Evergreen Magnolia 
Magnolia grandiflora 
Those who have not seen this beau¬ 
tiful tree growing in the South or on 
the Pacific Coast can have only a 
slight appreciation of its charm through 
any worded description. It represents 
the epitome of richness in Evergreens, 
with its large, shining, dark green foli¬ 
age, bronzed beneath, and great, beau¬ 
tiful, waxy white, fragrant flowers; 
and the later opening of the seed-cone 
showing the crimson seed is most at¬ 
tractive. Forms a tall, stately tree and 
is hardy as far north as Long Island, 
although it may require winter protec¬ 
tion for a few years until the young 
trees are thoroughly established.

Evergreens m Woods Planting 
The woodland walk and the borders of a wood 
where the deep shadows lie are susceptible of 
the most attractive colonization of Evergreens, as 
Mahonia, Mountain Laurel, Rhododendrons, and 
Azaleas, with here and there a clump of Garland 
Flower and a carpet of Periwinkle or Japanese 
Spurge under a spreading tree, through which may 
nod in early spring the gay Daffodil or prim Poet’s 
Narcissus. 
These, together with the many shade-loving 
shrubs and perennials, will make many a woodland 
corner a joy at all seasons, from the first warm 
days of spring which open up the Trilliums until 
the mid-winter months when the Holly berries 
show scarlet against the foliage of the surrounding 
Evergreens.
