NEW WHITE HYBRID REMONTANT.—MARGARET DICKSON.

‘s

NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES. 13

DAWSON (Hybrid Multiflora. }

This promising new Rose is a true hybrid obtained by Mr Jackson Dawson of the Arnold Arboretum, by
Rosa multiflora with the well known Hybrid Perpetual, General Jacqueminot, the latter being its pollen pare

isa vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. The spines and foliage are like those of the poll
the flowers are clustered like those of the Rosa multiflora, appearing in clusters of from ten to forty, and astl
on the clusters come into bloom in succession, the flowering season is continued foralongtime. Thecolor of
light rose pink. and fades to a still lighter color, not turning purple. The plant seems perfectly hardy, and wt ir
its full size it will probably cover aspace fully twenty feet square. It promises to be a desirable addition to our hardy roses.
This variety is described at length in *‘ Garden and Forest,’’ July 26, 1893, and accompanied by. two fine illustrations from

photographs. $1.00.
EMPRESS AUGUSTA VICTORIA (Tea).

An extra fine white variety faintly blended with cream color : very large, full and double, almost perfect in f
continues beautiful even when fully expanded. Its fragrance is a combination of tea and magnolia, and is
and distinct from that of any other variety. Beautiful glossy foliage: a vigorous grower and very free flowerir
at every shoot. Will undoubtedly prove very valuable for forcing. 5oc. i

MADAME G. BRUANT (Hybrid Rugosa).

One of the first of a new race of hybrids, and all things considered one of the best roses of recent years. 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 thesummer. Lxrceptionally hardy and vigorous. Conspicuous for its wealth of beautiful foliage and profusion
of white blooms. its hardiness, vigor and beauty will make it very popular as an ornamental shrub. Strong plants, grow:

out of doors, soc. y
MAMAN COCHET (Tea).

A new French Tea Rose. Flowers large, full, clear carmine rose shaded with salmon yellow. Resembles Mermet. but
larger. - Plant very vigorous and free flowering. $1.00.

MARGARET DICKSON—(Hy-
brid Remontant. )

Of magnificent form ; white, with pale flesh
center ; petals very large, shell-shaped, and of
great substance: fragrant; a very promising
variety; foliage very large, dark green. $1.00.

*-A most valuable addition to our white
perpetuals, probably leaving all other white
flowers.in the background.”’—-/ournal o/
Horticulture, London.

This seems to be the coming White Hardy
Rose.

ROSA SETIGERA (The Michi-
gan or Prairie Rose.)

This is not a new rose by any means, but it
seems to have been lost sight of for a number
of years. Now that single roses are so popu-
lar this variety will be much sought after. It
is a climberand when trained over a veranda
makes a beautiful display, although it prob-
ably looks best when planted at the top of a
bank and is allowed to send itslong. vigorous
and graceful shoots irregularly to the bottom.
It is a good subject to plant as a single speci-
men onthe margin ofalawn. If set in good
soil and with sufficient room its arching stem
will forma mass of foliage ten or twelvedeet
in diameter. It produces corymbs of large
single flowers nearly three inches across of a
deep rose color on their first appearance, but
turning nearly white before they fade—hand-
some pale blue green foliage. Usually in finest
condition from 15th to 20th of July. $1.00.

“One of the handsomest of single roses.”’—
Garden and Forest, June 20, 1892.

ROSA WICHURAIANA. (The . Aw \ Sn GS®™
Japan Trailing Rose.) Me |) ; ULL

A variety from Japan; it isa low trailing Shae D
species, its stems creeping on the earth al-
most as closely as the Ivy. The flowers are
pure white, It is quite hardy, and has proved
valuable as a covering for banks, rockeries,
€tc., and for use in cemeteries. A great
acquisition. soc. JAPAN TRAILING ROSE—ROSA WICHURAIANA.

TURNER’S CRIMSON RAMBLER (Climbing Polyantha).

: Originally received from Japan and first introduced in England Fall 1893. Described as follows: ‘The brightest
crimson color. flowers are produced in large trusses of pyramidal form ; plant of very vigorous growth, producing shoots 8 to
ro feet long in one season: a grand variety for climbing or pegging down; very hardy, free flowering and continuous bloomer
and, in fact, too much that is good cannot be said of this fine new variety.”’. Small plants, $2.00. *s

THE PRAIRIE ROS

(Rosa Setigera.)

‘* The Michigan or Prairie rose grows wild in many parts in the Western States, and is the only native climbing rose
that we have got. It isa vigorous species, making vines ten or more feet in length in one season, and it is one of the hardies
of all roses. It comes into bloom about the first or fourth of July, after the flush of other roses is past, its large single brigh
rose colored flowers being borne in ample clusters all over the plant. But the blossoms are scentless. This wild rose is th
parent of Gem of the Prairies, Queen of the Prairies, Baltimore Belle and some other of our most popular hardy, climbing

double-flowered roses, but not one of its offspring can equal the parent in loveliness.

Notwithstanding the great beauty and hardiness of this rose, you will seldom find it in cultivation ; this is much to b
regretted, for it is one of the most desirable roses extant. Don’t let the craze for double roses shut your eyes against the
charms of this single rambler, and don’t be prejudiced against it because its flowers are single.” —Gardening. See ae

THIRD EDITION OF OUR GENERAL CATALOGUE

:
The first edition of our general catalogue, issued in 1890, the fiftieth year of the establisliment of the

firm of Ellwanger & Barry, gave such general satisfaction that we have concluded to publish the third
edition in similar style, but with revised and complete descriptions. The simple and systematic arrange-
ment which has been adopted, combined with a complete index, renders the publication very convenient

for reference, and of great assistance to our patrons in making up their orders.

We have taken special pains to secure a correct nomenclature and classification, and to make the
descriptions as accurate and intelligible as possible. Several new illustrations from photographs of speci-
Mens on our grounds, have been added, and we think the present edition will serve, not merely as a
catalogue or descriptive priced list, but as a useful handbook and manual, containing valuable cultural
directions, and other important hints, indispensable to planters.

In both the Fruit and Ornamental, as well as in the Rose Departments, our Nurseries are kept fully up
to the times. We endeavor to procure, as soon as introduced, every novelty at home and abroad that
promises to be worthy of dissemination ; our trial grounds are maintained at large expense, but we feel
amply repaid for the expenditure by the valuable information we obtain in this manner.

