MAGNOLIA 
(Soulangeana) 
The most decorative and most popular of the Hybrid Mag- 
nolias, producing a wealth of very large rose colored blooms just 
before the leaves appear in the spring. The plants are grown 
on their own roots, and should not be compared with grafted 
plants which are cheaper but not hardy.

Evergreens 
These Evergreens have been transplanted. They 
have good roots and well balanced tops. They 
are not to be compared with seedlings so often 
offered. They are 5 to 7 years old and are the 
same that we plant in our open fields to grow 
into larger trees. 
Keep them well moist the first year; also cul- 
tivate them good.
