Magnolias 
A lawn is not complete without Magnolias 
Nothing is more fascinating than a Magnolia in full bloom, 
before the rest of the landscape really awakens. Stellata, the 
earliest to bloom, unfolds its silvery, star-shaped blossoms in 
late March, some time before the foliage appears. 
The large-flowering Chinese varieties follow Stellata. Of 
these, Conspicua, Soulangeana, and its varieties Alba superba 
and Alexandrina begin to bloom when Stellata is passing. By 
the time this last group has spent its beauty, Soulangeana 
Lennei and Liliflora nigra take up the task of prolonging the 
display. 
Some native Magnolias, such as Acuminata cordata and 
Glauca, begin to bloom in June and finish in July. 
By careful selection. Magnolias can be had in flower from 
the end of March to July. 
Magnolias are best planted in the open lawn. They thrive 
best in somewhat rich, moderately moist, but porous soil. 
Glauca will do best in low or swampy places. 
Magnolia stellata

Magnolia conspicua. Yulan Magnolia. A large tree from