The immense stock which we cultivate, embracing great and varied collections suited to different soils
and climates, and the large force of skilled nursery assistants which we have in our employ, in addition
to exceptional facilities for lifting, handling, packing and shipping, place us in a position to promise to our
patrons the careful execution of all orders, large and small, that may be entrusted to us.

It is our aim and intention to supply only the best stock at the lowest prices consistent with the qual-
ity of the goods offered, ard all intending purchasers will find it to their advantage to give us an oppor-
tunity to furnish estimates upon their lists,

We are grateful for the liberal patronage which we have enjoyed for more than half a century, and
solicit a continuance of the same.

BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENT

MADE ON THE

BUT EEE CaN eo eller ae

OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE

MOUNT HOPE NURSERIES.

We take especial pleasure in addressing our patrons at this time, for this year we celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the establishment of our Nursery. Beginning with a few acres and no capital except
industry, perseverance and a determination to succeed, we made progress slowly at first. On two occa-
sions tire destroyed all of our buildings and hail ruined our stock, and so very discouraging was the out-
look that we were on the point of giving up the business ; but, after carefully considering the matter, we:
resolved to make another attempt, and starting anew, put forth all our energies, and from that time, suc-
cess crowned our efforts. Space will not permit or we could give many interesting facts and experiences
which would show conclusively that success was only achieved by years of hard labor, mental and phy-
sical ; but being young, strong and ambitious, we did not take into account labor, so long as we accom-.
plished what we set out to do.

The history of the progress and development of the business cannot be shown in any better way than:
by quoting from our catalogues issued at different times, as the demands of our business required. In
the preface to our catalogue issued in 1846, six years after starting, the following statement is made:

“Our Nursery grounds are quite extensive. Weat present occupy FIFTEEN acres and are prepared to plant
six more the ensuing autumn. Our purpose is, and has been since the formation of our establishment, to make
here in Western New York, a collection of fruits unsurpassed by any in the country, embracing every valuabie
variety of either native or foreign origin, adapted to our soil and climate; with this end in view, we have been
gathering from time to time from every quarter, such varieties as we have found to be held in high estimation in
their respective localities. Two years hence we shall have a superb list of American fruits; our extensive per-
sonal acquaintance with the principal fruit growers and nurserymen in England and on the continent has enabled.
us to make arrangements to receive annually any new and valuable fruits that may be brought to notice. Our
practice is to plant a specimen tree of every variety cultivated in order to test it under our own observation; our
specimen grounds now contain upwards of two hundred varieties of apples, one hundred and fifty of pears, sixty”
of cherries, fifty of plums, &c.”’

We invite particular attention to this reference to our experimental orchard, which, as will be seen,
was commenced early in the history of our establishment. This experimental orchard has been a con-.
spicuous feature of our business. No other similar attempt on so broad a scale has been made in this.
country, either by individuals or the government. From the moment we started, to the present, we have:
spared no time, labor nor expense to maintain this orchard, in such a manner as to derive from it the
greatest amount of good; and now after so many years of experience we can testify that nothing in con-
nection with our business has been productive of such satisfactory results as the important information we:
have acquired from the tests in those grounds. It has enabled us to determine by our own observations.
the fruits best adapted to this country, and the lists of varieties now published give evidence of the care-
ful labor performed.

In addition to the grounds devoted to the trial of fruit, we have always given much space to specimen
ornamental trees, shrubs, &c. Our collections embrace everything that has been found suitable for plant-
ing in this and similar climates ; and we annually add every novelty which appears to have merit. ‘These
collections have always been well cared for, correctly labeled, and open to the inspection of the public.

‘In the preface to our catalogue published in 1847 it was stated we had enlarged our Nurseries to a con-
siderable extent, in order to be the more fully prepared to meet the increasing demands of the public for
nursery productions. ‘‘ They cover at present twenty-three acres of land, and ten acres more, now in
complete readiness, will be planted the ensuing fall and spring. We state these facts to show that we
are earnestly endeavoring to carry out our designs of making this the largest, most correct and complete:
in the Union.”

GENERAL CATALOGUE.

or

Twenty years later Mr. John J. Thomas, then, as now, editor of the ‘‘ Country Gentleman,” made the
following statement in the ‘‘ Register,” concerning this establishment:

“This Nursery was established in 1840 by Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry, in the southerly part of Rochester, since
which time it has been so enlarged that it now covers five hundred acres, probably the most extensive Nursery in
the world. The wide celebrity of this great establishment, its extent of business, and the interest generally felt to
know its operations, require a notice of corresponding fullness :—

“The fruit department occupies 350 acres, in about the following proportion of the different kinds: Standard
apples, 72 acres; dwarf apples, 31 acres; standard pears, 69 acres ; dwarf pears, 57 acres; standard and dwarf cher-
ries, 25 acres; standard and dwarf plums, 20 acres; and 82 acres of other fruit trees, seedling stocks, &c., &c.

“The ornamental department occupies 90 acres, about as follows: 24 acres of evergreen trees; 50 acres of hardy
deciduous trees and shrubs; 8 acres of dahlias, bulbs and herbaceous plants; 5 acres specimen trees, &c.

“The men employed are about 225 to 250 in the season, and about 80 through the winter. Three men are con-
stantly employed in book-keeping, correspondence, &c., in addition to the extensive labor in correspondence per-
formed by the proprietors themselves. They have opened and built a street, which is exclusively occupied by their
foremen, head workmen, &.

**A single season’s budding numbers about 700,000 in the fruit department, and 100,000 in the ornamental. To
insure complete accuracy, one of the proprietors cuts all the buds, which he immediately passes to a number of
hands who accompany him, who remove the leaves, when they are marked and transferred to the foreman of the
respective budding companies.

At the commencement of the twenty-first year, the following reference to our prosperous growth was
made in a new Catalogue issued at that time :

“ We give this brief history of our progress, not in the spirit of boasting, but simply to show our friends and
patrons how their generous encouragement has aided us in extending and perfecting our culture, and in carrying
on the plan of a large Nursery, upon which we started twenty years ago, and which was then considered a youthful
chimera by almost everybody but ourselves.”

