GARDEN VARIETY. 
This noble variety of the Tree Peony was raised by the 
Earl of Mountnorris from seeds of P. papaveracea, saved at 
Arley Hall. It differs from the original in being semi- 
double, and in having narrower and more lacerated petals. 
Our plate was prepared from a drawing lent us by Lord 
Mountnorris, in whose possession the plant, we are in- 
formed, almost exclusively exists.
