. The care of trees, in lawn, street and park [microform] : with a list of trees and shrubs for decorative use. Trees; Jardins; Arbres; Landscape gardening. 290 Trees for Shade and Ornament. The exotic magnolias from China anl Japan form quite a gi<jup by themselves, and are prized for the profusion and magnificence of their early flowers. They are hardier than most of our natives and can be grown as far north as New England, forming most desirable ornaments for every garden and small place, especially when grouped with kalmia, rhododendron, and other evergreen shrubberj'. For best flower effects they should be kept trimmed to shrub form. There are many species, varieties, and hybrids, varj-ing mainly in color and size of flower. The most commonly planted, remarkable for the profusion of their large fragrant flowers which appear before the leaves in earliest spring, are — M. Yidan Desf. (230) (conspicua), a small tree from China, semi-hardy into New York and New England, with pure white flowers; M. ohovata Thunb. (231) {purpurea) is usually a large shrub with stout branches and purple flowers, and a variety of this, M. gracilis, is a small bushy shrub, with slender branches and dark purple flowers (May, June). M. parviflora S. & Z. (232) and M. Waisoni Hook. (232a) excel by their large, creamy-white flowers with crimson stamens. M. skllata Max. (233) (Halleana), one of the most beautiful of the smaller trees (eight feet), compact and with spreading branches, is quite hardy, bearing profuse, small, white, dainty, and fragrant flowers when quite small, and very early (March, .\pril). M. Kobiis Thunb. (234), from Japan, one of the hardiest (as far as Toronto), is a medium-sized tree, with yellowish-white flowers bloom- ing rather later in life. .1/. hypoletica S. & Z. (235), a tall tree from Japan, and also quite hardy, with verj- large leaves, bright green above, silvery-white to bluish beneath, and very large, fragrant, creamy-white jx'tals with scarlet
