FRUIT GARDEN NOTICES BY THE PRESS. ‘*Barry’s Fruit Garden” is one of those practical, profusely illustrated, and com- prehensive manuals which Orange Judd & Co. delight to publish... It seems to tell almost everything which one book can tell about the ins and outs and ways and means of fruit culture.—The Advance, (Chicago.) _— This volume of 490 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to the culture of fruits of every variety in orchards and gardens. It describes the diseases incident to the various fruit trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the remedies for ridding trees of the evil.— Scientific American. Barry’s Fruit Garden strikes us as about as complete a manual of the kind as could be desired. Nearly everything, in fine, needed seems to be provided in this | compact volume, and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible to even the uninitiated.— The Methodist, (N. Y.) The author writes from his own practical: experience; and that experience is of no ordinary character, being the result of more than thirty years’ work at the head of the largest Nursery in America, where every operation is conducted with eminent _ skill.— The Country Gentleman. It explains all the minutize of fruit gardening, even to the implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, su that the merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the different kinds of fruit that can be raised in our climate in every stage of their lives, from the germ to the fruit-bearing period, with instructions in pruning and grafting, in a most satisfactory manner. The chapter on grapes alone is worth more than the price of the book.—Jersey City Times. It isa rich mine of information upon fruits of all kimds and their proper culture. —Providence Press. Mr. Barry has long been known as an authority upon fruit culture, and this vol- ume of 490 pages, with a full and carefully prepared index, gives the latest results of his study and experience.—Springfield Republican. This beautiful volume of nearly five hundred pages, will be cordially weleomed by every lover of nature. Itisthe most perfect work we have seen on the whole subject, and well deserves a wide circulation.— United Presbyterian, (Pittsburg.)

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1875, by ELLWANGER & BARRY, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. PREFACE TO 28d EDITION. In presenting to our patrons and the public the 23d Edition of this Catalogue we would say that the increased attention now being paid to Ornamental Trees and Plants, is a source of peculiar pleasure to us. It is the realization of what was anticipated years ago, when our Nurseries were first established. At that time, and for many years that followed, there was but little, if any real encouragement, for the propagation of this class of trees. Believing, however, that at no distant day a country so wealthy and enterprising as ours is, would offer a market for such pro- ductions, we gave to this department from the first special attention, and cultivated a variety which for some time was quite in advance of the demand. We introduced annually from Europe all that appeared to be of value for this country. The Cut- leaved Weeping Birch, Kilmarnock Weeping Willow, Oak-leaved Mountain Ash, Imperial Cut-leaved Alder, and other beautiful and popular Hee were first propa- gated and sent out by us in this country. That the utility and beauty of Ornamental Trees and Plants are now becoming generally recognized and appreciated, no better proof is afforded than the great demand which has been created for them. They have become a necessity in the garden, and every one who has a garden must have them. Parks and Pleasure Grounds have also become a necessity, and they require trees for general planting, as well as specimen trees for arboretums. We have anticipated these necessities and are prepared to meet them. Our general stock was never so extensive or well grown as at this time. By the importation of the most interesting foreign ‘‘ novelties,” and by the acquisition of valuable home productions, our collections have been greatly extended, and are fully up to the times. With a view of rendering our lists as usual select and reliable, we have discarded such trees and plants as in our opinion lacked the necessary character- istics of hardiness and vigor. We ask a careful examination of the lists of leading trees and plants, which will be found to embrace almost everything that is desirable. New varieties in the classes of Weeping or Drooping trees, Purple-leaved and Variegated-leaved trees are decided acquisitions. The Rose has always been a favorite withus. We have endeavored to obtain all the new varieties, which are real improvements, and have rejected a large number of the older and poorer ones. Our plants are well grown, of good size, and true to name. The Pony in its new and improved varieties is particularly desirable, and merits special notice. The taste for Hardy Perennial Border Plants is growing, and we have for some years been paying special attention to this class. Our collection now embraces the most ornamental species and varieties in cultivation, as far as we have been able to procure them. Our collection of Evergreens, which embraces not only ali the popular and well known species, but the finest of the California Pines, and others, is large and and interesting. The trees have all been frequently transplanted and prepared for successful removal. FEI, WANGER & BARRY. t HLILWANGEHR & BARRY’S CATALOGUE. ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

CLASS II.—A LIST OF DECIDUOUS WEEPING OR DROOPING TREES, DESCRIBED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES IN THE CATALOGUE. CLASS III.—A LIST OF TREES POSSESSING REMARKABLE CHARAC- TERISTICS OF FOLIAGE, IN THREE SECTIONS—CUT- LEAVED, VARIEGATED AND PURPLE, AND DESCRIBED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PLACES IN THE CATALOGUE. CLASS IV.—CONIFERZ OR EVERGREENS. Our object in the above classification is to lessen the labor and difficulty, as far as possible, of making selections adapted to particular purposes. EXpLANaTion of the change in the arrangement of this Catalogue: The botanical name of the genus or family, as well as of the species and variety is placed first in Full Faced conspicuous type. The English name follows in smaLu capirats. This change, from the former arrangement—of placing the English name first, has been adopted to secure a proper botanical classification. It is to be hoped that, with the aid of the complete index of Botanical and En-lish names on the last page of cover, no difficulty will be experienced in finding any tree, shrub or plant described in the Catalogue.

