magnolia soulangeana. (reduced size.) 
M. Soulangeana. Soulange’s Magnolia. Another hybrid raised from 
see<, at b romont, near Paris. In habit it closely resembles M. conspicua , shrubbv 
and branching while young, but becoming a fair-sized tree. Flowers white and purple, 
cup shaped, and 3 to o inches in diameter. Foliage large, glossy and massive. It 
forms a handsome tree worked upon the M. acuminata. One of the hardiest and 
nnest of the foreign Magnolias. Blooms later than conspicua. $1.50 to $2.00. 
M. speciosa. Showy-flowered Magnolia. Resembles the M. Soulan¬ 
geana in growth and foliage, but the flowers are a little smaller and of a lighter 
color, fully a week later, and remain in perfect condition upon the tree longer than 
those of any other. Chinese variety. These qualities combined with its hardiness, 
render it, m our estimation, one of the most valuable sorts. $1.00. See cut.