‘** During the period of seven years that have elapsed since our last edition was issued, fruit culture has made a
greater progress in this country than it ever did before in the same period of time. Not only have fruit trees been
planted to an extent altogether unequaled, but numerous societies have been vigorously prosecuting the work, in
all parts of the country, of eliciting and collecting information regarding the best modes of propagation, culture,
and general management of fruit trees, the best varieties for the various soils and climates of the country, and, in
fact. upon all that concerns fruits and fruit-tree culture. The information which has by these means been placed
within our reach, added to the results of our own experience and close and constant observation, enables us to
correct many errors which unavoidably existed before. We have given much attention to the work of testing
yarieties. Our experimental grounds have cost us much, in both money and labor; but we are well pleased with
the investment, for it enables us to carry forward our work with a degree of intelligence that is in a measure sat-
isfactory to ourselves, and gives to our patrons a reasonable guarantee of our accuracy.”

The editor of the American Rural Home, in writing recently of the Nurseries, said :

“We think that we are speaking within bounds when we say that the Mount Hope Nurseries, in this city, founded
and perfected by Messrs. Elwanger & Barry, are the most complete nurseries on the American continent. There
are others, doubtless, that cover more acres, devoted to two or three specialties, as apples, pears, etc., but no other
in which the various species of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, yines and plants are so fully and so well repre-
sented. The professional horticulturist, florist and landscape gardener can find a better opportunity of examining
specimens and studying their peculiar merits here than elsewhere, and the amateur who wishes to ornament his
grounds with the choicest that will grow in our climate, will be more certain to find them here than in any other
nursery in our land. The products of this grand nursery have been scattered all over the United States, and have
been sent far beyond our borders. Scarcely a city, town or hamlet in this country but has been made more beau-
tiful and enjoyable by its contributions. It must afford the honorable proprietors in this. the 2fternoon of their
lives, a great deal of pleasure, when they reflect how much they have ccntributed to the physical comfort, the
refinement and the mora! elevation of their countrymen by a vocation which, while it has conferred such blessings
upon our peopie, has brought a generous return to themselves.”

We have thus placed before our patrons in a concise form the history of the origin, progress and
development of what has certainly proved to be one of the largest commercial enterprises of the country.

The City of Rochester during the period of her early growth profited largely from the employment of
so large a number of men, and the impetus then received contributed greatly to her future prosperity.

At the present writing our Nursery is fully, up to the times. The stock is large and complete, both in
the fruit and ornamental departments, and embraces, besides all the old standard varieties, a number of
novelties which seem to have merit.

We have recently erected a new storage house of large capacity, which makes the third of these houses
that we have built. Ail are filled with choice fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, roses, small fruits,
grapes, pzonies and plants, forming a complete assortment. We are therefore prepared to fill orders all
winter for early planting.

We retain our large force of skilled nursery assistants and are unusually well equipped to execute all
orders, large or small, promptly and correctly, and upon the most favorable terms.

| ELLWANGER & BARRY.
January, 1890.

ADVICH TO CORRESPONDENTS.

| Please read before making out order. |

CORRESPONDENTS will greatly oblige by observing, as far as possible, the following regulations :

ist. 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 we cannot, except for extraordinary rea-
sons, delay orders, received first, for those coming late in the season and requiring attention at once. Jn
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, or taken out and the roots covered with earth.

2d. 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.

3d. In ordering fruit trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees are wanted for
orchards, or dwarfs for gardens.

4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees, kinds of stock, etc.,
it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes, ages, etc , may be substituted, in.
case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens occasionaliy 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 lab-led 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.

6th. It ¢s requested that post-office address, as well as explicit directions for marking and shipping pack-
ages, accompany each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will exercise our
best judgment. We pack in such a manner that fruit trees and small fruits ‘excepting strawberries),
ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, and hardy border plants, go safely as freight. In all cases the
articles are at the risk of the purchaser after being shipped, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder
alone must be held responsible. Ladies are requested to sign themselves Miss or Mrs. as the case may
be.

7th. For shipment abroad, we pack in the best manner, in close boxes. Our consignments to all
parts of the world have generally been received in good condition, and parties who favor us with their
orders, may rely upon the same having careful attention. Shipments of this kind can usually be made
to the best advantage in the months of October and November.

8th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on some of the
principal cities, or post-office or express moncy order for the amount. If neither can be had, enclose
currency in registered letter.

9th. Our customers ure requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be committed in fill-
ing their orders, so 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.

ARTICLES BY MATL.

For the convenience of those who cannot be reached by railroad or express, packages of small articles:
will be sent by mail prepaid, such articles to be charged at full retail prices.

THE PACKING SEHASON.

The Spring packing and shipping season usually opens here about the 1st of April, and continues
into the month of May. The planting season is not regulated by any particular 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 to end 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.

The once prevalent notion that Fall planting is not advantageous, has proved to be erroneous,
and with the exception of evergreens, 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 cases Spring planting is absolutely necessary.

—

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 him-
self in possession of ‘‘ THE Frurr 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: 4

ist. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.—For fruit trees the soil should be dry, either natural
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 prepared by twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the
subsoil plow after the common one at the second plowing. On new, fresh Jands, manuring will be
unnecessary ; but on lands exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy
crops of clover, or welldecomposed 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.

2d. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES.—In regard to this important operation, there are.
more fatal errors committed than in any other. Asa general thing, trees are planted 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 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 rocts up to the sound wood. In case of older trees, of extra size, the pruning must be in propor-
tion; asa general thing it will be safe to shorten all the previous year’s shoots to three or four buds at
their base, and where the branches are very numerous some may be cut out entirely.

DwaRF OR PyRAMIDAL TREES, if of two or three years’ growth, with a number of side branches,
will require to be pruned with a two-foid 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 ihe strongest and the 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.

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 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
surface in among the roots, filling every interstice, and bringing every root in contact with the soil.

8 ELLWANGER & BARRY S

eee

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 awa
stock should stand so that ad/ 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 or 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 after being
planted, as it stunts their growth. 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
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 con-
venient 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 Gatered and the soil dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen foueke over the tops
will afford good protection.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES OR PLANTS IN PLANTATIONS.

STANDARD 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, APRICOTS AND NECTARINES, 16 to 18 feet apart each way.

Quincss, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.

DWARF OR PyRAMIDAL PEARS, CHERRIES AND Pius, 10 to 12 feet apart each way. The greater
distance is better where land is not scarce.

DwakF APPLEs (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.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be ascertained by divid-

GATHERING PEARS.—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 fort night.
Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until the leaves begin to fail.

