Evergreen 
Magnolias 
The Evergreen Mag- 
nolias are indigenous to 
the South and are among 
the most satisfactory 
and highly prized of all 
the shade trees, the 
lovely foliage having as 
much ornamental value 
as the flowers of most 
trees. 
Magnolia 
grandiflora 
The great Bull Bay is the 
South’s finest native ever- : : — 
green tree, forest specimens This illustration is from a photograph of one of our own grafted trees which never vary 
often reaching a height of from that perfect pyramidal shape 
80 feet. The trees are 
roughly pyramidal in form ; ; . : 
with heavy leaves 5 to 8 inches long, glossy dark green above, and covered with soft brown felt beneath. The picture 
made by one of these magnificent trees in the sunlight is one any home-owner may justly be proud of. The flowers 
which are produced over a period of two to three months in summer, are great waxy, creamy white saucers, 7 to 
8 inches across, each bloom with a mass of yellow stamens and giving out a delightful fragrance. Its flowers are 
followed by large pods covered with brilliant red seeds. 
Years ago we found that there was a great variation in seedlings, so we selected the most perfect types and grafted from 
them. In this way we have built up a strain that is superior to the wild trees and, we believe, to any stock in commerce any- 
where. Our trees are uniform in size, shape, foliage and flowers, making them especially desirable for street planting. 

GLAUCA (Sweet Bay). This beautiful Magnolia, evergreen in the South, has small, sweet-scented flowers and bright green 
leaves that are silvery gray beneath. Very fine and desirable. 
GLORIOSA. A variation of Grandiflora that produces flowers even larger than Grandiflora itself!
