Pet- Grown MAGNOLIAS 
r ‘HE snow has scarcely vanished when the charming Stellata 
unfurls its delicately scented, waxy white petals, to be followed 
by Soulangeana and its relatives, with their larger goblet-like 
flowers. All varieties carry some fragrance and are ideal subjects 
for lawn planting, borders, etc. They are highly adaptable to city 
planting. 
Our method of growing these plants In pots assures you of a 
complete root system, uninterrupted growth, and reasonable safety 
from the usual first-year hazards. Magnolias require a well-drained, 
moist soil, and after the second year a top dressing of well-decayed 
manure will prove beneficial.

attractive. $3.50 each.
