Advice to Correspondents

Please read before making out order

Order Early

All orders should be sent in as early as possible to insure prompt attention. It is our rule to execute them in the order in which they come to hand, hence v)e cannot delay orders, received first, for those coming late in the season and requiring attention at once. In every case where 'possible it is advisable to forward goods early . If ground is not in condition to plant, they can be left in the boxes, in a cool cellar or kept out of doors with the roots covered with earth.

How to Order

All orders should be legibly written on the order sheet herein enclosed. This will prevent mistakes.

Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees, etc., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, others may be substituted, in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens in all establishments.

Packing and Shipping Directions

All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner and delivered on board cars here at the prices named in this catalogue.

It is requested that post-office address, as well as express office or freight station, accompany each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will exercise our best judgment. On account of the perishable nature of all nursery stock, the safest and best way to ship small and medium sized packages is by express, as the rates have been materially reduced. In cities especially, goods are delivered bj^ the express companies, thus saving cartage. We pack in such a manner that fruit trees and small fruits, ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, and roses, go safely as freight. Hardy border plants should be shipped by express. In all cases the articles are at the risk of the pur- chaser after being shipped, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held responsible.

Terms

All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on some of the principal cities, or post-office or express money order for the amount. If neither can be had, enclose currency in registered letter.

Claims

Claims for deduction must be made immediately on receipt of goods. On account of weather and soil conditions and for other causes beyond our control, it would not be possible for us to give any warranty or guarantee that all will grow. No claims will be allowed for delay or loss by transportation companies— they alone must be held responsible.

Prices

Our prices may not be the lowest, but price is a secondary matter when considering the purchase of Trees and Plants. Quality should count for something, also our long record of over seventy-five years of fair dealing. To buyers in large quantities special prices will be furnished on application.

The prices in this catalogue supersede those of all former editions.

Packing Season

The Spring packing and shipping season usually opens here about the first of April, and continues until about May 15th, depending on the weather. The planting season is not regulated by any par- ticular month or day, nor by the state of vegetation where the planting is to be done, but by the condition of the trees to be planted. Hence, trees can be sent with safety from Rochester to localities several degrees south, even if they do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting season in that locality is passed. In the autumn, we usually commence digging and packing the first week in October and continue until the freezing of the ground, say middle of November.

Fall Planting

The Spring planting season is often of such short duration that much intended work is necessarily omitted or postponed. In the Fall there is abundance of time to plan and plant, and the work there- fore can frequently be done as satisfactorily as in the Spring.

Almost everything called hardy can be planted successfully in the autumn, except in some regions where the winters are extremely severe, or in exposed situations, in which case Spring planting is absolutely necessary.

Evergreens may be transplanted successfully in August and September if weather is favorable.

We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter, of any nursery stock, seeds, bulbs or plants we sell. ELLWANGER & BARRY.

Announcement

STEPHEN GIRARD said : “If I knew I should die to- morrow, I should plant a tree today.”

Since 1840 Ellwanger & Barry have planted and dis- tributed many trees this old elm, 75 years old, which rears its branches near the Ellwanger & Barry offices is the first of these but more important, the Ellwanger & Barry business itself, the branches of which have grown and spread until the name of the firm has become known in every part of the world where trees can be grown.

Mount Hope is the name of a gentle elevation on the out- skirts of Rochester, and it seems prophetic that Ellwanger & Barry should have chosen the place of this name for the commence- ment of their enterprise.

The soil of Mount Hope, varying from the rich loams which have made Western New York farm land famous, to the sandy and sometimes gravelly type of soil in which clay predominates, was ideal ground for experimental effort, but little did Ellwan- ger & Barry surmise the extent of their success-to-be.

Ellwanger & Barry trees have been shipped to the four quarters of the globe, and are growing in China, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Arabia.

The Imperial Gardens at Tokio, Japan, are supplied with Ellwanger & Bairy trees. The United States Consul at Manila wrote of them:

“The Imperial Gardens at Tokio, Japan, are the finest seen and said to be the most attractive in the East. These were, years ago, stocked from the great Nurseries of Ellwanger & Barry of the Flower City.”

The success of this pioneer nursery establishment, as is the rule, gave rise to many competitors and was the cause of Rochester being called the Flower City instead of the Flour City, as it was originally termed.

The bom tree lover’s interest in the pomological and scientific phases of their calling, quickly prompted Ellwanger & Barry to devote quite a large part of their grounds to strictly experimental purposes. Variety test- ing in those days was even more of a question than it is at present. Planters were without experience and without counselors, so that definite and accurate knowledge which could only be gained through practical experiment was wanting, and they immediately set about supplying this great need by planting experimental orchards of apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries and other fruits. These test grounds, maintained for over half a century at great expense, have enabled this firm to give accurate and reliable descriptions in their annual catalogues, thus making these publications valuable guides to orchardists, gardeners, and planters generally, and the catalogues have been edited with such care and accuracy that they are used in many of the Agricultural Schools as works of reference; besides their named collections of all kinds of fruits have been furnished to a large number of the Agricultural Schools for study and use in connection with college work. The great collections of fruit have also enabled the company to make extraordinary annual exhibitions at the Fairs in various States and at the biennial meetings of the American Pomological Society, at all of which they were awarded many valuable prizes. The chief edu- cational features of these exhibitions have been the Ellwanger & Barry exhibits of fruits.

Lovers of trees or plants are welcome to visit the grounds of the Mount Hope Nurseries, where may be seen many handsome, well developed specimens of rare trees and shrubs. One of the most interesting features is a small group of the Sequoia, the giant redwood of California. These trees, in spite of the severe climate, have developed into large, interesting specimens, and they are the largest of their kind growing east of the Rocky Mountains.

