MAGNOLIA 
STELLATA 

MAGNOLIAS 
HE Magnolia family embraces both evergreen and deciduous types, so that one may indulge his fancy for 
picturesque bare branches in winter, at the same time enjoying the fine evergreen type. 
Deciduous Magnolias 


















HE deciduous Magnolias, gorgeous blooming Oriental shrubs or small 
trees, are thoroughly at home in the South and are likewise hardy and 
well adapted to conditions in the North. The flower-buds mature in the 
fall and open in great profusion in late winter or early spring, just before 
or at the time the new leaves appear. 
Liliflora (1M. purpurea). This beautiful Chinese Magnolia will grow to a height 
of 10 feet. The tulip-shaped flowers, opening before the leaves appear, are 
purple outside and white inside. It is a midseason bloomer. 
Liliflora nigra (M. soulangeana nigra). Similar to M. liflora but with larger 
flowers that are darker in color. Midseason. 
Soulangeana. Hardy in northern gardens, this fine variety has flowers that 
are pinky purple on the outside and creamy white within. Early. 
Soulangeana lennei. This variety is one of the most picturesque of the 
deciduous Magnolias and will grow to a height of 18 feet. The leaves are 
broader than those of Soulangeana and the large cup-shaped flowers are a 
bright rosy crimson, white inside. Late. 
Stellata (Star Magnolia). One of the finest of a fine family. Flowers 
pure white, and there are just enough of the star-shaped petals to 
make it appear semi-double. The plant is a low, bushy grower and 
seldom reaches a height of more than 10 feet. Early.
