MAGNOLIAS 
As we said last year we intend to assemble at San Jose a complete collection of all 
meritorious horticultural species and varieties of this beautiful genus. We are making 
steady progress by importation and will offer the very rare ones as rapidly as we can 
work up enough stock. Prices are for grafted plants (not “layers’) with enough flower 
buds to make a fair showing this spring. Plants without buds which should bloom freely 
a year from now are 20% less. 
MAGNOLIA campbelli. H3-4. Considered the world’s most beautiful Magnolia. Bears 
enormous pink flowers upto ten inches across. No flowering tree known in U. S. A. Our 
limited production is always sold a year in advance so none available at present but 
orders can be booked now for season 1940-41 at $5.00 each for one year plants. Colored 
plate mailed on request.

*M. liliflora gracilis. DEF. A very rare and striking variety. Buds are pansy black. Open 
flowers almost as dark outside and even deep velvety purple on the inside, a character 
not shared by any other Magnolia we have ever seen. Grows rather slowly and is a 
very free bloomer. Will grow in full sun but in bright climates partial shade is desirable 
to prevent any fading of the remarkable coloring. We have tested this thoroughly but 
stock has been too scarce to offer before. 
**M. soulangeana San Jose. BCDEF. For several years we have observed here in town 
a beautiful specimen which did not conform to any other variety we have ever seen 
so there is nothing to do except to name it. Although we rank it as a soulangeana vari¬ 
ety it is fragrant so might belong to M. conspicua (M. denudata). Anyway it is by far 
the earliest Magnolia we know of, commencing to bloom here in early January, a month 
ahead of any others. In spite of this it has a long blooming season. Flowers very large, 
colored rosy purple but lighter at tips.
