. Rare Florida flowers and fruits. Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs. LION'S TAIL. MAGNOLIA GRANDIFLOKA. Magnolia Grandiflora. The wondrous Magnolia of the South, the most mag- nificent of all our Southern broad-leaved evergreens Leaves very large, much like those of the Rubber Tree, dark, shining green above and a beautiful rusty brown beneath, forming a striking contrast. Flowers 6 to 8 inches across, creamy white, waxy and powerfully fra- grant. Forms a majestic tree 60 to 80 feet high. Not con- sidered hardy north of Washington, though a well pro- tected specimen in Philadelphia blooms annually. But as it begins blooming when quite small, it can be treated as a tub plant and wintered in the cellar. Price of fine pot- grown plants, which are sure to live and grow off finely, 20c. each. Magnolia Fusoata {Banana Shrub) —A Chinese dwarf evergreen species growing only from 2 to 4 feet tall and exceedingly fine for pot culture. Completely covers itself with small cream-colored erect flowers of the most exquis'ite fragrance, similar to that of a ripe banana. So powerfully scented are they when the sun shines that one or two will perfume a large room. Perfectly hardy in the South, where it is universally loved by all who know it. Nice plants, 25c. each; larger, 3oe.
