Micnelia 
Michel la fuscata. (Magnolia fuscata). (Banana Shrub) 
In the South one of our most popular and desirable 
evergreen shrubs. From early April until June the 
plant produces a quantity of yellowish-white folw- 
ers edged with maroon. The Banana-like fragrance 
is so pronounced that it is recognized several yards 
from the plant. In tlm North this is a very desir¬ 
able conservatory shrub. 
In the spring and fall the plant is covered with 
deliciously fragrant white flowers. Without doubt 
this is one of the most desirable broad-leaved ever¬ 
greens. Does well in most any situation, but will 
give the best results when planted in rich soil and 
in partial shade. The tree attains a height from 
25 to 30 feet. Hardy at New York.