From the first Ellwanger & Barry have made the propagation of the rarer ornamentals a specialty, and in order to accomplish this they have employed labor which had been trained in European Schools.

As a member of the American Peony Society the Company has taken an active part in studying the nomen- clature of this popular flower, and their collection is very choice and extensive.

Ellwanger & Barry have always given much attention to the propagation of dwarf fruit trees, such as apples and pears, which are prized by fruit growers, first of all because of their early bearing qualities. Dwarf trees occupy little space and bear three or four years after being set out; some varieties bear the second year. This kind of tree is peculiarly suited to small grounds or gardens, city yards, etc. They are both useful and ornamental. It must be said that they are not intended for orchard planting.

To inspect the nurseries proper where the staple ornamentals and standard varieties of fruits are grown in great quantities, it is necessary to go beyond the boundaries of Rochester and some distance from the home grounds, and here is evidence of the same careful and systematic management that is manifested in the home area.

Ellwanger & Barry are and have been, first of all, a public service institution, and after that a business house. The thousands of fruit trees that they have propagated and caused to be planted everywhere, are now yielding crops of immense value. Unproductive and unprofitable regions have been made productive and highly re- munerative, and an industry has been established which is now adding greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the country. Their ornamental trees, shrubs and plants, for parks, public and private grounds and gardens, are being shipped and used everywhere for embellishment and beautification.

FRUIT DEPARTMENT

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.

We cannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected with Tree Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations. Every man who purchases a bill of trees should put himself in possession of "The Fruit Garden” (see third page of cover), or some other treatise on tree culture, that will furnish him with full and reliable instructions on the routine of management. Transplanting is to be considered under the following heads:

For fruit trees the soil should be dry, either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as Prenaration thrive on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should

of the Soil prepared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the

common one at the second plowing. On new, fresh lands, manuring will be unnecessary ; but on lands exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of clover, or well decomposed manure or compost. To ensure a good growth of fruit trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn, or potatoes.

In regard to this important operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any Prenaratinn other. As a general thing, trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent from r T the nursery. In removing a tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the

roots are broken and destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of the tree is deranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and con- dition of the tree, as follows:

Standard Orchard Trees. These, as sent from the nursery, vary from five to seven feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the top forming a head. These branches should all be cut back to within three or four buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push with vigor. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood.

Dwarf Trees, if of two or three years growth, with a number of side branches, will require to be pruned with a two-fold object in view, viz., the growth of the tree and the desired form. The branches must be cut into the form of a pyramid by shortening the lower ones, say one-half, those above them shorter, and the upper ones around the leading shoots to within two or three buds of their base. The leader itself must be shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been dried or injured much by exposure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.

Yearling Trees Intended for Pyramids. Some of these may have a few side branches, the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving only the strongest and best placed. In other respects they should be pruned as directed for trees of two years growth. Those having no side branches should be cut back so far as to insure the production of a tier of branches within twelve inches of the ground. A strong yearling, four to six feet, may be cut back about half, and the weaker ones more than that. It is better to cut too low than not low enough, for if the first tier of branches be not low enough the pyramidal form cannot afterwards be perfected.

PI . . Dig holes in the first place large enough to admit the roots of the tree to spread out in their ^ natural position ; then, having the tree pruned as before directed, let one person hold it in an upright position, and the other shovel in the earth, carefully putting the finest and the best from the sur- face in among the roots, filling every interstice, and bringing every root in contact with the soil. When the earth is nearly filled in, a pail of water may be thrown on to settle and wash in the earth around the roots; then fill in the remainder and tread gently with the foot. The use of water is seldom necessary, except in dry weather early in fall or late in spring. Guard against planting too deep; the trees, after the ground settles, should stand in this respect as they did in the nursery. Trees on dwarf stock should stand so that all the stock be under the ground, and no more. In very dry, gravelly ground, the holes should be dug twice the usual size and depth, and filled in with good loamy soil.

A\OUNT HOPE NURSERIES

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, ETC.-Continued

If trees are tall and much exposed to winds, a stake should be planted with the tree, to which it should be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing. A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake.

Staking

. , . When the tree is planted throw around it as far as the roots extend, and a foot beyond, five or IVlulcning inches deep of rough manure or litter. This is particularly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere both in spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and maintains an even temperature about the roots.

Aft n It grass should not be allowed to grow around young trees after being planted, as it

^ ^ ~ stunts their growth. The ground should be kept clean and loose around them imtil, at

least, they are bearing size.

. In regard to this all important subject we would recommend our patrons to communicate with P ^ ® the Experiment Station in the state in which they live and get definite instructions about spraying for their particular locality, in bulletins published for the purpose.

Treatment of Trees that have been Frozen in the Packages or Received during Frosty Weather. Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar or some such place, cool, but free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when they can be unpacked, and either planted or placed in a trench until convenient to plant. Treated thus, they will not be injured by the freezing. Trees procured in the fall for spring plant- ing, should be laid in trenches in a slanting position to avoid the winds ; the situation should always be sheltered and the soil dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen boughs over the tops will afford good protection.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES OR PLANTS IN PLANTATIONS

STA^mARD Apples, 30 to 40 feet apart each way. In poor soil, 25 feet may be enough.

Standard Pears and Cherries, 20 feet apart each way. Cherries will do at 18 feet, and the dwarf growing sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet.

Standard Plums, Peaches, and Apricots, 16 to 18 feet apart each way.

Quinces, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.

Dwarf Pears, 10 to 12 feet apart each way. The greater distance is better where land is not scarce. Dwarf Apples, on Paradise stock (bushes), 6 feet apart.

Currants, Gooseberries, and Raspberries, 3 to 4 feet apart.

Blackberries, 6 to 7 feet apart.

