The Magnolias blooming with the earliest spring bulbs in the rock-garden 
Magnolias Magnolia 
The splendor and magnificence of the blossoms of the stately Magnolias are 
not rivaled by any other flower. Almost over night, after a few warm days in 
early spring, the plants appear suddenly some morning absolutely covered, as if 
by enchantment, with great gorgeous flowers. They seem to typify, wherever they 
may be, in the border or overhanging the garden, the luxury of spring and approach¬ 
ing summer.
