Meritrorious NovELTIES AND SPECIALTIES
WHICH WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
Besides the extensive collections of general nursery stock which we offer, we have a number of new trees and plants
which seem to have merit and which we take pleasure in now offering for the first time. We consider all worthy of careful
trial. Attention is also directed to the specialties here offered, all of which are desirable and deserve a place in every
garden.
NOTE THE REDUCTION IN PRICES.
AP PIEES.
During the past year no new varieties of special merit have been brought to notice. Our select lists contain the best.
PES:
Under this head a few new kinds are offered, which have done admirably with us, and which can be strongly recom-
mended.
THE BON CHRETIEN FRED BAUDRY PEAR.
A large. handsome, fine flavored, late winter pear. Size medium to large; oblong pyriform ; color yellow, with occasional
blotches of russet ; flesh yellow, tender, buttery, juicy, slightly gritty at core, solid and no evidence of rot ; quality very good
to best, a distinct flavor. Ripea little after Josephine of Malines. A valuable late winter pear. $1.00.
THE B.S. FOX PEAR.
One of Fox's seedlings from California. May be compared as to texture and quality with Anjou, but ripening in Octo-
ber. Stem short; color a beautiful yellow russet when ripe; flesh fine grained, very juicy, vinous; sound to the core. One
of the most valuable introductions Of recent years. $1.00.
THE COL. WILDER PEAR.

large, this variety will be received favorably. $1.00.

Tue P. Barry Pear. (Reduced.)
CHERRIES:
In Cherries we have nothing new to offer. The //ixdsor, introduced by usa few years ago, we consider one of the best
new fruits of recent years. (See General List.)
PLUMS.
The Grand Duke is one of the most valuable plums recently introduced, (See General List). Within the last few years
the Japanese Plums have received a marked degree of attention, and when better known may prove valuable. We offer two
varieties: The Burbank and Abundance or Botan.
THE ABUNDANCE PLUM. (BOTAN.)
Of Japanese origin. Fruit large and beautiful ; amber, turning to a rich bright cherry ; flesh light yellow, juicy, tender,
sweet ; exceedingly productive. Season very early. Saidto be very hardy. $1.co.

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES. 3
PEACHES.
The three varieties here described are of recent introduction and come highly recommended. They have not fruited
with us.
THE CHAMPION PEACH.
A new early Peach described as large, handsome, creamy white with red cheek; sweet, rich, juicy, freestone; a good
shipper. Hardy and productive. soc.
THE CROSBY PEACH. (Excelsior.)
A new variety which comes highly recommended, especially for its hardiness. Fruit medium, roundish, slightly flattened,
bright orange-yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine on sunny side; good in quality. Ripens between Crawford’s Early
and Late. soc.
THE ELBERTA PEACH.
This variety originated in Georgia some years ago, and has proved to be one of the most valuable for that region. It is
also highly.spoken of in other parts of the country. Herein New York State it has done remarkably well, and is considered
highly promising. Large, yellow; quality good. Ripens about with Crawford’s Late here. 25c.
GRAPES Ewe
The grapes and some of the other small fruits here named have been offered before and are described in the General
Catalogue but are of such superior merit that we think it not out of place to direct especial attention to them.
THE DIAMOND OR MOORE’S DIAMOND GRAPE,
A pure native; bunch large, compact ; berry medium size ; color greenish white with a yellow tinge when fully ripe;
flesh juicy and almost without pulp; quality very good; vine vigorous and productive. Ripens with Niagara ora little
earlier. 25C.
THE EATON GRAPE,
A large handsome, very showy grape. Bunch large compact; berries very large, round, black, covered with a thick blue
bloom. In general appearance of bunch and berry, it strongly resembles Moore’s Early. Skin thick, very juicy with some
pulp ; quality good. Promises to be a valuable market grape on account of its handsome appearance. $1.00.
THE MILLS GRAPE.
Raised by crossing Muscat Hamburgh with Creveling. Bunch very large, compact, shouldered, some clusters weighing
over twelve ounces. Berry large, round, jet black, covered with a thick bloom; flesh firm, meaty, juicy, breaking with arich
sprightly flavor. Skin thick; berries adhere firmly to the peduncle. Vine vigorous and productive; foliage large and
healthy. Ripens about with the Concord, or a little later,and isa long keeper. We think it will be especially valuable
towards the South. §r.0o.
One of our customers in N. J., under date of September 2, 1892, writes as follows:
‘‘ Mills Grape now ripening ; immense crop, fine fruit ; vine the most vigorous I have ever had. The vines bought of you
April 30, 1889, now cover a trellis 25 feet long and ten feet high.” J¢ zs the grape of the Suture for this country.”
THE WINCHELL GRAPE.
The earliest white grape (zdentical with Green Mountain). This new white grape has been thoroughly tested for
several years in our vineyard, and it has proved so satisfactory in all respects that we can recommend it with the utmost con-
fidence to our customers. It combines hardiness, fruitfulness, vigor, good size and excellent quality.
Though not the largest, yet, both berry and cluster are of good size, and the flavor is excellent, ranking in this respect as
a grape of the first-class. In time of ripening it may be described as very early, being the first white grape to ripen, and
maturing about the same time as Champion or about a week earlier than the Hartford. ‘This qualification insures its ripening
even in the worst of seasons, a consideration which will be appreciated by all planters. Its habit of growth is vigorous and
the foliage clean and healthy, while its bearing quality is all that can be desired. It can be said to be a most valuable white
grape either for the amateur or professional grower, and there is every reason to believe that it is destined to wide-spread
popularity. We think from what we have seen of it in the past six years, that it is one of the few grapes adapted to general
cultivation, and of especial value for the amateur, while its earliness, productiveness and vigor, combined with fine quality,
in our opinion render it also very desirable for market. Price, 1 year, soc. each; 2 years, 75c. each.
THE COLUMBUS GOOSEBERRY.
Introduced by us. This isa new variety which we have thoroughly tested and which we can recommend with the great-
est confidence. The fruit is of largest size, handsome, of a greenish yellow color, and the quality is excellent. The plant is
vigorous and productive, and does not mildew. It merits a place in every garden. soc. each; $4.00 per dozen.

