MAGNOLIAS 
By the first days of spring Magnolias burst into 
bloom to cheer us after the dark and dreary days of 
winter are over. No lawn should be without several 
specimens of this magnificent-looking tree. There are 
two classes of deciduous Magnolias, those bearing their 
flowers before the foliage appears, and those that bloom 
afterward. By a selection of varieties, Magnolias may 
be had in bloom from March to July. Most of the 
varieties will adapt themselves to city conditions.
