SHADE TREES—Continued 
Magnolia Nigra. Growth, habit and flower similar to Soulangeana 
(see below), but flowers are a very dark purplish red. When 
planted with Soulangeana it stands out in beautiful contrast.

Magnolia Soulangeana. One of the finest and hardiest of the 
Magnolias. Its blossoms are from 3 to 5 inches across, cup- 
shaped, white and rosy violet, opening before its leaves, which 
are large and glossy. Due to the limited supply, we have been 
unable to offer this beautiful shrub for some time past. Any- 
one having seen these trees in blossom, always carries a desire 
to have one in their own yard. Our trees come with a ball 
of earth on their roots, which is the only practical way to trans' 
plant them. 3 to 4 feet, each, ^3.00.
