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.)

ELLWANGER & BARRY,
PROPRIETORS.
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.

ORNAMENTAL TREES.
IN FOUR CLASSES.
CLASS I.—A GENERAL DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF DECIDUOUS TREES CF
UPRIGHT AS WELL AS THOSE OF DROOPING HABIT.
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.
CLASS |—DECIDUOUS TREES, UPRIGHT AND
DROOPING.

(GOLDEN-LEAVED SycAMORE MAPLE.)
A. d. var. argenteum striatum. Stver Srriep-teavep Marie. A
variety of the Silver-leaved, remarkable for its variegated foliage. $1.00.
var. erispum. Orisp-LeaveD Marie. Another variety of the Silver-
leaved, with delicately cut and curled foliage, very distinct and fine. $1.00.
var. Wagneri laciniatum. Wacyer’s CUT-LEAVED Sinver Map.e.
A distinct and remarkable variety, with delicately cut foliage. $1.00.
rar. Wierii laciniatum. Wirr’s Cur-teavep Sinver Marie. In-
troduced by us in 1873. 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.

B.a. var. pendula laciniata. Cvur-
LEAVED WEEPING BircH. Beyond question one
of the most popular of all weeping or pendulous
trees. 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.

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

MAGNOLIA ACUMINATA,
(CUCUMBER MAGNOLIA. )
the early spring is grand beyond description, illuminating the whole landscape and
loading the atmosphere with their rich perfume.
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. A beautiful, pyramidal growing tree,
attaining from 60 to 90 feet in height. Leaves 6 to 9 inches long, and bluish green ;

CYDONIA. Quince.
(Nat. Ord. Pomacez.)
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.

within the last five or six years are great acquisitions. 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.

CARNATIONS AND PICOTEES.
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.
