best of all the deciduOus native kinds.
The flowers are large, white, coming
soon after the leaves unfold. The
flowers give way to greenish cones of
seeds, which, when ripe, in August,
are of a bright carmine color. 1t is
then that the tree is handSOmer than
at any other time of the season. The
bright cOlOred pods are at the ends of
the shoots, and are from three to four
inches in length. They remain, adOrn-
ing the tree until the close of October.
" hen fully mature the pods open and
from the cells the scarlet covered seeds
protrude, suspended by tiny threads,
the whole forming a pleasing picture.
To increase this magnolia, or any 9th
err one, the seeds should be collected
when ripe, washed free of pulp, and
then be SOwn at once or else be kept
mixed with damp sand in cool cellar
until spring and then sOwn. Unlike
many other trees which have been
called umbrella trees, this does not
take it's name from any peculiar
growth of it's branches, but from the
way the leaves are arrayed OIL the
ends of the branches, they being in
whOrLS not unlike an umbrella. This
and all magnOliaS have fieshy roots,
and all trees of this character are bet
ter tranSplanted in the spring in the
North than in autumn in fact, moved

Umbrella Magnolia.

In one of our exchanges we found
that Mr.. Joseph Meehan had described
this species. Unfortunately we have
lost the name and cannot give proper
credit This Magnolia is a native of
the Southern states and should be
cultivated.
There is no more desirable tree
among all magnOlias than the one
called the umbrella tree, botanically,
Magnolia Tripetala. All magnOlias are
considered most desirable, those of our
own country mainly for their hand
some appearance when i'm leaf and
when i'm fruit; the Asiatic ones for
their magnificent flowers, which in
nearly every case come in advance
of the leaves. The umbrella magnolia
is a native of Southern Pennsylvania