THIN THE FRUIT.—We cannot urge too strongly the following suggestion: When pear trees are heavily laden,
the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown; else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured,

SELECT CHERRIES.

The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form that taste or circum-
stances 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.

For fruit gardens, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities where the bark oi the trunk is
liable to burst, 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 itis
adapted to a greater variety of soils.

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 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. These two classes are peculiarly appro-
priate 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.

Arch Duke—Large; bright red, but becomes very dark when fully ripe; flesh melting, juicy, rich, sub-acid. Tree
rather more vigorous and upright than the May Duke; hardy and prolific. Ripe first and second weeks in July.

mended as a variety of great value. Valuable for canning and preserving. Treea/free grower. 50c.

STANDARD PLUM TREES.

These are generally five to six feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should have heads as low as possible.

DWARF PLUM TREES.

These are adapted to garden culture. The trees furnished by us for this purpose are from two to three feet in
height.

DISHASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM.

The prevalence of the 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

if oT

GENERAL CATALOGUE. 23

satisfied, from actual experience, that nothing more than ordinary industry and perseverance is required to over-
come them entirely. Western New York is not exempt from these difficulties any more than other localities; we
hear complaints about “knots” and “curculio” all around us. Yet we are able to fruit, in the most successful
manner, seventy or eighty 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 grow-
ing in grass in some uncultivated door-yards transformed into a mere mass of black knots, while trees in neighboring
gardens, under good cultivation, were entirely exempt. In ourspecimen Plum Orchard it does occasionally make its
appearance, but we instantly remove it. Our preventives and remedies are good clean culiure and prompt amputa-
tion.

As for the curcuiio, 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 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 cur-
culios. Both insects and stung fruits are destroyed. 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 PHACHES.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must be well attended to in.
peach culture :—lst. 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 superfluous shoots should be cut clean out.

Tt should always be borne in mind that the fruit is produced on wood of the last season’s growth, and hence the
necessity for keeping wp a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all over the tree. The plum stock is advantageous in.
stiff clay, cold and damp soils. We do not have all the varieties on plum stock, but will furnish a list on application.

Nore.—In planting peaches, it is of the highest importance 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 C
enables the remaining buds to push more vigorously. Most failures in newly planted orchards may be ascribed to:
a non-observance of these directions.

SHLECT APRICOTS.

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 the selection of choice garden fruitsit 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 trees get 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.

Many suppose it is necessary to have their vines forwarded in the pots; but this is an error, except in the
growing season. For transportation, the plants should be taken out of the pots, and packed securely in moss. 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, 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 ma-
nure 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 ever-
greens.

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.—Ffor 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.

Culture in Hills.—This is the best mode that can be adopted for the garden. To obtain fine, large, high-fla-
vored fruit, pinch off the runners as fast as they appear, repeating the operation as often as may be necessary
during the summer and early autumn. Every runner thus removed produces a new crown in the center of the
plant, and in the fall the plants will have formed large bushes or stools, on which the finest strawberries may be
expected the following season. In the meantime, the ground among the plants should be kept clear of weeds, and
frequently stirred with a hoe or fork.

Covering in Winter.— Where the winters are severe, with little snow for protection, a slight covering 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
witb 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.

i ore
GENERAL CATALOGUE. 41

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. Ls
To ASCERTAIN THE NUMBER OF PLANTS REQUIRED FOR AN ACRE.

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 rows 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.

LAYER PLANTS.

The plants which we usually furnish are well rooted layers from the open ground. This has been our practice

for over fifty years, and we have never had any reason to think that this mode of growing was not a success.
a PLANTS BY MAIL.

For the convenience of those who cannot be reached by the express companies, we will forward by mail, pre-
paid, layer plants of all the varieties enumerated in this list. At the dozen rate the plants will be mailed at
the prices annexed, without extra charge. At the hundred rate, if sent by mail, 25 cts. additional
per hundred plants, must be remitted for postage. This is an actual outlay for postage. POT
GROWN PLANTS CANNOT BE SENT BY MAIL.

POT GROWN PLANTS.
READY FOR SHIPMENT AFTER JULY 15TH.

Of late this kind of plant has become very popular, and is almost exclusively employed for garden planting. The
failures are few, and much care and labor are avoided. We grow the plants in thumb pots, and when they are well
established and ready to ship, we turn them out of the pots, preserving the ball of earth around the roots and
wrapping it in paper. In this way, during the hottest weather in July and August, plants can be transported safely.
Plants set out in July or August will yield a moderate crop next season. These cannot be sent by
mail, A SEPARAT#Z LIST OF POT GROWN STRAWBERRIES IS ISSUED ANNUALLY IN

JULY. AND WILL BE MAILED FREE TO ALL CUSTOMERS WHOSE NAMES ARE ON OUR

Cumberland—Very large ovate conical, regular and uniform; hand-

pleasant and agreeable; plant vigorous and productive; too soft for
shipping long distances, but valuable for amateur and near market;
next to the Sharpless, this variety has always commanded the highest
price in our market, and is still considered one of the best; season
medium.

Golden Defiance—(P)—Medium to large, roundish, regular; dark
erimson: flesh moderately firm, solid, delicate in texture and good in
quality; plant vigorous and very productive, often 12 to 15 berries on
atruss. One of the best late varieties.

GANDY.

Lovett—Large, round, conical, uniform, seldom ill-shaped, bright crim-
son, quality good. A variety of merit, not early but continuing good
through the season. We regard it as one of the best of the newer kinds.

Parker Earle—A splendid berry; uniformly large, regular, conical with
a short neck; color glossy scarlet crimson; ripens all over; flesh moderately
firm, no hollow core; quality good; flowers perfect; always setting perfect
fruit. Plant very vigorous, healthy and remarkably productive. It is said
to have yielded at the rate of 15,000 quarts peracre. Its robust habit will,
we think, render it capable of enduring extremes of heat and cold, and to
thrive on a great variety of soils. This is one of the most promising varie-
ties introduced recently, and it seems destined to become popular over a
wide area of country. It has done admirably on our grounds, growing vig-
orously and producing a very heavy crop of good fruit. Season medium
to late.

