This grand Magnolia from the foothills of the Him- 
alayas has been celebrated in horticultural literature 
for many decades, but owing to difficulty of propa- 
gation 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. 
After many years we are finally producing this won- 
derful Magnolia in fairly good numbers. All our 
stock is grafted and traces back to the tree mentioned 
above. This should hasten blooming and in fact 
flowers have already been reported on some of our 
early propagation.

Could be described as a glorified M. parviflora hav- 
ing very much larger snow white flowers with crim- 
son column arising in center. Fragrance is intense 
and delightful. As the flowers hang from the branches 
the plant is best trained in tree form so they may be 
viewed from below. It blooms in late spring or early 
summer on new wood so does not set winter flower 
buds. Flowers are remarkable in having as many as 
8 or more petals together with 3 “‘tepals’’ (petaloid 
sepals ). te
