The Queen of Magnolias as It Grows at Darjiling, India. (Magnolia 

 campbellii Hook. F. and Thoms., S. P. I. No. 47714.) 



Campbell's magnolia, considered the handsomest of that whole genus of beautiful trees, grows 80 feet 

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

 justbeforetheleavesappear. It is nativeto the Himalayas, where it ascends to an altitude of 8,000 

 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,
