The following catalogues are sent as soon as issued to all customers of two and three years’ standing, whose names are on our books, and to all others who may apply. GENERAL CATALOGUE (published Spring, 1894,) of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Evergreens, Small Fruits, Clematis, Hardy Plants, Roses, etc. (160 pages) containing brief hints on transplanting, distances for planting the various trees, and other useful informa- tion. This edition has been prepared with great care and at large expense; the descriptions are complete and correct, and the illustrations are mostly from photographs of specimens in our col- lection. We trust that it will serve not merely as a price-list, but will prove a useful hand-book. A list of the best novelties to date is given separately. AN INDISPENSABLE CATALOGUE. ‘‘ The General Catalogue of Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y., is a solid octavo pamphlet of over 150 pages, closely printed and profusely illustrated. We have found the publications of this house particu- larly accurate botanically, on which account it is always a pleasure to refer to them for the spell- ing of a name or distinguishing between varieties that are confused with each other; and of course all readers know of the high excellence of the plants of every kind that the Mt. Hope Nurseries have been supplying now for more than fifty years. Altogether the Catalogue is indispensable to persons who need any publication of the class to which it belongs.”—Cudltivator and Country Gentleman, March 1, 1894. A CREDIT TO THE COUNTRY. ‘“Concise descriptions fill its pages — descrip- tions intending to enlighten, not to befog—and herein lies the marked superiority of this Cata- logue over almost any other of the same class with which we are familiar. It isa credit to the country and a speaking example for younger and less experienced nursery firms to follow.” —Rural New Vorker, March 3, 1894. ‘* Besides containing more valuable information on horticulture and floriculture than any like pub- lication I ever saw, it is a work of art, and the best of it is that everyone knows that whatever they may order from Ellwanger & Barty is just as represented in the Catalogue. I congratulate you on havi ing the most complete nursery in the country.’ ’_C.M. Lorine, President North Am. Telegraph Co , Minneapolis, Minn ; also ex-Com- metsstoner M. in neapolis Parks.

The fruit is of good size, roundish, averaging larger than Josephine. Flesh tender, juicy, melting; flavor distinct, excellent. In quality it ranks as very good to best. As the number of late-keeping, high-flavored pears is not large, this variety will be received favorably. $1.00. The Worden Seckel Pear. A seedling of the Seckel raised by Mr. Sylvester Worden, the originator of the now famous Worden Grape.

The fruit is large, handsome, with golden yellow skin, covered with a bright crimson blush. Flesh yellow, juicy ; quality good, though not quite equal to Crawford. A peculiarity of the Elberta is that the fruit can be gathered before it is ripe, and it will ripen up without rotting. It bears transportation well, and, taken all in all, is a variety of great promise. 25c. The Columbus Gooseberry. This is one of the most valuable introductions of recent years in small fruits, and it fully sustains the high opinion first formed of it. It was introduced by us afew yearsago.

One of the best novelties in hardy flowering plantss 2256: New Roses. The Wonderful New Japanese Rose, Crimson Rambler. By far the most important and valuable acquisition of recent years.., The Crimson Rambler is unquestionably an acquisition, a novelty of high_order, and most distinct in its characteristics. It is 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 brilliancy, are qualities which will make this new claimant for admiration an assured favorite. For verandas, 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 become a most striking object. We planted this rose out doors, along with Hybrid Perpetuals and other hardy roses, and the plants came through the winter even better than many of the hardy varieties, remaining fresh and green to the very tips. But it is not only for out-door use that it is valuable ; it can also be employed most satisfactorily for decorating in-doors when grown in pots. We are satisfied that this is the greatest rose novelty of recent years. Dormant field-grown plants. 5oc. Pink Rambler. (Euphrosine.) ‘In vigorous growth and profusion of bloom this equals Aglaia; the color is bright red, the half- open buds being brilliant carmine ; when fully open the numerous yellow anthers give the flowers a charming effect.’’ 5oc.