Grapes, 8 to 10 feet apart.

Strawberries (see under Strawberries).

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascertained by dividing 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 rotas by the distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by one foot gives each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.

EXPERIMENTAL ORCHARD AND VINEYARD— TRIAL GROUNDS

Our experimental orchard forms an important feature of our business. No similar attempt has been made in this country either by individuals or the government. We have spared neither labor nor expense to maintain this orchard so as to derive from it the most reliable information, and after many years experi- ence we can testify that nothing in connection with our business has been productive of such satisfactory results as the important facts we have acquired from the tests in these grounds.

It has enabled us to determine from our own observations the fruits best adapted to this coimtry, and the lists of varieties now published give evidence of the careful labor performed.

At one time our collection embraced many hundreds of varieties, but we have gradually reduced it, and we now have about 200 varieties of pears, 165 of apples, and 100 varieties of plums, and in our experimental vineyard 175 varieties of grapes.

In the departments of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Paeonies, Roses, etc., we have similar collections fol study and experiment.

SELECT APPLES

We oiFer the following varieties, which have been well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation.

SELECT PEARS

The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and are valuable.

A special list of those which we find particularly well suited to the quince stock will be found at the end of the general list.

Gathering Pears. One of the most important points in the management of Pears ^ is to gather them at the proper time.

Summer Pears should he 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 he left until the leaves begin to fall.

Thin the Fruit. We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: when pears trees are heavily laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.

Dwarf Pears are those which are budded on the quince stock and are particularly desirable for gardens, though from our own experience we have found certain varieties grown in this way very profitable for market.

Prices of Dwarf Pears are the same as for Standard Pears, except in some cases by the hun- dred as noted.

Grade. We offer but one grade of Standard and Dwarf Pears, viz., first-class or No. 1, as follows: Standard trees, about 5 to 6 feet in height; Dwarf trees, about 3 to 4 feet in height. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.

SELECT CHERRIES

The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form that taste or circumstances may require.

For orchards where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with four or five feet of clean trunk are preferable.

For door-yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of the free growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage, are the most suitable.

Grade. We offer but one grade of Cherry trees, viz., first class or No. 1, as follows: Sweet cherries,

average 5 to 6 feet in height; Sour cherries, average 4 to 5 feet in height.

Prices. 25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 10 rate. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.

The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red to dark brown. The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Reine Hortense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid fruit invariably. Their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender.

SELECT PLUMS

The prevalence of the disease of the Plum commonly called the “black knot,” and of the insect known as the curculio, has discouraged people generally from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention.

Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect. Our preventives and remedies are good clean culture and prompt amputation.

Spraying. For the curculio, the most practical treatment is thorough spraying with arsenate of lead, using two to three pounds of poison to fifty gallons of water or dilute lime-sulphur solution, the poison to be applied just as the husks are dropping from the fruit, and again about ten days after the first treatment.

Trees are generally 5 to 6 feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should have heads as low as possible.

Grade. We offer but one grade of Plum trees, viz., first-class or No. 1, averaging about 5 to 6 feet in

height.

SELECT PEACHES

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must be well attended to in peach culture : 1st. Keep the ground clean and mellow around the trees, and give it an occasional

dressing of wood ashes. 2d. Keep the heads low the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 3d. Attend regularly every spring to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year s growth. This keeps the head round, full, and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one- half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds. Sickly and super- fluous shoots should be cut clean out.

It should always he home in mind that the fruit is produced on wood of the last season’ s growth , and hence the necessity of keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree.

Note.— In planting peaches, it is of the highest imporcance to cut back the trees severely. The stem should be reduced about one-third and the side branches cut back to one bud. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push more vigorously. Most failures in newly planted orchards may be ascribed to a non-observance of these directions. ^

Grade. We offer but one grade of Peach trees, first-class or No. 1, viz. : on Peach stock, average about

4 to 5 ft. in height. , -i, i xl u j 4-

RASPBERRIES

To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood should be cut out every season, to give strength to the young shoots for the next year’s bearing. In the spring the weakest suckers should be removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each hill. The ground should be spaded and a top dressing of manure given.

Protection. To guard against injury by the Winter, the canes may be tied to stakes and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the Autumn and covered with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter, or branches of evergreens.

They can be planted in the Fall or Spring with success. Black Caps cannot be planted in the Fall.

STRAWBERRIES

DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE

The Soil and its Preparation. The Strawberry may be successfully grown in any soil adapted to the growth of ordinary field or garden crops. The ground should be well prepared by trenching or plowing, at least eighteen or twenty inches deep, and be properly enriched as for any garden crop. It is unnecessary to say that, if the land is wet, it must be thoroughly drained.

To Cultivate the Strawberry. For family use, we recommend planting in beds four feet wide, with an alley two feet wide between. These beds will accommodate three rows of plants, which may stand fifteen inches apart each way, and the outside row nine inches from the alley. The beds can be kept clean and the fruit can be gathered from them without setting the feet upon them.

Covering in Winter. Where the winters are severe, with little snow for protection, a slight cover- ing of leaves or litter, or the branches of evergreens, will be of great service. This covering should not be placed over the plants until after the ground is frozen, usually from the middle of November till the first of December in this locality. Fatal errors are often made by putting on too much and too early. Care must also be taken to remove the covering in the spring, just as soon as the plants begin to grow.

Mulching to Keep the Fruit Clean. Before the fruit begins to ripen, mulch the ground around the plants with short hay or straw, or grass mowings from the lawn, or anything of that sort. This will not only keep the fruit clean, but will prevent the ground from drying or baking, and thus lengthen the fruiting season. Tan bark can also be used as mulch.

A bed managed in this way will give two full crops, and should then be spaded or plowed down, a new one in the meantime having been prepared to take its place.

