THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Pæonia Whitleyi.
In the early half of June no flowers are more welcome in bold groups or large single plants than the single kinds of P. albiflora, of which the white-flowered P. Whitleyi shown in the illustration is one. There are other nearly related kinds in various shades of pink, but they are scarcely so beautiful as the white ones. P. albiflora was first discovered in Siberia. It is the parent of the many grand kinds of June flowering double Pæonies, in their many varieties of colouring, of white and yellow-white, pink, rose, and crimson, many of them sweetly scented. Of the garden forms of the single white P. albiflora, of which P. Whitleyi is a wild variety, though scarcely a species, the best is known as Backhouse's The Bride.
