MAGNOLIA 
Magnolia grandiflora, Southern Mag- 
nolia. Large growing evergreen trees 
always neat in its glossy foliage. The 
immense white fragrant water-lily-like 
flowers appear throughout the sum- 
mer. Give generous amounts of water 
for better blooms. 
MISSION OLIVE 
Olea europea, Manzanillo variety. The 
ornamental value of Olives has been 
recognized a long time but not prac- 
ticed as much as it should. The old 
gnarled, picturesque grey trunks and 
wide spreading masses of greyish green 
foliage are a prize in themselves. Even 
if we don’t grow them for the fruits 
an olive grove with trees 25 feet apart 
in even rows is attractive beyond de- 
scription. Olives almost thrive on neg- 
lect once they are established. Hardy.

Beauty—Many types available.
