. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 966 MAGNOLIA MAGNOLIA not sufBciently appreciated as an ornamental one in landscape gardening. Maqnolia pit unlet, or Talauvia pitynila, is a very dwarf Chinese species, seldom growing more than 4 or 5 it. high: Ivs. smooth, elliptical, sharp-pointed, coria- ceous: fls. 1-1>2 in. in diameter, white or slightly tinged green, with C-9 fleshy petals, which drop soon after the fls. expand. The fragrance 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 fragrance is un- surpassed, it is strange that it is so little known. P. J.