ASPARAGUS

DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING ASPARAGUS

Prepare the ground by trenching to the depth of two feet, mixing each layer of soil, as turned over, with tM^o or three inches of well-rotted manure. For private use or for market- ing on a small scale, beds should be formed 5 feet wide, with three rows planted in each, one in the middle, and one on each side, a foot from the edge; the distance of the plants in the rows, 9 inches; the alleys between the beds should be two feet wide. In planting, a line is set and a cut made, a little slanting, to the depth of 6 or 8 inches, according to the size

of the plants. The plants are then laid against the side of the trench, at the distance already named 9 inches care being taken to properly spread the roots. The crown or top of the plant should be covered about 2 inches. In a week or so after planting the beds should be touched over lightly with a sharp steel rake, which will destroy the germinating weeds. Gardening for Profit.

ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT

What to Plant

BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS

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 accom- plish 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 anyone in making selec- tions for this purpose. But we cannot impress too 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, Spiraea, Hardy Hydrangea, Japan Quince, Double-flowered Almond, Lilac, Viburnum, Althaea, Paeony, 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 flowering season, and it is strange that planters do not employ them more.

Highly effective groups can be formed of trees and shrubs possessing bright-colored bark in winter.

For Lawns and Small Places. Whatever specimens are planted should be of the finest species, of moderate size, of graceful habit 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 secur- ing a succession of bloom. Dwarf evergreens are very useful, and in small grounds hardy herbaceous 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 Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. In localities where to Plant Winters are very severe we recommend Spring planting. Spring is the best time for ever greens generally, but they may also be transplanted successfully in August and early in Sep- tember if favorable weather prevails at planting time.

How- to Plant

Pruning

BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS-Connniied

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: Trees with branching heads

should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones, intended for the framework 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 require pruning, but Arbor Vitae 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 Department, pages 6-7 ) . »

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 prime severely to keep a tree from attaining too great size.

Shearing may be practiced on hedges, but never on trees or shrubs, p . Many persons trim and shear them into regular shapes, imagining that regular outline adds to

Shrubs 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, Forsythias and Mock Orange flowe'" on the wood of the preceding year’s growth, hence the shrubs should not be pruned in Winter or Spring, uut 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.

Spiraeas, Lilacs, Althaeas 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 occa- sionally 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 grandiflora should be severely cut back and thinned early in Spring.

Pruning Use the knife occasionally to thicken the growth and preserve the shape. This can be done Evergreens in April or May, just before the trees start to grow.

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- leaved, Variegated and Colored, and described in their respective places in the Catalogue.

CLASS IV. Coniferae 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 proper classes, as follows:

A denotes trees which attain the largest size, 50 feet and upwards.

B secondary size, 20 to 40 feet.

C medium size, 9 to 15 feet.

D and shrubs which attain only small size, 1 to 8 feet.

Our object 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 the species or variety, is placed first in Full Faced conspicuous type. The English name follows 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.

CLEMATIS. Virgin’s Bower

None among hardy perennials exceed in beauty and effectiveness the finer sorts of Clematis. As a climber for the veranda, a screen for fences, for pillars along the garden walks, for training on walls or arbors, in masses on rockwork, or cultivation in pots, it has no rival among strong growing blossoming plants. The Clematis should be grown in rich, deep, sandy loam, and be well mulched with rotten manure in winter. The richest sheets of bloom and largest flowers are obtained where it has partial shade and a literal supply of water at the roots.

After many years’ experience we have come to the con- clusion to grow only a few varieties whieh have proved worthy of general cultivation. The leading and best varieties are Jackmanni^ Hent-yi, Mine. Edward Andre, paniculata and Sieboldii.

TAOUNT HOPE NURSERIES

HEDGE PLANTS

Which may be employed for Ornament, Shelter, Screens and Defense

F or these purposes we recommend Evergreens like the A merican and Siberian A rhor Yitcs, Norway Spruce, Amtrian, White and Scotch Pines, Hemlocks, and many of the Deciduous and Evergreen shrubs, such as the Privet, the California , Ihota, English and Regelianum, Berheris Thunhergii, Rosa Rugosa, Spirceas, etc. , and for defensive hedges, the American Thorn, Honey Locust and Osage Orange.

FOR ORNAMENT

The Siberian Arbor Vitce, in our opinion, takes the precedence among Evergreens as an Ornamental Evergreen Hedge Plant. Its thrifty, compact grovdh, fine form, great hardihood and deep green color, which its foliage retains throughout the year, adapt it especially for dividing lines between lawns or gardens, or for hedges along streets or avenues.

The American Arbor Vitce, though not quite so ornamental in character, being less dense ingrowth and spreading in habit, forms a handsome hedge. It may be obtained at less cost than any other Evergreen hedge plant.

With careful priming the Norway Spruce may be kept low and iq good shape, and grown in this manner is highly ornamental. The Hemlock is a very beautiful Evergreen Hedge Plant.

Berberis Thunbergii and Rosa Rugosa are very desirable for low hedges.

FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS

For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent vunds, or for concealing imsightly objects or views, or for boundary lines, we recommend the Noricay Spruce and Austrian, White and Scotch Pines. Their robust habit, rapid, dense growth, and entire hardiness are characteristics not easily to be foimd in other Evergreens.

The American Arbor Vitce also is particularly valuable, either for shelter or screens.

DEFENSIVE HEDGES

For turning cattle and as a farm hedge for general purposes, the Honey Locust, in this locality and farther north, is the most valuable. It is of vigorous growth, perfectly hardy, and thrives with ordinary care, and is sufficiently thorny to be impenetrable. It bears the shears with impunity, and can be grown in any desired form. The Osage Orange is also in great favor. The varieties of the American Thorn are de- sirable hedge plants.

DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING

Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried by the wind. Plants for hedges should be placed about twelve inches apart; larger sized plants will require more space.

California Privet, Honey Locust, and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows about nine inches apart, setting the plants alternately in the rows ; for example, to plant a hedge of California Privet 100 feet in length, would require 267 plants.'

Other deciduous shrubs for hedges should be planted about twelve inches apart.

PRUNING

Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. Summer priming may be practiced on the Arbor Vitce should the grovdh be too rapid.

California Privet should be cut down to vfithin six inches of the ground just as soon as planted. This will induce a vigorous growth and make a dense hedge.

EVERGREEN HEDGE PLANTS

The roots of all Evergreens will be furnished with ball of earth wrapped in burlap.

HERBACEOUS PEONIES

A noble flower, almost rivaling the Rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, and the Rhododendron in stately growth. The first point in its favor is hardiness. It may be truly said to be “hardy as an oak.” In the severest climate thej plants require no other protection than that which they afford themselves. Then their vigorous habit and healthy growth, freedom from all diseases and insects are important arguments in favor of their cultivation. Each succeeding year adds to their size and beauty. The foli- age is rich and glossy and of a beautiful deep green color, thus rendering the plants very ornamental even when out of flower. The newer varieties produce very large, handsome, regularly formed cupped blooms, resembling large roses. No other flower is so well adapted for large, showy bouquets. The Peony may be planted either singly on the lawn or in borders. Where the lawn is extensive a large bed inakes a grand show, surpassing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really a flower for the million. It flowers early in June. Our col- lection has been made with great care and includes the best and most distinct varieties.

HARDY PHLOXES

PHLOX

Are of vigorous habit, easy culture and produce in great profusion during a long season, flowers of fine form and sub- stance and of bright and varied colors. As regards their cul- ture, it may be briefly stated that they succeea in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occasional supply of liquid manure during the growing season will greatly increase the size of their trusses. When in flower they should be watered freely every evening. The Phlox usually flowers in July and August, and in order to render it autumnal flowering, it is necessary to pinch the shoots about the first of June and again in July. The plants will then flower in September. For early flowers some of the plants may be left unpinched. When two years old the finest trusses are produced. The third year the plants flower tolerably well; but they will not keep thrifty and healthy after that. The old plants should then be lifted in the fall, divided and transplanted. But the better plan is to keep up a succession of young plants from cuttings by secur- ing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign production. The best time to plant them is in the autumn. Our plants are large and fine.

ROSE DEPARTMENT

The Rose is a specialty with us and we propagate it on a most extensive scale.

We annually import all new varieties of apparent merit and carefully test them, retaining only such kinds as prove meritorious, and the same course is pursued with regard to novelties originated in this country, so that our collection embraces the best.

We endeavor, in our Catalogue, to present the merits of each variety fairly and faithfully, being cautious not to overpraise, preferring to say too little rather than too much. Recognizing the importance of robust, healthy habit, hardiness and freedom of bloom, combined with beauty of flower, we propagate largely varieties possessing these characteristics, and most strongly and confidently recommend such kinds for general planting ; and we also give due attention to those choice and beautiful varieties which are less vigorous or robust, and which therefore require extra care to be grown to perfection. In the hands of the rose lover these moderate growers receive the attention they justly deserve, and amply repay the skill and care bestowed upon them.

Our immense stock and great variety of hardy roses enable us to furnish assortments adapted to various purposes, and intending purchasers are invited to examine our lists, and whenever we can be of any assist- ance in making selections our services will be cheerfully given.

MANETTI STOCK

We propagate roses principally by budding them low on the Manetti. We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock adapt themselves to a greater range of climate and soil, bloom more profusely, endure better the heat of the smnmer, and make far stronger plants than if grown on their own roots. Many object to budded roses on accormt of the suckers they sometimes throw out; but if proper attention is paid to the planting, this will rarely be an annoyance.

Budded roses should he planted sufficiently deep, so that the junction of the hud with the stock is from two to three inches helow the surface of the earth. We cannot too forcibly direct attention to the above rule.

BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING, ETC.

When to Plant. If the situation be not too much exposed where the roses are to be set out, we pre- fer fall planting for all hardy kinds. Dormant plants set out in the spring should be planted early, for no plant suffers more from being set out late than the rose. The plants should be put in friable, rich soil, Kud firmly pressed in with the foot, taking care not to bruise the roots.

Pruning. This operation is best performed during March. Most roses do better if moderately pruned; some sorts require two-thirds of the past year’s growth removed ; for others, to remove one-half or one-third is sufficient. All must he more or less pruned when planted ; do not neglect this. As a general rule, the more vigorous the variety the less it should be pruned. All weak or decayed wood should be entirely cut out, and also any shoots that crowd the plant, and prevent free entrance of light and air. Besides spring pruning, many kinds of Hybrid Perpetuals require to be primed as soon as their first blossoming is over, in order to induce a free display of flowers in autumn.

Protection. All roses would be better for a light covering. This may be done by hilling up with earth; or better, by strewing leaves or straw lightly over the plants and securing them with evergreen branches; oftentimes the latter are in themselves sufficient.

Insects. If proper attention is paid to soil, planting, watering, etc., and a few simple directions heeded, you will not often be greatly troubled. The Aphis is among the most annoying foes, and particu- larly infests plants in houses ; healthy plants in the garden are but little liable to its attacks. There are numerous recipes for its destruction, and the cultivator can use those which are most convenient and efficacious.

V2

BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING, ETC— Continued

The vapor of tobacco is very effective in destroying insects. It is customary to strew the ground under the plants with tobacco stems, which being moistened by the syringing creates a vapor which is destructive to insect life.

