightfid and dis- 
tinct from that of any other variety. Beau- 
tiful glossy foliage; a vigorous grower 
and very free-flowering, blooming at every 
shoot. We consider it one of our best