THE INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY.

THE CHAMPLAIN RASPBERRY,
This valuable new Yellow
Raspberry originatedinVer-
mont. Yellow Raspberries
of good quality, have here-
tofore not been sufficiently
hardy to withstand severe
winters. Brinckle’s Orange,
the best Yellow Raspberry
in cultivation, is rather ten-
der and requires protect-
tion. The Champlain, com-
ing from the cold regions
about Lake Champlain, is
destined to supply this want
and we can offer it with
confidence, believing it to
be the best Yellow Rasp-
berry of good quality, that
is hardy. The fruit is medi-
um to large ; color a beauti-
fullight yellow ; in quality
ranks as best and is supe-
rior to Caroline or Golden
Queen. Plant a strong
grower, prolific and very
hardy. Seecut. 75c. per
doz.
THE EUREKA RASPBERRY. (Black Cap.)
A comparatively new variety. Very large; glossy black:
juicy, rich; early; hardy and very productive. We regard
it as promising. 75c. per doz.

excellent quality ; productive. Said to be very hardy. $1.00 per doz.

good: exceedingly prolific; early. We believe thisto be of value. 75c,
per doz.
THE CHAMPLAIN RASPBERRY.
THE SUPERLATIVE RASPBERRY.
A new foreign red Raspberry, very large and of best quality. Its size, appearance and flavor commend it to ali who
desire the largest, handsomest and choicest fruit; highly commended. s5o0c. each ; $4.00 per doz.
THE THOMPSON’S EARLY PROLIFIC RASPBERRY.
A variety of recent introduction, which we regard as quite promising on account of its earliness, it being the first red
raspberry to ripen with us. Berry medium size, red, quality good ; plant vigorous and productive. soc. per doz.

effect, as will beseen from the picture. The foliage of the tree too is handsome. This tree is well suited for either large or
small places, and should be planted by itself, where it can have room to develop. By cutting, it can be confined to a small

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascertained by divid-
ing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of square feet given to each plant, which
is obtained by multiplying the distance between rows by the distance between the plants. Thus, straw-
berries planted three feet by one foot, gives each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre,

GATHERING PEARS.—One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to gather them at the

Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and Autumn Pears at least a fortnight.
Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fail.
THIN THE FRUIT.—We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: When pear trees are heavily laden,
the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured,

BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS.
WHAT TO PLANT.
In this and similar climates, where great extremes of temperature are experienced, it is necessary to
employ only the most hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Impressed with the importance of this fact,
and in order that our customers may be spared much disappointment and expense, we have omitted from
our catalogue, as far as possible, everything which is liable to suffer from severe cold.
We have also taken great pains to secure, both at home and abroad, all valuable hardy material so as
to render our assortment of this class as complete as possible. An examination of the catalogue shows
what an extensive variety of stock is offered, enabling the planter by a judicious use of the same to
accomplish any desired result with perfectly hardy trees, shrubs and plants.
For the convenience of Planters we have grouped the trees under the following heads: Trees remark-
able for their flowers, Trees of drooping habit, Trees with variegated and colored foliage, Trees with
cut or dissected foliage. The shrubs have been similarly arranged, and parties desiring to make selections
for particular purposes will find this classification useful.
For Parks and Extensive Grounds.—No difficulty can be experienced by any one in mak-
ing selections for this purpose. But we cannot impress tvo strongly upon Planters the importance and
value of flowering shrubs for effective masses and groups. There are many who imagine that the
Rhododendron and Azalea are indispensable. This is a great error. In this latitude both Rhododendron
and Azalea require prepared soil and protection, while hardy shrubs like the Weigela, Deutzia, Spirzea,
Hardy Hydrangea, Japan Quince, Double-flowering Almond, Lilac, Viburnum, Althzea, Peeony, Phlox
and Japan Anemone, when planted in masses, produce a magnificent effect, need no protection, and
demand little skill or care in their management. What grand masses of bloom can be had throughout
the season by a proper use of the various families! Then the purple and variegated-leaved trees and
shrubs may also be planted in such a manner as to afford a rich and striking contrast.
Groups of flowering trees form superb objects at the blossoming season, and it is strange that Planters
do not employ them more.
Highiy effective groups can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing bright-colored bark in winter.
For Lawns and Smail Places.—Whatever specimens are planted should be of the finest
species, of moderate size, of graceful habits of growth and handsome foliage.
A pendulous tree or one with variegated foliage may be occasionally introduced, and will add to the
beauty of the grounds. Depend mainly upon dwarf shrubs for small places, and in selecting aim at
securing a succession of bloom. Dwarf evergreens are very useful, and in small grounds hardy herba-
ceous border plants can be used with the most satisfactory results ; a proper selection will afford as much
bloom as ordinary bedding plants, and at half the trouble and expense.
WHEN TO PLANT.
Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. In localities where the
winters are very severe we recommend Spring planting. Spring is the best time for evergreens generally.
HOW TO PLANT.
Preparation of the Roots.—Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound
wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibres.
Preparation of the Top.—This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a
way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows:
48 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S =
Trees with branching heads, should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones,.
intended for the frame work of the tree, cut back to within two or three buds of their base.
In cases where there is an abundant root, and small top or few branches, the pruning need be very
light, but where the roots are small and the top heavy, severe pruning will be necessary. These remarks
are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Evergreens seldom Tequire pruning, but Arbor Vitz
and other Evergreens planted in hedge rows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.
Directions for planting, mulching, staking and after culture, same as for fruit trees (see Hints in Fruit

