Garden Variety. 



This noble-variety of the Tree Pseony 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.
