Cypress Cardens* newest of the three greet gardens* boosts 300 new varieties planted this year, according to B. R. Kittredge, owner — many of them quite as blossom-packed as the luxuriant plant in the middle photograph. In both Middleton and Magnolia Gardena* hundreds of the camellias are more than 100 years old — they are actually “trees” that you could easily climb! In recent years* a number of syndicated artists and writers have been attempting to locate America's largest camellia — and to assist in this, a survey has just been completed. The tallest and largest camellias were found; hitherto unpublished facts were brought out; and these recent photographs are now published here for the first time. The “tree” at the left is the tallest camellia in America. It towers 29 feet* 6 inches; the trunk is SO inches in circumference; wnd the spread is 21 feet. It is a John Harvard with o maroon imbricated dower. C Norwood. Hattie, Jr., is shown beride this record camellia in his renowned -ll~l by John Galsworthy “the loveliest in all the world.” It was nlanted in 1843. From the standpoint of trank circumference, the tree on the right is the largest. Its dreumferenee is 63 inches; the spread is 33 feet; and the height is 21 feet, 9 inches. J. J. Pringle Smith, owner of Middleton Gardena, is shown pointing to one of the thousands of ri"g*e red blossoms which deck his fabulous tree* one of the drat camellias planted in America — sometime between 1783-1785. Because of the shape of the trank, this fantastic tree V called “Elephant's Foot.” who have traveled the world over agree that la there such a mum display of camellias to stagger as at Middleton.
