Gardening. 066 MAGNOLIA MAGNOLIA not sufficiently appreciated uy an ornamental one in landscape gardening;. Magnolia puniilii, or TaJawna pumila, is a very dwarf Chinese species, seldom growing more than 4 or 5 It. high: Ivs. smooth, elliptical, sharp-pointed, coria- ceous: fls. l-Ui in. in diameter, white or slightly tinged green, with (J-i) fleshy petals, which drop soon after the Hs. expand. The t-ragrance is intense at night, and resembles a ripe pineapple. It thrives best in a rich, partially shaded soil, but a frost of 10° below the freezing point will injure it. It is therefore best to grow it as a conservatory plant. Prop, by ripened wood cut- tings in bottom heat. As this plant is in bloom during nearly the whole year, and its delicate fra2:rance is un- surpassed, it is strange that it is so little known. P. .J.
