MAGNOLIAS 
“The Bluebird Plant of Spring” 
The crisp-petaled beauty of many blooms bursting forth upon an 
otherwise dreary in-between season exemplifies the lavishness of nature— 
almost as if nature has splurged its utmost in one bold stroke. The clean 
gray character—full form of tree, limb and twig—the interesting varying 
textures of the leaves—the colorful and unusual fall fruit—all these com- 
bined make the Magnolia well qualified to lead nature’s procession and a 
decided garden investment. 
_ The purchase of these pot-grown Magnolias as a growing investment 
will astonish you with their satisfaction, The uninterrupted growth 
insured by these inclosed, complete root systems permits first-year blooms 
that may be safely enjoyed. There is no transplanting shock to these 
excellently formed plants, rather, a release to the quicker attainment of 
the fascinating mature plant. It has taken us years to develop successful 
propagating methods to produce these perfect “fool-proof” Magnolias 
now well established and growing in pots. They are now four-year bloom- 
ing-size plants.
