MAGNOLIA grandiflora (Southern Evergreen Mag¬ 
nolia). This is a purely Southern Magnolia and while 
it usually reaches a medium height it does not do well on 
limestone soil. It seems to thrive best in moist, porous 
soils, and demands an abundance of fertility. Where it does 
succeed, planters are well repaid, the white flowers being 
especially large, attractive, and very fragrant. They are 
followed by scarlet seeds. Fact. Per in
