PREFACE TO 22d EDITION, 1876.
In these Centennial times it is natural to think of the past and measure our pro-
gress. We have been running through the file of our old catalogues, and find that
it is just twenty-six years (1841), since we published the first descriptive edition of
our Catalogue of Fruits in its present form. These nurseries then occupied 80
acres of land.
In 1852 the next edition was published, and then we occupied 200 acres. In 1857
another edition, and then we covered 400 acres. In 1860 another edition, and then
we reached 500 acres, and stated that the previous year we had fruited 400 varieties
of Pear, 300 of Apples, 80 of Plums, 70 of Cherries, besides large collections of
small fruits.
In 1871 the area of land covered by our Nurseries had increased to six hundred
and fifty acres. At that time, asa matter of interest to our correspondents, we made
the following statement as to how the land was occupied, and some of the details of
the business conducted :
Fruit Trees, 450 acres.
Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, &c., 120 acres.
Specimen Trees, Fruit and Ornamental, 25 acres.
Vineyard for-testing Grapes, and bearing small fruit plantation, 30 acres.
Lawn and Ornamental ground around office and Plant Houses, 25 acres.
The specimen fruit tree ground contains nearly 2,000 varieties, exclusive of grapes
and small fruits. The Specimen Ornamental ground is proportionately extensive. and
contains the most complete collection in this country. Every new tree or plant that
promises to be of value for this country, is promptly added.
The Plant Houses are 16in number, and cover fully 30,000 square feet of ground.
These houses are constructed in a solid block so that visitors can pass from one to the
other through the whole series without going out of doors.
In connection with these are a large number of pits and frames, employed in the
propagation and protection of plants, covering more than an acre of ground.
The Box Factory, Carpenters’ Shops, Horse-barns and Packing Grounds with neces-
sary sheds, &c., occupy a separate plot of ground, separated from the office and main
grounds by Mount Hope Avenue, and are provided with every convenience to lessen the
labor and facilitate the work.
The working force consists of about 250 men for eight months, and 50 for four
months, exclusive of office, and a large number of traveling agents. At times as
many as four hundred persons have been employed.
The horse force averages 30, but a considerable amount of horse work is hired in the
busy season.
The management of this large business is greatly simplified by the division and sub-
division of the work—thus: Thereisa general out-door foreman, who advises with
and aids the proprietors in the general direction of the work, with assistants, as fol-
lows: One for the fruit trees; one for grapes and small fruits; one who has general
charge of the ornamental department; one who has special charge of the roses; one of
evergreens; one of herbaceous plants and bulbs; one for the teams and team work,
4 EHLLWANGHR & BARRY’S
who has also charge of the farming operations, and one who oversees the laborers in
large gangs.
Each of these men is held responsible for his own charge. *This is oneof the advan-
tages of a large establishment. Each department is large enough to justify the ap-
pointment of a special head over it, who acquires a skill and expertness in the per-
formance of his duties, which would not be possible for those who are at one thing
to-day and another to-morrow.
The office business is managed by one head clerk, who acts as cashier and aids in the
correspondence; a book-keeper and two or three assistants as the season requires.
The head men have nearly all been in the establishment for upwards of twenty
years; most of the assistants entered it as small boys. ‘
Since this was written our grounds have been extended and improved; the collec-
tion of fruits in the specimen grounds has been constantly enriched with such new
varieties of native and foreign origin as promise to be worthy of cultivation, and is
now, we venture to say, the most complete in the United States. During the past
25 years, our exhibitions of fruits at the leading agricultural and horticultural fairs
have attracted much attention, received the highest awards, and have aided materially
in establishing a correct nomenclature and creating an interest in the study of
pomology.
In the future the business will be conducted with the same vigor, care aud
integrity as in the past. Oursons are associated with us in the management, and
will assume the more arduous duties. We shall continue to give it our personal
supervision as long as life and health may permit.
Our stock of fruit trees at the present time, in its extent, as well as in complete-
ness of assortment and vigcr of growth, has never been surpassed. It is nearly all
grown upon new fresh soil, which produces an abundance of healthy, fibrous roots
and firm, well ripened wood—qualities which all experienced planters will appreciate.
Great inducements are offered to nurserymen and dealers, with whom we are pre-
pared to deal on the most liberal and accommodating terms. (See Wholesale Cata-
logue, issued semi-annvally—Spring and Fall.) Special attention is requested to our
extensive and superior assortment of fruits, suited to various soils and climates, and
grown specially for amateur collections. Parties leaving the selection of kinds to
us, may rely upon being well served. Orders, however small, will receive prompt
and careful attention.
It is needless to add that our shipping facilities are unsurpessed, and packing is
done in the best manner.
The Ornamental Department forms separate Catalogues, Nos. 2 and 3, as well as a
Supplemental List of New Roses.
Our correspondents’ attention is requested to the notice on the following page.

