many.

improvement.

M. Lennei. The largest flowering of the Chinese Magnolias; large flowers of 
magnolia red, freely produced; large foliage. The habit of growth of this variety 
is spreading; the lower branches show a distinct tendency to trail on the 
ground. Under good conditions in fertile soil with abundant rain'all this sort 
will continue to bloom throughout the entire season. To a limited degree 
this can also be said of all the rest of the varieties. If a liberal amount of 
moisture and fertility is supplied to Magnolias, one can force them into bloom 
throughout the summer with no detriment at all to next spring's crop of flowers. 
Specimens from 8 to 14 feet, prices on application. 
M. Nigra (Purpurea). Dark purple, the color now popular. One of the finest Mag¬ 
nolias in cultivation; moderate growth takes up less space than most varieties 
and is one of the best sorts; exceedingly prolific. The color of the flower is 
deeper and richer than all the rest. Our nurseries is probably the only place 
where this variety can be bought. It is destined to be the most popular of all 
the Magnolias and is particularly adapted to small gardens.
