Oh aMeERRIES 
The “Star Magnolia,’ Magnolia Stellata, is one of the loveliest 
early flowering shrubs. Unfortunately it also is one of the most 
difficult trees to transplant. In addition to that, it is very slow 
growing. But here is good news, Dr. Merril of the Arnold Arbore- 
tum in Boston, has after many years of hybridizing and testing, 
succeeded in creating a star-like flowered Magnolia which is of 
rapid growth and which transplants without the slightest diffi- 
culty. In recognition of his many years of work, we have called 
this new variety, ‘Dr. Merril.’’ The tree illustration on this page 
is about 10 feet high and 8 feet in diameter. Early in spring it is 
literally covered with white star-like blossoms. Its growth is rapid. 
The plant in question is only eight years old. It is from this speci- 
men we obtained our cuttings four years ago, the first of which 
are now being offered for sale. For a fine specimen lawn plant it 
is tops, because when not in bloom it is a handsome specimen with 
excellent foliage. In spring, however, when in flower, it is mag- 
nificent. Allow plenty of room around it and plant it in full sun 
for best results. It is hardy as an Oak. We offer a limited number 
of plants for this year.