Sharpless—This variety originated in Pennsylvania, and was introduced
by us sixteen years ago. We have fruited it extensively ever since, and still
regard it as one of the very largest and best strawberries in cultivation
Plant very hardy, enduring both heat and cold without injury here. To
secure the best results, we advise “hill culture.’ (See ‘‘ Directions for
Culture.’ )

Shuster’s Gem —(P)—Large to very large, globular, uniform in size and
HAVERLAND. shape, moderately firm, quality good; for home use or near by market.
Plant vigorous and prolific; mid season.

Wilson—Medium to large; dark red; very hardy, vigorous and produc-
tive. The most widely knownand universally successful strawberry grown.
Holds its own wonderfully.

The Sharpless Strawberry, Compared with the “Noble” in England.

Mr. John Watkins of the Pomona Nurseries, Withington, England, says:
‘*T have often wondered why this (Sharpless) strawberry is not more culti-
vated. I have grown it for several years. The following is my experience
with it out of doors: Very early, ripens with Noble; flavor fair, much su-
perior to Noble, a better cropper, but it is not so strong a grower. The fruit
is much larger, rather corrugated, and sometimes growing rather coarse;
in this respect Noble has the decided advantage in shape, but the color of
Sharpless is superior to Noble, Take it all around, if I were selecting a
very Soe strawberry for market, I should give the preference to Sharpless
over Noble.”’

BRIEF SUGGESTIONS TO PLANTERS.

WHAT TO PLANT.

In this and similar climates, where great extremes of temperature are experienced, it is necessary to
employ only the most hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Impressed with the importance of this fact,
and in order that our customers may be spared much disappointment and expense, we have omitted from
our catalogue, as far as possible, everything which is liable to suffer from severe cold.

We have also taken great pains.to secure, both at home and abroad, all valuable hardy material so as
to render our assortment of this class as complete as possible. An examination of the catalogue shows
what an extensive variety of stock is offered, enabling the planter by a judicious use of the same to
accomplish any desired result with perfectly hardy trees, shrubs and plants.

For the convenience of Planters we have grouped the trees under the following heads: Trees remark-
able for their fiowers, Trees of drooping habit, Trees with variegated and colored foliage, Trees with
cut or dissected foliage. The shrubs have been similarly arranged, and parties desiring to make selections
for particular purposes will find this classification useful.

For Parks and Extensive Grounds.—No difficulty can be experienced by any one in mak-
ing selections for this purpose. But we cannot impress 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, Spirza,
Hardy Hydrangea, Japan Quince, Double-flowering Almond, Lilac, Viburnum, Althza, Peony, Phlox
and Japan Anemone, when planted in masses, produce a magnificent effect, need no protection, and
demand little skill or care in their management. What grand masses of bloom can be had throughout
the season by a proper use of the various families! Then the purple and variegated-leaved trees and
shrubs may also be planted in such a manner as to afford a rich and striking contrast.

Groups of flowering trees form superb objects at the blossoming season, and it is strange that Planters
do not employ them more.

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

For Lawns and Smail Places.—Whatever specimens are planted should be of the finest
species, of moderate size, of graceful habits of growth and handsome foliage.

A pendulous tree or one with variegated foliage may be occasionally introduced, and will add to the
beauty of the grounds. Depend mainly upon dwarf shrubs for small places, and in selecting aim at
securing a succession of bloom. Dwarf evergreens are very useful, and in small grounds hardy herba-
ceous border plants can be used with the most satisfactory results ; a proper selection will afford as much
bloom as ordinary bedding plants, and at half the trouble and expense.

WHEN TO PLANT.

Deciduous Trees, Shrubs and Vines can be planted either in Spring or Fall. In localities where the
winters are very severe we recommend Spring planting. Spring is the best time for evergreens generally.

HOW TO PLANT.
Preparation of the Roots.—Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound
wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibres.

Preparation of the Top.—This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a
way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows:

48 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S

Trees with branching heads, should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones,
intended for the frame work of the tree, cut back to within two or three buds of their base.

In cases where there is an abundant root, and small top or few branches, the pruning need be very
light, but where the roots are small and the top heavy, severe pruning will be necessary. These remarks.
are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. LEvergreens seldom require pruning, but Arbor Vite:
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, page 8).

PRUNING.

Pruning, as practiced by some people, has the effect to render trees and shrubs unnatural and inelegant.
We refer to the custom of shearing trees, particularly conifers, into cones, pyramids and other
unnatural shapes. Every tree, shrub and plant has a habit of growth peculiar to itself, and this very
peculiarity is one of its beauties. If we prune all trees into regular shapes we destroy their identity. The
pruning knife, therefore, should be used to assist nature, and handled with judgment and care; to lop off
straggling branches, to thin the head of a tree which has become too dense, and to remove dead wood.
Sometimes it becomes necessary to prune severely to keep a tree from attaining too great size.

Shearing may be practiced on hedges, but never on trees or shrubs,

PRUNING SHRUBS.

Many persons trim and shear them into regular shapes, imagining that regular outline adds to their
effect and beauty. While symmetry and regularity of form are to be admired in a shrub, this quality
should never be gained at the expense of health and natural grace.

Each shrub has peculiarities of habit and foliage, and we should aim to preserve them as far as pos-
sible. Judicious pruning to secure health and vigor is necessary, but trimming all kinds of shrubs into:
one form shows a lack of appreciation for natural beauty, to say the least. Weigelas, Deutzias, Forsy-
thias and Mock Orange, flower on the wood of the preceding year’s growth, hence these shrubs should
not be pruned in winter or spring, but in June, after they have finished flowering, when the old wood
should be shortened. or cut out, thus promoting the growth of the young wood, which is to flower the
following season.

Spirzeas, Lilacs, Altheeas, and Honeysuckles may be trimmed during the winter or early in spring,
but the branches should only be reduced enough to keep them in good shape. The old growth should be
occasionally thinned out and the suckers and root sprouts removed when they appear. The best time,
however, for pruning all shrubs is when they have done flowering. The Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora should be severely cut back and thinned early in spring.

PRUNING EVERGREENS..

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

ORNAMENTAL TREES.

IN FOUR CLASSES.

