The Magnolia is so 
firmly established in the tradition of the old South that it deserves an honored place in every 
home garden. 
Magnolias are not difficult to grow. They need a soil that is well supplied with leaf-

planted in the spring before growth starts; pruning to improve the form of the plants may: be 
necessary from time to time.
