MAGNOLIAS 
The Magnolia family consists of the Magnolia grandiflora so commonly 
known in the South. The Sweet Bay which is also known in the South, and 
the Magnolia Fuscata which foliage is similar to the Camellia Japonica and 
the flowers which are small are sweet scented of a ripe banana. Then there 
are the deciduous Magnolias, some blooming before the leaves come out in the 
Spring, while others bloom during the Summer. There are also several va¬ 
rieties of the Cucumber Magnolia which make large leaves and flowers. We 
offer several of these varieties, and especially the large leaf Southern Magnolia 
which should be planted extensively in the Southern States.
