MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA. Probably no flowering tree attracts so much attention as this one when it is coTered, in the Spring, with its abund- ance of large-sized flowers. They ap- pear in such quantities as to completely clothe ihe tree, and the flowers are equally abundant each season. It can be planted either as a single specimen, or in groups of two or three : or an attractive group can be formed by planting together the Magnolia Soulan- geana, the M. conspicua, and the M. purpurea. The INI. Halleana can also l3e advantageously added to the group, as it i3 the first in Spring to open its fiower-buds, although the plant is of Magnolia glauca. Sweet Ba5\ (15 to 20ft.) The sweet white or New Jersey Magnolia, as this is oftentimes called, is greatly prized for its beautiful white, sweet scented flowers. These flowers come later than those of most all other kinds, not expand- ing until the first week in June. In sheltered places it is almost or quite an evergreen. Though it grows in swamps and low ground in its wild state, it does equally as well in higher situa- tions. There are manj' fine specimens in perfect health that bloom profuselj' planted in the high and dry ground in Pitts- burgh, Pa. Use as a specimen plant, in groups on the lawn, or for massing in low ground or along the borders of woods Prune closely when transplanting 12 to IS in. Seed $ 25 each $ !

Following the blossoms, which expand the first week in June, are the rounded fruit pods, which are of a deep carmine when ripe. Will thrive in wet or dry situations. 3 to 4 ft.

One of the most esteemed and useful trees. It becomes a medium sized tree, has large, fresh green leave3 and large white flowers, which appear about the 2cth of May. Later on, when the large fruit pods change to rosy carmine, it is even handsomer than when in flower. Useful as an ornamental lawn tree. 3 to 4 ft.

The Chinese and Japanese sorts are not as large growing as the native ones; their maximum height being about twenty to thirt\- feet. They can either be trimmed up to a single stem,—tree form,— or allowed to grow bushy as shrubs, in which form the maximum height would not be over ten to fifteen feet. When wanted in tree form it should be so stated when ordering. Magnolias should be severely pruned when transplanted, and unless they have been in pots, only moved in spring. Magnolia Alexandrina. (lo to 12 ft.) This is one of the shrub kind, producing large, light pink flowers towards the close of April. Slightly in advance of Soulangeana. 3 ft. Trans $ 75 each " conspicua. Chinese white. (20 to 25 ft.) One of the most esteemed of all. The large, pure white flowers expand about the 20th of April, before the leaves. It can be grown as a large shrub or as a small tree. 2 to 3 ft. From pots $ 75 each $6 00 per 10 3 to 4 ft. " 1 00 " 8 50 " 10 4 to 5 ft. " 1 50 " " gracilis. (lo to 12 ft.) a shrub like kind, much like pur- purea, but with darker purple flowers, which expand about the close of April. vSuitable for massing in beds of shrubbery, 4 ft. Trans $ 75 each $5 00 per 10 " KobuS (Thurberi). (12 to 15 ft.) Another Japanese species, making a small tree of beautiful proportions. The small white flowers appear early, about the same time as those of conspicua do. It does not bloom freely until it gets of good size. The dark green foliage makes it also a verj- pretty tree for ornamental planting. 2 ft. From pots $ 75 each $5 00 per 10 " Lennei. (15 to 20 ft.) a beautiful sort, making a large growth, which can be controlled to form a shrub or make a small tree. The flowers are large, cup shaped, rose colored, expanding towards the close of April. A scarce and valuable sort. 2 to 3 ft. From pots $ 75 each $6 00 per 10 3 to 4 ft. " " I 00 " 8 50 " 10 " Norbertiana. (151020 ft.) a shrub soi-t, with large, light piuk flowers, which expand about the third week in April. 3 ft. Trans $ 75 each
