features make it unique among double whites. The plant is compact and unusually well 
formed with numerous spreading branches making it a heavy producer. It is of moder- 
ate growth and blooms in midseason. A further good point is that flowers are very firm 
so keep well when cut. 
This is named as a tribute to the highly efficient work of the gracious lady who has 
been secretary of California Horticultural Society since its organization in 1933. 3 to 
4 ft., $4.00; 2 to 3 ft., $3.00. 
Owing to heavy sales to nurserymen we have little else to offer this season. Varieties 
and sizes still available as this goes to press are as follows:

As supply of all lilacs is so limited it would be well when ordering to suggest a second 
choice. Unless otherwise instructed we will assume that substitution in same color, size 
and price will be acceptable. ; 
Magnolias 
Our collection of Oriental Magnolias is probably the best in the country but as men- 
tioned in G.A. ’46 we are still adding to it by importation of the rarest kinds. As a 
result of scant propagation during war years we are again unable (with one exception) 
to offer anything this year but hope to have a fair stock next season. 
M. campbelli (7). This grand Magnolia from the foothills of the Himalayas has 
been celebrated in horticultural literature for many decades, but owing to diffi- 
culty of propagation there have been only a few trees in the U.S.A. and none 
of these had been known to flower until the specimen in Golden Gate Park, 
San Francisco, first bloomed in the spring of 1940. The flowers are rosy pink 
and are said to range anywhere from 8 to 14 inches wide. It prefers cool, moist 
conditions and here anyway does not like full sun when young. Balled, 6 to 
7 ft., $40.00; 2% to 3 ft., $20.00; pot grown, 8 to 10 in., $4.00.