CLASS I.—A General Descriptive List of Deciduous Trees.
CLASS I1.—A List of Deciduous Weeping or Drooping Trees, described in their respective places in the Catalogue.
CLASS II1.—A List of trees possessing remarkable characteristics of foliage, in three sections—Cut-leaved, Varie-
gated, and Colored, and described in their respective places in the Catalogue.
CLASS 1V.—Coniferz or Evergreens.
In order that planters may be able to form an idea of the size which trees and shrubs attain at maturity, a point
which should always be taken into consideration at the time of planting, so that the specimens may occupy the

_ proper position, we have adopted letters to denote the various classes as follows:

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

B. ce . a $ secondary size, 20 to 40 feet.
C. ior a 4s medium size, 9 to 15 feet.
D. > trees 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 fasnily: as well as of the species or variety, is placed first in Full Faced con-
spicuous type. The English name follows in SMALL CAPITALS. The German and French names of the genus are also
given in SMALL CAPITALs. It is to be hoped that with the aid of the complete index of botanical and English names,
to be found on the last page, no difficulty will be experienced in finding any tree, shrub or plant described in the
Catalogue.

CLASS I1—DECIDUOUS TREES, UPRIGHT AND DROOPING,

Those preceded by a (*) are the most suitable for parks, avenues, streets, etc. They are propagated in large
quantities, and can be furnished at low rates.

form, with perfect heart-shaped leaves of a pure green color, glossy surface above, and grayish green

spreading habit. Leaves bright shining green, broad and sharp-pointed. The fruit resembles an orange.
Valuable, and very extensively used for farm and garden hedges. For price see Hedge Plants.

MAGNOLIA. Maeno.ie, Ger. Macnouier, F7.

Their superior stateliness of form and splendor of growth, the size and richness of their foliage and lavish yield
_of fragrant flowers, all tend to place them in the foremost rank among hardy ornamental trees and shrubs. Their
proper place is on the lawn, where they show to fine advantage in contrast to the green ; or they may be planted
effectively on the borders of lawns, with an evergreen in the background to heighten the contrast. Planted in
groups, they yield to no rival, and their effect in the early spring is grand beyond description, illuminating the
whole landscape and filling the atmosphere with their rich perfume. | 4 i

To insure success in their transplanting, they should be moved in the spring, never in the fall, and the Chinese
varieties at that period when they are coming into bloom, and, consequently, before the leaves have made their
-appearance. Great care should be exercised in their removal, the fibrous roots being preserved as nearly as pos-
sible, and carefully guarded from any exposure to wind or sun. While almost any good soil is sufficient to insure
- their growth, they succeed best in a soil which is warm, rich and ary.

SALIX. Willow. WeErDE, Ger. Save, F7.

The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. Of rapid growth, fine habit, hardy, adapted to a
great variety of soils, and easily- transplanted, they can be used by planters to great advantage. Several sorts are
well known: others have not received the attention they deserve, for example, the Royal Willow, with its silvery
foliage, is a striking tree, and most effective in landscapes; the Laurel-leaved, with handsome, shining, laurel-like
leaves, and bright green bark in winter; the Palm-leaved, with glossy, beautiful leaves, and bright red bark in
winter; the Golden, with bright yellow bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery foliage, are all meritorious.
The ease with which they can Ve transplanted, and the brief time they require to form good sized trees, are strong
arguments in favor of their employment.

ULMUS. Elm. U.mgm, Ger. Orme, ?7.

Many of the Elms are so well kifown that it is unnecessary to refer to their beauty and value for ornamental
planting. But several very desirable kinds fail to receive due recognition, and we therefore invite the attention of
planters to them as follows: Berardi and Vimindlis are unique miniature varieties. The Nettle-leaved has beautiful
and curious leaves. The Monumental is of dwarf, conical habit, novel and distinct. The Variegated-leaved, Pur-
ple-leaved, Pyramidal, Oxoniense and Webbiana, are all choice sorts. Dove is a very erect, rapid growing sort, with
smooth bark and large dark-green leaves; valuable for avenue planting. Belgica, superba and Huntingdon are also
suited to the same purpose. We, of course, grow the American, than which there is no finer tree, on an extensive
scale, for street and park planting.

*U. Americana. AMERICAN WHITE OR WEEPING ELM. B. The noble spreading and drooping tree of our own
forests. 50c. ,

*U. campestris. ENGLISH ELM. B. Anerect, lofty tree, of rapid, compact growth, with smaller and more regu-
larly cut leaves than those of the American, and darker colored bark. The branches project from the trunk
almost at right angles, giving the tree a noble appearance. $1.00.

*var. Belgica. B. A fine variety, of large size, rapid growth, and fine spreading shape. Waluable for street.
planting. $1.00. :
var. Berardi. C. A miniature variety of the Elm. Tree of small size, slender growth, pyramidal habit, with

CLASS IV—CONIFERA. (Evérgreens.)

NoTE. Many fine conifers are entirely too tender to be cultivated successfully at the north, and we have there-
fore dropped them from our list. A few valuable half-hardy evergreens, which can hardly be dispensed with, and
which can be grown when planted in sheltered positions, have been retained.

-and for the edges of borders or groups of trees they are specially adapted. Their
large, brilliant flowers are among the first blossoms in spring, and they appear in
great profusion, covering every branch, branchlet and twig, before the leaves are
developed. Their foliage is bright green and glossy, and retains its color the
-entire summer, which renders the plants very ornamental. Speciai attention is
invited to this plant for ornamental hedges. It is sufficiently thorny to form a
-defense, and at the same time makes one of the most beautiful flowering hedges.

ally spreading and drooping as they acquire age. They produce in June and July superb large trumpet-shaped
_ flowers, of all shades and colors, from pure white to red. In borders and groups of trees they are very effective,
and for margins the variegated-leaved varieties are admirably suited, their gay-colored foliage contrasting finely
_ with the green of other shrubs. They flower after the Lilacs in June.

D. arborea grandiflora. D. A yariety of vigorous habit and erect growth; foliage very large; flowers long
and tube-shaped ; of a sulphur white or pale yellow, changing to pale rose. Flowers about two weeks after

been lacking in some important characteristic. Hortensis nivea, the best and only really white sort, is a

poor grower and difficult to propagate. Other so-called white sorts have flesh-colored flowers; so that the-
introduction of candida supplies a long-felt want. It is of vigorous habit, an erect grower, becoming in
time a large-sized shrub; flowers pure white and produced in great.profusion in June, and the plants con-
tinue to bloom through the summer. even until autumn. 50c.

HYDRANGEA. Horvrensiz, Ger. HypDRANGEER, F7.

