Pot-Grown MAGNOLIAS 
Transplant Readily 
At all seasons Magnolias are pictur- 
esque. They have strikingly beautiful 
flowers, strong foliage, interesting seed- 
pods, and a unique habit of growth that 
is particularly noticeable in winter.

this latter group has spent its beauty, 
Lennei takes up the task of prolong-

Magnolias thrive in somewhat 
rich, moderately moist but porous 
soil, and should be planted in a sunny 
area to do their best. 
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. 
Conspicua. Yulan Magnolia. Very large, 
creamy white, sweet-scented flowers, 6 
inches across, in April. A small tree with 
spreading branches. $3.00 each. 
Cordata. The only Magnolia with lemon- 
yellow flowers. An exceedingly rare and 
beautiful tree. The delightful fragrance 
of the lovely blooms, which measure al- 
most 4 inches across, perfumes the gar- 
den in April and May and again in the 
fall. Its nearly round, heart-shaped 
leaves distinguish this from other varieties 
when not in bloom. Well-grown plants, 
about 1 to 11% feet. $4.00 each. 
Parviflora. Semi-double, waxy white flowers 
21% inches across, with a ball of deep rose- 
pink stamens in the center; this most un- 
usual flower formation might best be described 
as a big, luscious, red-ripe strawberry placed 
upside-down in the middle of the chaste 
white circle’of petals. Wild fragrance. Unusual 
and attractive. $3.50 each. 
Soulangeana. Saucer Magnolia. The popular 
variety of northern gardens, developing into a 
small tree. Large pink-white flowers, tinted 
purple at edges. $3.00 each. 
Soulangeana Alexandrina. A pronounced 
dark red, deep purple toward base, bud open- 
ing to white inside, blooming May 1 to 10. 
$3.00 each. 
Soulangeana Lennei. Lenne Magnolia. 
Flowers rosy crimson outside, white inside; 
large petals. Blooms about May 6. Matures 
into an open bush form. $3.50 each,

OTHING is more fascinating in spring than a Magnolia in full bloom, before 
the rest of the landscape really awakens. Stellata, the earliest to bloom, unfolds 
its silvery, star-shaped blossoms very early, usually before foliage appears. 
The large-flowering Chinese varieties follow Stellata. Of these, Corsprcua and 
Soulangeana and its varieties begin to bloom when Stellata is passing. By the time 
For years we felt the need of Magnolias 
grown in pots, which are easier to trans- 
plant and assure better results than field- 
grown plants.
