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. 
Large-flowering Chinese Magnolias 
Magnolia conspicua. Yulan Magnolia. A large tree 
from central China with spreading branches. The 
very large, creamy white, sweet-scented flowers, 
6 inches across, appear in April. This is, no doubt, 
one of the most showy species.
