growing and younger blooming. Fragrant beyond description, 
Own-root, not budded, so wild sucker growth will never 
bother you. For infinite long life, rapid growth and evyery- 
Paul year bloom, these strong 3-yr. plants are worth ten times 
Thirion 
as much as the old-fashioned varieties.

Most Stately, Most Dramatic of All FloweringTrees 
Magnolia Soulangeana. You need no longer admire 
the gorgeous spring blooms of the widely loved saucer 
Magnolia in someone else’s garden! Many of our plants are 
already budded; all are sturdy and will give you many years 
of enjoyment once they have become established in your 
garden. This magnificent variety, commonly called the 
Saucer Magnolia, bursts into glory early in the spring with a 
stunning display of 6-in. flowers that have generous, heavy- 
textured petals of glistening white with purplish or rose 
tones on the reverse side. One of the first trees to bloom in 
the spring, Magnolias are literally 
covered with flowers even before 
the leaves appear. Later the foliage 
is broadly oval and a rich leathery 
green. It makes a very handsome 
ornamental tree, which under ideal 
conditions grows as high as 30 ft. 
A splendid tree for growing in 
smoky city areas. Good drainage 
rather than a rich soil is the prime 
essential for Magnolias. For best 
results apply fertilizer every two 
years. They are hardy in practically 
all sections of the country. If peach 
trees will live in your locality, 
Magnolias will do well there, too. 
5-year tree, 18 to 24 in. tall, 
$3.50 each; 2 for $6.50; 
3 for $8.75; 6 for $17.50