In the month of May, or as soon as the leaves have pushed forth, the rose caterpillar makes it appear- ance; he can readily be detected, for he glues a leaf or two together to form his shelter. Every day the bushes should be gone over, and these glued leaves pinched between the finger and thumb, so as to crush the caterpillar; let no fastidious grower neglect this, or be induced to try other remedies; this is the only one that is simple and effective. For other insects, such as the saw fly, larvae, and all such as come at a later date than the caterpillar, an occasional syringing, vigorously applied, will prove an excellent prevent- ive. When they have made their appearance, a sprinkling of powdered white hellebore over the plants will often destroy or disperse them ; but the plants should be well moistened before the hellebore is applied, so that it will remain.

For the rose bug, hand picking must be resorted to; it is proof against hellebore, whale-oil soap, and all such applications.

Mildew. This disease is generally caused by extremes of heat and cold, and by a long continuance of damp, cloudy weather. The best remedies are sulphur and soot ; one of these should be applied the moment the disease makes its appearance. It is a good plan to previously sprinkle the plants vtdth water, so that the substance applied will adhere.

AYRSHIRE ROSES

These are of slender, rapid growth, often running fifteen feet in one season, and are used in covering buildings, etc. They do not require rich soil, and should be pruned very little, or not at all.

Bennett’s Seedling, Pure white double flowers of medium size.

CLIMBING POLYANTHA ROSES (Ramblers)

The popular Crimson Rambler is the type of this family and is still regarded as one of the best climbers grown. Since its introduction a few years ago many new varieties of ster- ling merit have been brought out so that the collection now offered embraces a charming and varied assortment, of both double and single flowered varieties of every shade of color, all well adapted for covering arches, pillars, pergolas, veran- dahs, trellises, etc. They are all vigorous growers and pro- duce vheir flowers abundantly and in large trusses.

Blush Rambler, vig. In growth similar to Crim- son Rambler; flowers single, perfectly round, very fragrant, and produced in large clusters; color a rich blush. A free bloomer.

Crimson Rambler. The wonderful Japanese Rose, by far the most important and valuable acqui- sition of recent years. Itis a running or climbing rose of vigorous habit, strong and rapid growth, with handsome, shining foliage, and produces in marvelous abundance clusters of the brightest crimson semi-double roses. Its clustered form, its brilliancy, the abundance of its bloom, and the great length of time the flowers remain on the plant without falling or losing their bril- liancy, are qualities which make this a great favorite. For verandahs, walls, pillars, and

fences, it is a most suitable plant. If grown in beds and pegged down it produces marvelous heads of bloom, or it can be grown in bush form and thus becomes a most striking object. But it is not only for out-door use that is valu- able ; it can be employed most satisfactorily for decorating in-doors when grown in pots, and for forcing at Easter time when pot-grown specimens bring high prices.

Dawson, vig. A vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. Flowers are clustered- like those of the Rosa Multijlora. They are quite full, of a deep pink color, and very fra- grant.

Debutante, vig. Very double, in clusters, soft pink, fragrant.

Helene, vig. Large, pale violet rose, with yellow- ish white center and borne in clusters. A strong grower and free bloomer ; effective.

We do not have agents. Buy direct from the grower and do

away with the middleman’s profit and agent’s commission.

Leuchtstern, vig. Single, in large clusters, bright rose with a distinct white eye, like a Cineraria; foliage and habit resembling Crimson Rambler. A very distinct and valuable variety.

Multiflora Japonica. A charming species, intro- duced from Japan more than a century ago, but only recently brought to notice. It is exceed- ingly free-blooming, and towards the end of June the plant is covered with great clusters of small white, single, sweetly fragrant flowers, in which the golden-colored anthers make a charming contrast with the snowy -white petals. It is extremely hardy and grows rapidly, and is a valuable shrub.

Paul’s Carmine Pillar, vig. Very large, single, bright rosy carmine, and produced abundantly. Grows ten to twelve feet in a season.

Philadelphia Rambler, vig. An improvement on the famous Crimson Rambler, flowers being larger, much more double, and of a lighter crimson color.

Queen Alexandra, vig. Rosy pink, produced in clusters, a strong grower and free bloomer.

Rubin, vig. Resembles Crimson Rambler, but has larger flowers of a deep red or ruby color. Very attractive.

AValtham Rambler, vig. An attractive variety, bearing large panicles of rosy pink single flow- ers, slightly paler in the center and showing the yellow stamens. A strong grower.

Wedding Bells, vig. White, base of petals soft pink ; very free flowering.

W^hite Rambler {Thalia), vig. Small or medium, daisy-like, pretty white flowers in large clus- ters; fragrant; very ornamental.

Yellow Rambler (Aglaia), vig. Yellow in bud, but white when fully open ; when half open the flowers are tinged with yellow, slightly fra- grant. Plant vigorous and free-blooming ; hardy, very pretty and desirable.

NEW RAMBLERS OF EXTRAORDINARY

MERIT

Mrs. Flight. Beautiful pink, semi-double. A strong grower and a very free bloomer. One of the best.

Tausendschon, or Thousand Beauties. Cannot be too highly recommended on accoimt of its free flowering qualities and beautiful white and delicate pink blossoms. It has already been recognized by the leading florists, and is grown in large quantities now for winter forcing, and for garden decoration it cannot be surpassed.

MRS. FLIGHT

THE VIOLET BLUE RAMBLER

Veilchenblau (Violet Blue). This new rambler, which is hailed by the German rose growers as the forerunner of a genuinely cornflower blue rose, is a seedling of Crimson Rambler. The blos- soms, massed in large umbels, are semi-double, of medium size. The color on first unfolding is either reddish pink or purplish pink, then turns amethyst, and finally steel blue as the flower fades. The general color impression is that of the March violet. The yellow stamens appear in sharp contrast to the blue petals. The plant is vigorous in grovfi:h, with shining green foliage and few but sharp thorns. Very hardy.

