MAGNOLIAS (Continued) 
M. SOULANGEANA ... Most popular variety in the 
United States and Europe because of its hardiness 
and profusion of blooms. Flower 6 inches across 
with 9 petals and somewhat of lily shape that opens 
into a saucer form. Color ranges from nearly white 
to dark purplish pink. Foliage small and narrow 
in comparison with most other varieties. 
M. ALEXANDRINA ... A hybrid that is more vig- 
orous than the Soulangeana. Flower larger, 9 petals, 
color of most blooms dark purplish pink and white 
on the inside of petals. Blooms at our nursery two 
weeks later than Soulangeana and usually escapes 
the danger of late freezes. Foliage larger than Soul- 
angeana. There are several varieties called Alex- 
andrina today; we obtained this variety from several 
nurseries and the flowers differ. The stock we are 
offering was propagated from a plant that was im- 
ported from France years ago and is now growing 
in Evergreen, Louisiana. It was recommended to 
us under the name of Alexandrina by the late Mrs. 
Dan DeBaillon of Lafayette, La., who was an au- 
thority on Magnolias. There is another very attrac- 
tive Magnolia with much whiter blooms called 
Alexandrina Alba.