Itisa variety of the Silver-leaved, and one of the most remarkable and beautiful trees with cut or dissected foliage. Its growth is rapid, shoots slender and drooping, giving it a habit almost as graceful as the Cut-leaved Birch. The foliage is abundant, silvery underneath, and, on the young wood espec- ially, deeply and delicately cut. The leaf stalks are long and tinted with red on the upper surface. We believe it will rank at once among the most interesting and attractive lawn trees, and may be easily adapted to small places by an occasional cutting back, which it will bear to any degree necessary, as well as a willow. $2.00. < oe ee 5 epee LLL a \ \as .

Its tall, slender, yet vigorous growth, graceful drooping branches, silvery white bark, and delicately cut foliage, present a combination of attractive characteristics rarely met with in a single tree. We quote Mr. Scott’s description as follows: ‘*No engraving could do it justice. Like the palm tree of the tropics, it must be seen in motion, swaying in the lightest breeze, its leaves trembling in the heated summer air, its white bark glistening through the bright foliage and sparkling in the sun, to enable one to form a true impression of its character.”” We were the first in this country to call attention to this tree, and since its introduction by us we have propa- gated it by the tens of thousands, yet the stock at present is not equal to the demand.’ See cut page 11. $1.00 to $1.50. t ; ' ay 1 i i} re } 4 i i var. pendula elegans. At the Paris Universal Exposition in 1867, this tree at- tracted marked attention, being exhibited there VY eer for the first time. The accompanying engraving gives a correct idea of its habit of growth. The branches run directly towards the ground, paral- lel with the stem. Its elegant pendulous habit, beautiful foliage and branches, entitle it to be regarded as one of the greatest acquisitions of many years in this class. $2.00 to $3.00. RETULA ALBA PENDULA ELEGANS. var. pendula Youngii. Youne’s Weerine Brircow. Mr. Young, to whom we are indebted for this tree, says: ‘‘ The ordinary Weeping Birch is generally and deservedly admired, as one of the most graceful objects i& our landscapes, so that beyond a brief description of its origin it is not necessary to say more of this variety than that it is the most beautiful of all the Weeping Birches. It was found in the neighborhood of Milford, England, some few years ago, trailing on the ground, and it was with some difficulty grafted on stems, and now forms pendulous heads, _ drooping to the ground in fine, thread-like shoots several feet in length.’’ See eut page 14. $2.00 to $3.00. 14 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S CATALOGUE.

To ensure success in t eir transplanting, they should be moved in the spring— never in the fall, and the Chinese varieties at that period when they are coming into bloom, and, consequently, before the leaves have made their appearance. Great care should be exercised in their removal, the fibrous roots being preserved as nearly as possible, and carefully guarded from any exposure to wind or sun. While almost any good soil is sufficient to ensure their growth, they succeed best in a soil which is warm, rich and dry. American Species and Varieties. M. acuminata. Cucumper Macnouia.

The flowering varieties of the Japan Quince rank among our choicest shrubs. Although of straggling growth, they bear the knife well, and with proper pruning may be grown in any form. As single shrubs on the lawn, they are very attractive, and for the edges of borders or groups of trees they are specially adapted. Their large, brilliant flowers are among the first blossoms in Spring, and they appear in great profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leaves are developed. Their foliage is bright green and glossy, and retains its color the entire Summer, which renders the plants very ornamental. Special attention is invited to this plant for ornamental hedges. It is sufficiently thorny to form a defense, and at the same time makes one of the most beautiful flowering hedges. See Hedge Plants. C. Japonica. Scarier Japan Quince.

Hither in the open ground as pillar plants, bedding plants, single plants in masses or about rock-work, or cultivated in pots or tubs, the Clematis cannot be excelled. We append the following from the English ‘‘Gardener.”. Jackman’s Clematises :— ““They are magnificent ; and more than this, they do give us some of the grandest things in the way of creepers the horticultural world has ever seen, making glorious ornaments either for walls, verandahs, or rustic poles or pillars, varying in color from deep rich violet hue to dark velvety maroon, and in the newer seedling forms, beauti- ful shades of pale bright blue.” They will stand the severest Winters if the roots are slightly covered.

Next to the Rose, the Carnation stands pre-eminently at the head of flowers. It is universally admired, and for brilliancy and beauty of color, and delicacy of fra- grance, is unsurpassed by any other plant. A class called Perpetual or Tree Carna- tion are particularly suited for home culture, or forcing in winter, as they exhibit a constant succession of bloom. They will also flower freely during the entire sum- mer months when turned out in the border. They flourish in any ordinary garden soil, made rich and deep by a generous application of well rotted manure. CARNATIONS............ 30 cents each; $3 per dozen—assorted and named.