NEW RAMBLERS Said to be Everblooming

Flower of Fairfield. A sport from the famous and beautiful Crimson Rambler, similar in color, but more brilliant and more lasting than the old favorite. It possesses a further advantage over any other Rambler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young wood in its first year. Of vigorous growth, and when in bloom super- sedes anything else by the wonderful display of its brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms.

G. Mesman (Climbing Baby Rambler). Bears large, compact panicles of bright carmine flowers. As strong a grower as Crimson Ram- bler but not as thorny and free from mildew.

”fcr. Flowers pale salmon pink with yellow anthers ; flowers small, almost single, produced in large clusters; dark green leathery foliage.

PRAIRIE ROSES

These are among the most valuable of climbers. The foli- age is rough, large, with five leaflets generally of a dark color; for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass all climbers in hardiness. The flowers are produced in large clusters late in the season when other summer roses are gone. When it is desired to cover walls, unsightly buildings, etc., with roses, none will be found to do the work so effi- ciently as varieties of the Prairie Rose.

Baltimore Belle, mg. Pale blush, becoming nearly white ; compact and fine.

Queen of the Prairie, mg. Bright rosy red, fre- quently with white stripe. Foliage large and quite deeply serrated.

Setigera. The Michigan or Prairie Rose. When trained over a verandah makes a beautiful dis- play. Large, single flowers, of a deep rose color.

WICHURIANA ROSES (Climbing and ^ Trailing)

This section embraces some very valuable and interesting material for covering rockwork, creeping over banks and tree stumps, also for use as pillar roses. The hybrids introduced in the last few years are remarkable for their beauty' and will have many admirers as soon as they become known. The many' acquisitions in this class should result in creating a fresh interest in Rose culture.

Alberic Barbier, vxg. Semi-double or double, in clusters; creamy white, canary yellow in cen- ter, darker yellow in bud; fragrant. A strong grower.

Dorothy Perkins, mg. Large for a rose of this class, very double, of a beautiful shell pink color, sweetly scented, and borne in clusters of thirty or forty. One of the best.

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES

This class thrives the best in a rich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots should be closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant.

Although they are styled perpetual bloomers, none of them are such in reality. However, many of them yield a fair sec- ond crop of flowers in the autumn, which is very acceptable. Aside from this, there is no class, take it all in all, so popular and which gives such general satisfaction.

RUGOSA ROSES AND THEIR HYBRIDS

This valuable and interesting: group is of Japanese origin. The plants are vigorous growers, attaining a height of three to four feet, have handsome foliage, and bear seed pods which are very ornamental. These desirable qualities, added to exceptional hardiness, render this one of the most valua- ble collections in the catalogue for general planting. The flow-ers of both single and double varieties are beautiful and freely produced, but cannot be used as cut flowers on account of their thorns. The recently introduced doubles like Conrad F. Meyer, Blanc Double de Coubert and Nova Zembla, are acquisitions of great merit. They are all continuous bloom- ers and particularly valuable for garden decoration, ^

Agnes Emily Carman. Flowers in clusters; bril- liant crimson, of the shade of Gen. Jacqueminot; very free blooming, and continuing in bloom nearly all summer; a rampant grower, hand- some foliage, and very hardy.

Atropurpurea, vig. Single, very dark crimson. One of the best.

ELUvVANGBR ^ BARKY^

KILLARNEY

RUGOSA ROSES Continued

Conrad F. Meyer, vig. Flowers large, 3^ to 4 inches across, bud well formed, color silvery rose ; fragrant ; very valuable on account of its hardiness and vigor.

A rose that seems to come midway between La France and Mme. G. Luizet, both in form and color, but with a growth almost as lusty as a Lilac, would, I think, be a true description of the above splendid variety. It is deliciously fragrant, and the foliage has that leathery texture that enables it to withstand cutting winds and even slight frosts, so that instead of a plant marred by the climatic vicissitudes of the spring, we have one a picture of health. I could not name a better rose for a town grower.”— Garden, London, Eng.

Madame G. Bruant, ing. In the bud state the flowers are long and pointed, when open, semi- double ; pure white and fragrant, and produced freely in clusters at intervals throughout the summer; exceptionally hardy and vigorous; forms a handsome bush. Budded plants.

Nova Zembla, vig. A sport of the Conrad F. Meyer, with large, well-shaped white flowers; a great acquisition.

Rugosa alba, mod. A species from Japan. Single, pure white flowers of five petals ; highly scented ; a splendid shrub.

Rugosa rubra, Another Japan variety. Flow- ers single, of a most beautiful bright rosy crim- son, succeeded by large berries of a rich rosy red color, and are a great addition to the orna- mental character of the plant. Makes a beauti- ful low hedge.

HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES

This is a group of considerable importance. They gener- ally flower in small clusters, and bloom freely throughout the year. The flowers are mostly white, and though small are generally of good form. They require a little more care in their protection than the Hybrid Perpetuals.

Coquette des Alpes, vig. or free. White, slightly shaded with carmine ; medium size ; form semi- cupped.

Coquette des Blanches, mg. or free. Pure white, sometimes faintly tinged with pink ; flowers of medium size, somewhat flat, but full and very pretty; growth bushy. One of the hardiest. Late in coming into flower.

HYBRID TEA AND TEA ROSES (Half Hardy)

The roses included in this section are valued especially for their free and continuous blooming qualities which render them particularly useful to plant in beds and groups for the ornamentation of the lawn or to grow in the garden for a supply of cut flowers for decorative purposes.

