ORIENTAL MAGNOLIAS 
Some of the most beautiful flowering trees in the 
world belong to this group of deciduous Magnolias. 
Most of them are hardy im nearly all parts of the 
United States, and planting of these beautiful trees 
should be encouraged by nurserymen. 
ALBA SUPERBA. Similar to Soulangeana with almost 
white flowers of larger size. Rounder leaves and a more 
upright grower. 
PINK ALBA SUPERBA. Identical to the above in form 
and growth habit, but with deep pink flowers. 
ALEXANDRINA. Flowers large, dark purplish pink out- 
side and white inside. Very showy and desirable. 
LENNEI. Leaves are much larger than Soulangeana. Cup- 
shaped, larger, bold flowers, which open later than other 
Soulangeanas, deep reddish purple outside and white 
inside. Very choice. 
LOMBARDY ROSE. Large flowers, lower surface of petals 
colored dark rose, upper surface white. A seedling of 
Lennei but faster growing and freer blooming, many 
of the blooms opening in midsummer. 
RUSTICA RUBRA. Large, cup-shaped, dark reddish pur- 
ple flowers, similar to Lennet, and with handsome seed- 
pods more than 6 inches long. It is a vigorous grower 
and especially desirable where a tall spreading Magnolia 
is wanted. Blooms later than Soulangeana.
