 CAMPBELLil Hook. F. and Thoms., S. p. I. No. 47714.) 



• Magnolia 



Campbell's magnolia, considered the handsomest of that whole genus of beautiful trees, grows SO feet 

 or more in height and makes, as ttiis picture shows, a wonderful display with its mammoth flowers 

 justbeforetheleavesappear. It is native to the Himalayas, where it ascends to an altitude of S,000 

 feet. It has been grown successfully in the milder sections of England and will probably prove 

 hardy only in our Southern States. "(Photographed by Joseph F. Rock, Darjiling, India, March 4,
