Liees President Lincoln 
Magnolia 
No. 340. SCARLET MAGNOLIA (Magnolia Sou- 
langeana Nigra)—One of the hardiest and finest 
of all Magnolias. Can be grown successfully 
throughout North America. In midspring, be- 
fore the leaves unfold, the great flurry of flower 
buds suddenly burst open revealing enormous 
Chalice-shaped flowers often five inches or more 
across composed of eight or more huge, waxy 
scarlet petals. For several weeks the magnificent 
display endures, and then the flowers are gone 
as suddenly as they came, and the trees assume 
a mantle of attractive glossy waxy foliage which 
lasts in good condition until late autumn. Scar- 
let Magnolia grows rapidly and is easy to estab- 
lish. Select trees, $3.65 each. 
No. 342. CHINESE MAGNOLIA (Magnolia Sou- 
langeana)—This variety is very hardy and easy 
to grow. The tree is neatly rounded; grows to be 
from 10 to 15 feet high. Its downward sweeping 
branches almost touch the ground in early Spring 
before the leaves unfurl when covered with huge 
waxy flowers, often 6 inches or more across. Its 
waxy white petals are strongly tinged with pur- 
ple and rose. This magnificent tree is found only 
in the most expensive plantings; however, this 
year we offer select bushes at a price you can 
afford to pay. $3.75 each.