The native species are handsome shrubs of medium size, with fine large leaves, generally of a light green color,
and perfectly hardy. The introductions from Japan and China, are particularly interesting and valuable. H. pan-
iculata grandiflora is remarkable in foliage and flower, and being perfectly hardy, is of great value. The other
Japanese varieties, like the H. hortensia, require protection in winter. They should be grown in pots or boxes and
wintered in the cellar, and in summer placed along walks under the shade of trees. H. Otaksa and H. ramulis coc-
cineis are especially adapted for this purpose.

The Syringa is an invaluable shrub. Of vigorous habit, very hardy, with large handsome foliage, and beautiful
white flowers, produced in the greatest profusion at the blossoming season, it merits a prominent place in all col-
lections of shrubbery. Most of the varieties, except those of dwarf habit, form large sized shrubs, twelve to fifteen
feet high. They can of course be kept smaller by pruning. The dwarf sorts do not yield many flowers, but are
such pretty, compact plants as to be very useful where small shrubs are desired. Ali of the varieties flower in
June, after the Weigela. By planting the late flowering sorts, the season may be considerably extended.

Under this heading are embraced some of the most charming early spring flowering shrubs. Prunus triloba, or

appears like one mass of bloom, forming a most beautiful and interesting object, whether planted singly upon the
lawn or in groups. As the Almond and Plum flower at the same time, they can be massed very effectively. Both
are hardy and of fine habit.

CLEMATIS. Virgin’s Bower. WaALDREBE, Ger, CLEMATITE, Fr.

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-growlng 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 liberal supply of water at the roots.

After many years’ experience we have come to the conclusion to grow only a few varieties which have proved
worthy of general cultivation. The leading and best varieties are Jackmanni, Alexandra, Henryi and Sieboldii.

GENERAL CATALOGUE. 109

HEDGE PLANTS.

WHICH MAY BE EMPLOYED

FOR ORNAMENT SHELTER, SCREENS, AND DEFENSE

For these purposes we recommend Evergreens like the American and Siberian Arbor Vite, Norway Spruce,
Austrian and Scotch Pines, and many of the Deciduous and Evergreen shrubs, such as the Japan Quince, Tamariz,
Deutzias, Spirwas, Mahonia, &c., and for defensive hedges, the Honey Locust and Osage Orange.

FOR ORNAMENT.

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

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

For a low, ornamental hedge, the Tom Thumb Arbor Vite is useful.

With careful pruning the Norway Spruce may be kept low and in good shape, and grown in this manner is highly
ornamental. :

The flowering shrubs are ornamental hedge plants par excellence; among them the Japan Quince is particularly
desirable, on account of its good habit and handsome foliage. We are growing it largely for hedges.

FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS.
For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for concealing unsightly objects or views, or for
. boundary lines, we recommend the Norway Spruce and Austrian and Scotch Pines. Their robust habit, rapid, dense
growth, and entire hardiness, are characteristics not easily to be found in other Evergreens.

The American Arbor Viie 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. South of us,
the Osage Orange is in great favor, but it is not hardy enough to be serviceable here.

r 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 being generally set when quite small, should be placed about nine inches apart; larger sized plants will
require more space.

Honey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about nine inches apart.

PRUNING.

Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. Summer pruning may be prac-
ticed on the Arbor Vite should the growth be too rapid.

PAHONIA

Peony. PIrvoing, Fr. :

CLASS |1—PAONIA MOUTAN. (Tree Peonies.)

P. Moutan, the parent species, is a native of China. The varieties are handsome flowering shrubs, attaining
from 6 to 8 feet in height in about ten years, with proper care. The flowers are remarkably striking, of gorgeous
colors, very numerous, and enormous in size, often measuring 6 to 9 inches across, and appearing in May. All are
very effective amongst shrubs, or on the margins of borders. Although hardy, the plants are greatly improved by

a Slight protection in winter.

CLASS Il—HERBACEOUS PAONIES.

It is surprising that so noble a flower, almost rivalling the Rose in brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom,
and the Rhododendron in stately growth, should be so neglected. Amateurs seem to have lost sight of the many
improved varieties introduced within the last few years, and our finest gardens, perfect in other respects, are sin-
gularly deficient in specimens of the newer kinds. The first point in their favor is hardiness. It may be truly said
of them that they are “ hardy as an oak.” In the severest climate the 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. Growers of roses know well that their flowers are obtained
by great vigilance and care. Not so with the Peony, which, when once planted, all is done. Each succeeding year

. adds to their size and beauty. The foliage is rich and glossy and of a beautiful deep green color, thus rendering the

GENERAL CATALOGUE. 111

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
Pzeony may be planted either singly on the lawn orin borders. Where the lawn is extensive a large bed makes a
grand show, surpassing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really a flower for the million. We place them in three
divisions: first, the Oficinalis and its hybrids; second, Paradora. These are European, and bloom from the middle
to the end of May. The third is Chinese, and blooms through June and July. A selection from the three divisions
will give a fine display of flowers during three months. Our collection has been made with great care and includes
the best and most distinct varieties.

SELECT PHLOX.

This, when properly grown, is unquestionably one of the finest autumn fiowers—like the Peony, a fiower for
the million. Itis of vigorous habit, easy culture, and produces in great profusion during a long season, flowers of
fine form and substance, and of bright and varied colors. Just as the Roses are fading, the Phlox puts forth her
first flowers, producing a fine succession of bloom, and prolonging an interesting season at least six weeks. As
regards their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed 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 againin 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
ower tolerably well, but they will not keep thrifty and healthy after that. The old plants should then be lifted
nm the fall, divided and transplanted. But the better plan is to keep up a succession of young plants from cut-
gs by securing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and
foreign production.

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 reeommend 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, both of tender and 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
assistance in making selections our services will be cheerfully given.

We expect to have several acres of Roses in flower during the last three weeks in June and the first two weeks
in July. This will be a fine opportunity for those interested in the Queen of Flowers to study the comparative
merits of the different kinds, and visitors will be cordially welcomed.

Attention is directed to the list of New and Recently Introduced Roses. These have been selected from among
the many kinds offered as the most promising. Varieties which have not been fully tested by us, appear with the
originator’s description. :

For the convenience of our customers we have placed on page 154 an alphabetical list of all the roses described
in this Catalogue.

MANETTI STOCK.