CATALOGUE OF FRUITS.
ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
CORRESPONDENTS will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following
regulations :
ist. All orders should be legibly written out on the order sheet herein enclosed ;
this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes.
2d.. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out.
3d. In ordering Fruit Trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard
trees are wanted for orchards, or dwarfs or pyramids for gardens.
4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees,
kinds of stock, &c., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties,
sizes, ages, &c., may be substituted in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as
happens occasionally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case,
without being expressly requested to do so.
5th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner for
any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is
made, but no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal.
6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages
accompany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance,
- we will exercise our best judgment ; but in all cases the articles are at the risk of the
purchaser after being shipped; and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone musi be
held responsible.
7th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft
on some of the principal cities, or post-office order for the amount.
Sth. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may
be committed in filling their orders, in order that we may at once make ample
amends, as we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those
who favor us with their confidence.

HINTS ON «TRANSPLANTENG | Ge
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 ‘* Tue Fruit GARDEN,”
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:
ist. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.—For Fruit Trees the soil should be
dry, either naturally, or made so by thorough drainage, as they will not live or thrive
on a soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be well pre-
pared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the com-
mon 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
erowth of Fruit Trees, land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat,
corn, or potatoes.
2d. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES.—In regard to this important
operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any other. As a general
thing, trees are placed in the ground precisely as they are sent from 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 condition 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 be all cut back to within three cr four
buds of their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remain-
ing buds to push with vigor. In the case of older trees of extra size, the pruning
must be in proportion ; as a general thing, it will be safe to shorten all the previous
years’ shoots to three or four buds at their base, and where the branches are very
numerous, some may be cut out entirely.
PyramMipaL 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 shoot 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.
DwarF STANDARD TREES AND Dwarr BusHes—Must be pruned as recommended
for standards, aiming at producing a round, well-proportioned head, with the main
branches regularly distributed and far enough apart to admit air freely to all parts.
YEARLING TREES INTENDED FoR Pyramips.—Some of these may have a few side
branches, the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving only the
strongest and the best placed. In other respects they will be pruned as directed for
trees of two years’ growth.
CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. ¢
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 strony 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.
3d. PLANTING.—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
above 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 surface 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 stocks
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.
4th. STAKING.—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.
5th. MULCHING.—When the tree is planted, throw around it as far as the roots
extend, and a foot beyond, five to six 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 equal temperature about the roots.
6th. AFTER CULTURE.—The grass should not be allowed to grow around
young trees aftec being planted, as it stunts their growth and utterly ruins them.
The ground should be kept clean and loose around them, until, at least, they are of
bearing size.
TREATMENT OF TREES THAT HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN THE PACKAGES, OR RECEIVED
DURING Frosty WrEATHER.—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
planting, should be laid in trenches in a slanting position to avoid the winds; the
situation should also 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 IN PLANTATIONS.
STANDARD APPLES, 30 feet apart each way. In poor soils, 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 PiuMs, PEACHES, APRICOTS AND NECTARINES, 16 to 18 feet apart each
way.
QuincEs, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
PYRAMIDAL APPLES, PEARS, CHERRIES AND Prius, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
The greater distance is better where land is not scarce.
Dwarr Appuzs (bushes), 6 feet apart.
CURRANTS, GOOSEBERRIES AND RAspBERRIES, 3 to 4 feet apart.
8 ELILWANGER & BARRY’S
BLACKBERRIES, 6 to 7 feet apart.
STRAWBERRIES should be planted in rows 3 feet apart, and the plants 18 inches
apart at least. In cultivating them for market, the rows ought to be 33 to 4 feet
apart, to admit of culture with the horse hoe or cultivator.