Pruning, as practiced by some people, has the effect to render trees and shrubs unnatural and inelegant.
We refer to the custom of shearing trees, particularly conifers, into cones, pyramids and other
unnatural shapes. Every tree, shrub and plant has a habit of growth peculiar to itself, and this very
peculiarity is one of its beauties. If we prune all trees into regular shapes we destroy their identity. The
pruning knife, therefore, should be used to assist nature, and handled with judgment and care; to lop off
straggling branches, to thin the head of a tree which has become too dense, and to remove dead wood.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to prune severely to keep a tree from attaining too great size.
Shearing may be practiced on hedges, but never on trees or shrubs,
PRUNING SHRUBS.
Many persons trim and shear them into regular shapes, imagining that regular outline adds to their
effect and beauty. While symmetry and regularity of form are to be admired in a shrub, this quality
should never be gained at the expense of health and natural grace.
Each shrub has peculiarities of habit and foliage, and we should aim to preserve them as far as pos-
sible. Judicious pruning to secure health and vigor is necessary, but trimming all kinds of shrubs into
one form shows a lack of appreciation for natural beauty, to say the least. Weigelas, Deutzias, Forsy-
thias and Mock Orange, flower on the wood of the preceding year’s growth, hence these shrubs should
not be pruned in winter or spring, but in June, after they have finished flowering, when the old wood
should be shortened or cut out, thus promoting the growth of the young wood, which is to flower the
following season.
Spireeas, Lilacs, Altheeas, and Honeysuckles may be trimmed during the winter or early in spring,
but the branches should only be reduced enough to keep them in good shape. The old growth should be
occasionally thinned out and the suckers and root sprouts removed when they appear. The best time,
however, for pruning all shrubs is when they have done flowering. The Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora should be severely cut back and thinned early in spring.
PRUNING EVERGREENS..
Use the knife occasionally to thicken the growth and preserve the shape. This can be done in April
or May, just before the trees start to grow.

ORNAMENTAL TREES.
IN FOUR CLASSES.
CLASS I.—A General Descriptive List of Deciduous Trees.
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 characteristics of foliage, in three sections—Cut-leayed, Varie-
gated, and Colored, and described in their respective places in the Catalogue.
CLASS IV.—Coniferz or Evergreens.
In order that planters may be able to form an idea of the size which trees and shrubs attain at maturity, a point
which should always be taken into consideration at the time. of planting, so that the specimens may occupy the
proper position, we have adopted letters to denote the various classes as follows:
A. denotes trees which attain the largest size, 50 feet and upwards.
B. ns sf of ee secondary size, 20 to 40 feet.
Cc. af ns fs + medium size, 9 to 15 feet.
D. es trees and shrubs which attain only small size, 1 to 8 feet.
Our object i in the above classification is to lessen the labor and difficulty, as far as possible, of making selections
adapted to particular purposes.
The botanical name of the genus or family, as well as of the species or variety, is placed first in Full Faced con-
spicuous type. The English name follows in SMALL CAPITALS. The German and French names of the genus are also
given in SMALL CAPITALS. It is to be hoped that with the aid of the complete index of botanical and English names,
to be found on the last page, no difficulty will be experienced in finding any tree, shrub or plant described in the
Catalogue.
CLASS I.—DECIDUOUS TREES, UPRIGHT AND DROOPING,
Those preceded by a (*) are the most suitable for parks, avenues, streets, ete. They are propagated in large
quantities, and can be furnished at low rates.
Price.—The prices quoted are for trees of the usual size, ranging from two to seven feet, according to species or variety
