MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLORA. The great Bull Bay is a native 
evergreen which, when in a position it likes, sometimes reaches 80 
feet, making a dark green pyramid on which will show, in places, 
the brown underside of some of the leaves. An impressive picture 
at any time, but when carrying its great white fragrant saucers, 7, 
8. 9 and 10 inches across, there just isn’t anything in the world to 
compare with it. The trees bloom three to four months in summer, 
over which long period one may enjoy these great creamy white 
saucers with their attractive stamen mass. The bloom is followed 
by oval seed pods from which the brilliant red seeds protrude. 
M. SOULANGEANA. Deciduous Mag- 
nolia blooming before foliage appears in 
spring. Flowers large, tulip shaped, pink 
on the outside and white inside. Very tig 
prolific bloomer. nt 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 
MAGNOLIA STELLATA 
A SOUTHERN as mint julep is this aristocratic 
plant. Its thick, polished leaves and striking, sweet- 
scented flowers long ago earned for it a foremost place 
among the flowering trees grown by southerners. Both 
evergreen and deciduous varieties are grown; the ever- 
ereen ones are not hardy far north, but some of them, such 
as the Bull Bay, grow into glorious specimens in favored 
locations in the South. 
Magnolias are not difficult to grow. They need a soil 
that is well supplied with leaf-mold and a location where 
they will be protected from strong winds. They are best 
transplanted in the spring before growth starts; pruning 
to improve the form of the plants may be necessary from 
time to time. 
MAGNOLIA STELLATA. Star Magnolia. One of the finest of a 
fine family. Flower is pure white, and there are just enough of 
the star-shaped petals to make it appear semi-double. The plant 
is a low, bushy grower and seldom reaches a height of more than 
10 feet. Early.
