OF NEW AND SPECIALLY DESIRABLE VARIETIES AT 
THE WABAN NURSERIES. 
NEW OR RECENTLY INTRODUCED ROSES. 
Mrs. John Laing. a hybrid remontant seedling from Franfois Michelon, 
which is regarded in England as second only to Mme. Gabriel Luizet as an 
exhibition rose. It is unsurpassed in value for forcing and for continuous 
flowering in the open ground. It is vigorous and hardy; flowers large and 
of fine form; soft-pink and deliciously fragrant. A most desirable variety. 
75 cents. 
Duchess of Albany. A hybrid Tea. A sport from the well-known La France, 
but in some respects surpassing even this excellent and popular variety. It 
is as vigorous, free-blooming, and fragrant as its parent, and is more perfect 
in the form of its flowers, which are of a rich, deep-pink color. Both for 
forcing and for open culture it is one of the most valuable of recent intro- 
ductions. 50 cents. 
Lady Castlereagh. Tea. "Large and full; soft, rosy yellow, with rose color 
predominating on the margin of the petals; robust branching habit; fine 
foHage." 50 cents. 
Waban. "A sport of the Tea Catherine Mermet, and resembles it in every 
way, e.\cept in color, which is a rich, bright, clear pink." It bids fair to be 
an exceedingly valuable forcing variety. Small plants ready in April. 
$1-2$.
