The magnolia, Mississippi's state tree, grows throughout the state tree. The magnolia is an evergreen tree with fragrant white flowers. In 1935, the Director of Forestry held an election for the school children of the state to select a State Tree for Mississippi. Four nominations were made...the magnolia, oak, pine and dogwood. The magnolia received by far the largest majority. On April 1, 1938, the Mississippi Legislature officially designated the magnolia as the State Tree.

Which is the sixth state that joined the US?

I believe the fifth state to join the union is Connecticut. The last commemorative quarter minted in 1999, was for the small New England state of Connecticut. The fifth state to join the union, the Constitution State may be small, but . . . The design of the Connecticut State Quarter depicts Samuel Wylly's oak tree, "The Charter Oak".
