MAGNOLIAS 
In early Spring, just when Nature really awakens, we rely on the 
Magnolias to start a fascinating display of colorful bloom. Magnolia 
Stellata, (pictured on Page 24) the first of the Magnolias to bloom, 
unfolds its silvery, star-shaped blossoms before the foliage appears. 
The large-flowering Chinese varieties follow with blooms varied in 
color, shape—and in fragrance. Some varieties flower in June. 
M. ACUMINATA. (70 to 80 ft.) 
Cucumber Tree 
A fast growing, broad, pyramidal 
specimen tree with wide oval foli¬ 
age pointed at the tip. The flow¬ 
ers are yellow green appearing 
the end of May or early June. 
Really beautiful in Autumn when 
the cucumber-like seed pods burst 
open revealing brilliant pink and 
scarlet seeds. Each Ten

a moist location. For that low 
spot in your garden.
