MAGNOLIA 
Soulangeana 
: Each $6.00, Three $17.00, Doz. $60.00 
Soulange’s Magnolia, sometimes called the Saucer Magnolia for no 
reason at all, is the rather rare Pink Magnolia of city gardens and 
parks. It makes a small tree with gorgeous shining foliage and in 
early spring produces its enormous, pinkish white flowers, more or less 
purplish outside and slightly fragrant. This Magnolia is the showiest of 
the family for planting in northern gardens, and when in bloom, even 
one plant will dominate the garden—yes, the neighborhood, if it is a 
sizeable specimen. A whole street in Rochester, lined with this variety, 
is a mecca for all enthusiasts every spring. We offer flowering plants 
with a lot of buds, about 3 to 5 feet tall.

PACHISTIMA 
Canbyi Each 75c, Three $1.75, Doz. $5.00, 100 $35.00, 1000 $325.00 
A most attractive and valuable low-growing evergreen shrub with min- 
iature Holly-like leaves. It is spreading in character and increases in 
dimension by underground runners until it reaches its maximum size 
of about 2 feet spread. Height is rarely over 6 inches. For ground 
covering in light shade under trees or in front of evergreens and Rhodo- 
dendrons or for delicate ground carpeting few plants equal it. A lovely 
effect is made with it at the base of pedestals or fountains in shady 
places. It is equally attractive as an informal edging to walks, beds, 
or borders. !t transplants without difficulty and is as hardy as an oak. 
Should be spaced 10 inches apart. Plant in fall or spring. 
Stellata (Star Magnolia) Each $6.00, Three $17.00, Doz. $60.00 
The rarest of the hardy Magnolias. It grows to a small spreading 
tree; however, this requires years. Early in spring the plant is 
covered with a mass of fragrant pure white starlike flowers, which are 
inches across. The numerous long waxy white petals are held to- 
gether in a lovely starlike shape. A beautiful thing for a small 
lawn or any small garden. We offer fine plants about 2% feet tall 
with flower buds ready to bloom.

The commonest plant of an inferior strain takes just as much space 
in your garden and requires just as much attention to grow, as does 
a really fine variety. Where space is limited, this fact is worth special 
consideration. 




MAHONIA 
Aquifolium Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
This is more popularly known as the Oregon Holly Grape. It has shiny, 
large, spiny, metallic looking leaves which turn a bronzy red in 
autumn. In spring the clusters of yellow flowers are very attractive. 
These flowers are followed by blue fruit in June and July. We consider 
it one of the most attractive evergreens of easy cultivation. Does 
perfectly in north exposure in plantings of evergreens. Ultimate height 
about 21% to 3 feet, depending on location where grown. 
Don’t let some ordinary plant monopolize valuable space in your 
garden merely because it increases fast and you “hate to throw it 
away.’ Present it to a beginner and put in one of the newer beauties. 
This injection of new blood will keep alive and intensify your own 
interest and pleasure as well as that of your friends.