The numberof 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 7ows by the distance between the plants. Thus Strawberries planted three
feet by one foot, give each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.

Our principal stock of Apples consists of the following varieties, which have been
well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation.
DWARF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids or Hspaliers, can be supplied of all
- popular and valuable sorts on Doucin and Paradise stocks. On the latter the trees
are smaller, more prolific, bear sooner, and are therefore more desirable for small
gardens. They can be planted 4 or 5 feet apart, and will bear abundantly the second
year after planting. Where large pyramidal trees or low standards are wanted, the
Doucin stock is preferable.
Among the many espalier forms for training the Dwarf Apple, none are so simple
or so beautiful as the horizontal cordon. Trained along the walks of a fruit or
kitchen garden, they occupy literally no space. The stem is from one and a half to
two feet, and each tree has two arms trained on a wire or wooden rail. The most
suitable trees for this mode of training are one year from the bud, on Paradise stock.

SELECT PEARS.
The following list includes most of those which have been well tested, and proved
valuable.
Those designated by a (*) are of American origin. 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 Prars.—One of the most important points in the management of
Pears, is to gather them at the proper time.
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 fall.
THIN THE FRu1tT.—When Pear trees are heavily laden with fruit, they should be
thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees.
injured.

CHERRIES.
The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any
form that taste or circumstance may require.
For Orcuarps, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where
itis not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with 4 or 5 feet of clean
trunk are preferable.
30 ELIWANGHR & BARRY’S
For Door Yarns, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of
the free growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage are the most suitable.
For Fruir GARrpEns, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities
where the bark of the trunk is liable to bursting, the pyramidal or conical trees,
dwarf or low standards, with two or three feet of trunk, and the dwarfs, branching
within a foot of the ground, are the most appropriate and profitable.
We now employ the Mahaleb stock extensively, as we find the trees on it more
hardy in many cases, and it is adapted to a greater variety of soils.

Their growth is vigorous, branches spreading and foliage luxuriant, soft and
drooping.

Eagle, but earlier, and much firmer,
Cleveland Bigarreau, (Dr. Kirtland’—Large ; clear red and yellow ; juicy,
sweet and rich. ‘Tree fine grower, spreading and productive. Early.

and good. Tree vigorous and upright, with peculiar gray bark. A great
bearer, and so late as to be very valuable. Middle and last of July.
CLASS IIl—DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES.
These two classes of Cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are
of smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of
a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red, like
Belle de Choisy, to dark brown, like May Duke or Morello.
The Dukes have stout, erect branches, usually, and some of them, like Belle de
Choisy and Reine Hortense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender,
spreading branches, and acid fruit invariably. ‘These two classes are peculiarly
appropriate for Dwarfs and Pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness
renders them well worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and Bigarreau
are too tender.
Belle de Choisy—Medium size; amber shaded and mottled with red ; tender,
melting, sweet and rich ; rather a shy bearer. Tree makes a pretty pyramid.
End of June.
Belle Magnifique—A magnificent, large red, late cherry, excellent for cooking
and fine for table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy and rich. Tree
a slow grower, but a most profuse bearer; makes a fine dwarf or pyramid on

dwarf. Middle and last of July. Very valuable.

able for cooking early in the season, Ripens through June.
32 EHLLWANGER & BARRY’S
Empress Eugenie—Large, dark red; flesh juicy, rich; very productive.

E. Richmond.
Montmorency a Longue Queue—Fruit large and of fine quality; hardy.
Montmorency Ordinaire—A beautiful large, red, acid cherry; larger than

