GORDONIA ALTAMAHA

This exquisite, spring-flowering, magnolia-like 
tree was first found along the banks of the Altamaha 
River in Georgia, and taken m 1777 to Philadelphia 
by John Bartram, who named it in honor of his

it has been occasionally found elsewhere. It is a 
unique and rare little tree. 2 to 3 ft., $5.00; 3 to 
4 ft., $7.50 each.
