These are 20 Southern Magnolia Seeds.
Rub and wash off all of the red pulp, then plant. That coating can be a little hard to clean, try soaking in tepid water for 24 hours to remove the coating. Then push out the hard seed and wash in dishwashing soap to remove any oily residue.
Plant seeds to a depth of 1/2 inch in tray of potting mixture of two parts peat moss, one part all-purpose potting soil and one part sand. Water thoroughly and cover the container with plastic wrap to maintain moisture.
Set in a warm location to germinate. Monitor closely. Keeping the soil evenly moist, but avoiding soggy soil. Open the plastic daily to provide air circulation and to stabilize moisture. Seedlings emerge in 4 to 6 weeks.
Remove the plastic wrap and place seedlings in a sunny window. Plant in individual pots once seedlings have developed the second set of leaves.
Plant outside in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Magnolias like full sun and well-drained soil. They need plenty of room to grow. Avoid planting close to buildings or foundations.

Good Luck!

On the east coast of the United States, cold-hardy cultivars have been seen planted up to and even north of the Ohio River, where large tree specimens become increasingly rare and eventually are only found as shrubs before disappearing altogether from the landscape; for example, large mature trees are common in the Cincinnati, Ohio area but begin to taper off in size and occurrence until they are generally absent altogether in Columbus, Ohio.

Hope this helps...