SELECT PLUMS.
STANDARD PLUM TREES.
These are generally four to five feet in height, and like all the stone fruits, should
have heads near the ground, making what we term Dwarf or low Standards.
DWARF AND PYRAMIDAL PLUM TREES.
These are adapted to Garden culture, being just as easily grown in the Bush or
Pyramidal form as the Pear or Cherry. The trees furnished by us, for this purpose,
are from two to three feet in height.
DISEASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM.
The prevalence of that disease of the Plum, commonly called the ‘‘ black knot,”
and of the insect known as the curculio, has of late discouraged people generally
- from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention. It is not to be denied that
these are obstacles of considerable magnitude to indifferent, slovenly cultivators ;
but we are satisfied from actual experience, that nothing more than ordinary industry
and perseverance is required to overcome them entirely. Western New York is not
exempt from these difficulties any more than other localities; we hear complaints
about ‘‘ knots” and ‘‘ curculio”’ allaround us. Yet we are able to fruit, in the most
successful manner, some 70 or 80 varieties of Plums annually; getting not merely a
few scattering fruits, but full crops, weighing down the branches, as all will
acknowledge who have seen our trees.
This success of ours is not due to any extraordinary skill, nor to any peculiarity of
soil or climate, but to reasonably good care and culture.
Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect.
We have seen trees growing in grass in some uncultivated door yards, transformed
into a mere mass of black knots, while trees in neighboring gardens under good cul-
tivation, were entirely exempt. In our specimen Plum Orchard we have never lost
a tree by this disease; it does occasionally make its appearance, but we instantly
remove it. Our preventives and remedies are good, clean culture and prompt
amputation.
As for the cureulio, we find no difficulty in protecting the crop from it, by merely
employing a little extra labor. When the trees blossom, and as the fruit begins to
34 HLILWANGER & BARRY’S
set, we dress the ground about the plum trees, and make it very clean and smooth.
Then as soon as the curculio commences its operations, we spread a large sheet,
prepared for the purpose, around each tree, and jar it so as to shake down all fruits
that have been stung, as well as all the curculios. Both insects and stung fruits are
destroyed, and the ground is swept as clean as a floor. This work is performed daily,
and ensures a full crop. The work is done quickly; a dozen trees in a garden can
be attended to daily in less than half an hour’s work of a man. Let those who
really desire to grow fine crops of delicious plums, try this system, and follow it up
rigidly, and they will be successful.

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 regu-
larly 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 superfious shoots should be cut
out clean.
It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is borne on wood of the last
season’s growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorous
annual shoots all over the tree. The plum stock is advantageous in stiff clay, cold
and damp soils.
Price of trees, 25 cents each, except where noted. On Plum stocks, 60 cents each.

SELECT APRICOTS.
eee —
The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess; and
its value is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening—between cherries and
peaches.
In a selection of choice garden fruits, it is quite indispensable. It succeeds
admirably, trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small
gardens, as it may occupy a house wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for
other trees. In cold sections, too, where the tree gets winter killed, or the blossoms
injured by the late spring frosts, these Espalier trees can easily be protected by mat

or board screens. For stiff and damp soils, they should be on plum stocks; but on
light, loamy, gravelly and sandy soils, the peach is better. To protect against the
Curculio, see directions for the Plum.

K="Many suppose it necessary to have their vines forwarded in the pots ; but thisis
an error, except in the growing season. For transportation, the plants should be
taken out of the pots, leaving a sufficient quantity of earth around the roots, and
packing them securely in cloth ormoss. The vines will go safer in this way, and the
expense of carriage will be greatly reduced.

RASPBERRIES.
To keep a raspberry bed in good, productive condition, the old weak and dead
wood should be cut out every season, as soon as the crop is gathered, to give strength
to the young shoots for the next year’s bearing. In 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. ,
PRotTEcTION—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.
Pric—E—20 cents each; $2 per dozen, except where noted.

This is an interesting class of Raspberries, bearing not only a full crop at
the usual season, but another in Autumn, on the canes of the current season’s
growth. To insure a full autumn crop, the summer crop should be sacrificed, by

NOTICES BY THE PRESS.
‘* Barry's Fruit Garden” is one of those practical, profusely illustrated, and compre-
hensive 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 minutiz of fruit-gardening, even to the implements, copiously illus-
trated by engravings, so 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 piuning 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 is a rich mine of information upon fruits of all kinds and their proper culture.——
Providence Press.
Mr. Barry has long been known as an authority upon fruit culture, and this volume 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 welcomed by
every lover of nature. It is the most perfect work we have seen on the whole subject,
- and well deserves a wide circulation.—-United Presbyterian, (Pittsburgh. )
PRelcCh, OSt-PAID, $2.50.