The collection embraces several of the choicest roses which can be recommended in the strongest terms to plant- ers with the suggestion that they require better winter pro- tection than do the Hybrid Perpetuals. The plants need to be well banked up with earth and covered with straw or evergreen boughs, while those planted in beds should also be protected with boards to keep off wet and moisture.

The extra care devoted to the roses in this class will be amply repaid in the satisfactory flowers produced abundantly and continuously during the summer.

Caroline Testout [H. T.], vig. Large and double, color clear bright rose, very sweet, resembling La France, but of more sturdy habit, very free flowering ; one of the best roses.

Etoile de France [H. T.], vig. Velvety crimson, on stiff erect stems, cupped form; continuous and free flowering; very fragrant.

Gruss an Teplitz [H. T.], vig. Color scarlet, shading to velvety crimson, very fragrant, a free grower and most profuse bloomer; hand- some foliage, especially valuable as a bedding rose. We can recommend it as one of the choicest roses.

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria [H. T.], mg. White, faintly blended with cream color; very large, full and double, almost perfect in form, and it continues beautiful even when fully expanded; very free flowering.

Killarney [H. T.], vig. Color flesh, shaded white, suffused pale pink flowers ; large buds, long and pointed; and blooms profusely throughout the season. »

La France [H. T.], mod. or free. Delicate silvery rose, changing to silvery pink ; very large, full, of fine globular form ; a most constant bloomer. One of the sweetest and most useful of all roses. Maman Cochet [T.], vig. Flowers large, full, clear carmine rose, shaded with salmon yellow. Plant very vigorous and free flowering.

White Maman Cochet [T.], vig. A sport from Maman Cochet, which it resembles in every par- ticular except color, which is pure white, occa- sionally tinged with blush.

New Hybrid Teas

Dean Hole. One of the best of the Hybrid Teas. Flowers large, silvery carmine, shaded salmon ; of fine form, long pointed bud, and very free flowering.

J. B. Clark. Very vigorous habit and remarkable freedom of bloom. The flowers are large, well formed, deep scarlet shaded with blackish crim- son and very fragrant. Its chief merit is its extraordinary blooming qualities.

White Killarney. A white sport of the well-known “Killarney,” with all the prominent and desir- able qualities of that variety. Flowers large and pure white. A great acquisition.

Valuable New Hybrid Tea

Jonkheer J. L. Mock. One of the most promising of recently introduced roses. It is vigorous and sends up strong, erect, flowering shoots; the flowers are of perfect form, of a lovely carmine color, changing to pink, and highly fragrant; they possess the marked peculiarity of develop- ing slowly and lasting for a long time. In our opinion this rose has a great future. $1.00 each.

DWARF POLYANTHA ROSES

Ideal Bedding Roses, Admirably Suited for Bouquets and Boutonnieres.

This is a novel, distinct and charming class of roses. The plant is of dwarf habit and bears abundantly and continu- ously clusters of dainty, small flowers, of perfect form and of various shades of color. While they are admirably suited to cut for bouquets and boutonnieres, they are ideal bedding roses, and supply a long felt want among rose culturists for that purpose. To obtain the best results they should be planted in beds or masses, 25, 50 or 100 plants together, thus insuring a very effective group. These important and valu- able additions should give a new impetus to rose culture.

Anny Muller (Rose-colored Baby Rambler), vip. Large clusters of brilliant rose-colored flowers in great profusion. A splendid bedding variety. Cecile Brunner, mod. Salmon pink, with deep salmon center; very small, full, delicately scented; admirable in bud and open flower. An exquisite miniature rose for floral work. Highly commended.

Clothilde Soupert, vig. Medium size; very double and beautifully imbricated like an aster; pro- duced in clusters ; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to vary, producing often red and white flowers on same plant. A remarkably free and constant bloomer, and of easy culture. One of the most valuable roses.

Katherine Zeimet, vig. Pure white in large clus- ters; very free flowering; one of the best. Madame Norbert Levavasseur (Crimson Baby Rambler), vig. Hardy, vigorous and perpet- ual flowering. The flowers are large, well formed, of a crimson red color, and borne in clusters. For growing in pots in the house, or as a bedding variety, it will be foxmd invaluable. Maman Levavasseur (Baby Dorothy), (Pink Baby Rambler), vig. Clear brilliant pink and very freely produced.

NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE Orleans. One of the most valuable of the Dwarf Polyantha section. The plant is vigorous, very free flowering, and the trusses are very large; color, geranium red suffused with rose. It flow- ers all summer. It is said to be the best Poly- antha ever raised. We regard it as a most important acquisition for bedding.

"The Orleans Rose is, without a doubt, the best of the Dwarf Polyantha varieties. The pyramidal trusses of bloom are of immense size, making a highly decorative pot plant.” London Garden.

NEW BABY RAMBLERS

Joan of Arc. A new and distinct variety with large white flowers ; very promising.

Phyllis. Dwarf Bedding Polyantha. One of the best Polyanthas for bedding ; a vigorous grower and good bloomer till frost sets in; flowers bright carmine pink, shading to white in the center.

Jessie. Dwarf Bedding Polyantha. Another charm- ing novelty. Blooms constantly until killed by frost. Flowers disposed in huge clusters and of a bright cherry crimson color, which does not fade or develop the objectionable purple tints. It is by far the best crimson variety yet placed upon the market and an ideal rose for pot culture, massing or bedding.

Mrs. Taft. An improved Crimson Baby Ram- bler.” Color rosy crimson; a good shade.

Mrs. W. H. Cutbush. Flowers in large trusses and of a beautiful pink color. Habit of Baby Rambler; a charming perpetual flowering Polyantha.

Vaughan’s White Baby Rambler. Flowers are borne in clusters of 50 to 75 individual flowers ; foliage glossy and finely cut; vigorous, hardy and free blooming. A fine bedding variety.