We grow Roses in two ways, viz: on their own roots from cuttings, and budded low on the Manetti. Most of
the tender and climbing sorts are grown from cuttings, the Hybrid Perpetuals, Mosses and Summer Roses are grown
' in both ways. The Manetti stock was obtained many years ago from Como, Italy, by Thomas Rivers, and has
largely superseded the Dog Rose and other stocks. 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 Summer,
and make far stronger plants than if grown on their own roots. Many object to budded Roses on account of the
suckers they sometimes throw out; but if proper attention is paid to the planting, this will rarely be an annoyance.

Buddca Roses should be planted sufficiently deep, so that the junction of the bud with the stock is from two to three
inches below the surface of the earth. We cannot too forcibly direct attention to the above rule.

BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING, Etc.

When to Plant. Tender Roses, and all such as are pot-grown, should be planted in the Spring or Summer in
this or similar climates; the hardy sorts if dormant, can be planted bothin the FallandtheSpring. If the situation
be not too much exposed where the Roses are to be set out, we prefer 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 does the
Rose. The Tea-scented and others that are pot-grown, should not be planted until all danger of Spring frosts are
past. There need be no hurry for these, since Roses that have been grown in pots are sent out with the balls of
earth, and the roots not being disturbed, or only to a slight extent, the plants go right on growing. The plants
should be put in friable, rich soil, and firmly pressed in with the foot, or (if pot-grown plants) with the hands, 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 be more or less pruned when planted; do not neglect this. Asa general rule, the more vigorous the variety
the less it should be pruned. A1ll 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 pruned as soon as their first blossoming is over, in order to induce a free display of flowers in Autumn,

Protection. All of the Tea, Bengal, Noisette, and most of the Bourbon classes need protection if left out during
the Winter in this and similar climates; indeed, 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. These are the bugbears which prevent many from cultivating the Queen of Flowers, but they offer
little discouragement to loyal subjects, for generally it is only the careless and indolent who greatly suffer from
these pests. 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 particularly infest plants in
houses; healthy plants in the garden are but little liable to their attacks. There are numerous recipes for their
destruction, and the cultivator can use those which are most convenient and efficacious.

The vapor of tobacco is not only very effective in destroying insects where it can be confined, as in greenhouses,
but it is less injurious to delicate plants than either the smoke or the liquid. Hence, instead of fumigating green-
houses, it is customary now tostrew the ground under the plants with tobacco stems, which being moistened by
the syringing, creates a vapor, which is destructive to insect life. This method will probably supersede the old way
of fumigating with tobacco smoke, which we have always found up to the present time, the best mode where
appliances can be had for confining the smoke; this, however, is not very convenient for use in dwelling houses,
but we have other excellent remedies which are more practicable. Take four ounces of quassia chips, and boil them
ten minutes in a gallon of soft water; strain off the chips and add four ounces of soft soap, which should be dissolved
in it as it cools, stirring well before using. It may be applied with a clean painter’s brush of moderate or small size,
brushing every leaf and shoot that is infested. After fifteen or twenty minutes have elapsed, the plants should be
washed or syringed with pure water. Another good remedy is the same as above only tobacco stems—say a quarter
of a pound—are used instead of quassia.

In the month of May, or as soon as the leaves have pushed forth, the rose caterpillar makes its appearance; he
can readily be detected, for he glues a leaf or two together to form hisshelter. 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, larvee, and all such as come at a later date than the caterpillar, an occasional syringing,

igorously applied, will prove an excellent preventive. 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 moist-
ened before the hellebore is applied, so that it willremain. The red spider may be generally kept off by keeping the
plants daily syringed with water. When plants are once infested with this dreaded insect, the fumes of sulphur will
alone disperse or destroy them. This application will, of course, cause the foliage to drop off, but it is the only
remedy we know to be efficacious. The red spider very seldom attacks plants in the open air, but confines itself to
the plants under glass.

For the rose bug, hand picking must be resorted to, for, like the red spider, 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 isa good plan to previously sprinkle the plants with water, so that the substance applied
will adhere.

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

See also Page 6.

In case budded plants are ordered, state whether we shall send the same varieties on own roots, in case we can-
not supply them budded. This is necessary where parties ordering have any preference for either mode. When
nothing is said we exercise our best judgment, and if out of budded plants send those on their own roots, and *‘ vice versa.”’
Budded plants, however, cannot pe sent by mail—they are too large; they can only go by express.

Amateurs, in ordering will do well to leave the selections to us so far as possible, but our list is open to all to make
their own selections. Purchasers, however, will please say if they wish us to substitute in case all the varieties
ordered cannot be supplied. In such case we always endeavor to send something better where it is possible, than the
kind called for. We do not substitute without being requested to do so.

Roses by Express. When no directions are given as to what way the plants are to be sent, we always forward by
Express at the purchaser’s cost. The plants which we send in this way (except the new and very scarce varieties) are
one year old buds, or one to two year old plants on own roots, and in the case of hardy sorts, are generally dormant.
They are of course, very much larger and more valuable than those sent by mail, and all who can afford it will do
much better to get their plants in this way. These plants are the only ones suitable for immediate effective results.

Small Roses by Mail. There is a large number of our customers who, living at remote distances from the
Railroad or Express Offices, cannot conveniently receive packages by Express. There is another and larger class,
whose means do not admit of extensive purchases, but who cannot and will not be without flowers, and particularly
without roses. To such we are pleased to offer special inducements in the shape of roses by mail, at half the price
charged for the large plants, thus enabling all to provide themselves with the most beautiful flowers. The plants
are sent post paid at the prices named, but the money must be sent with the order.

The plants sent by mail are grown in two and a half and three inch pots; they are healthy young plants, well
rooted and carefully prepared for mailing.

Note carefully the habit of growth as stated in the description, and you will not be disappointed in the size of
the plants; it would he very unreasonable to expect plants of Eugenie Verdier as large as La Reine, or Xavier Olibo
&s strong as Jacqueminot. We have the very best quality of each kind that it is possible to grow.

ARRANGEMENT.

We divide the Rose Department of the Catalogue into two divisions.

Division 1. Summer Roses, or those which bloom in June and July only. This includes the Ayrshire,
Banksia, Prairie, Austrian, Damask, French, Provence, Hybrid China or Gallica, and Moss classes.

DIVISION 2. Perpetual or Autumnal Roses, or those which bloom more than once in one season; many of
them bloom at intervals from May to November, notably the Teas, Hybrid Teas and some of the Bourbons. This
division includes the Bourbon, Bengal, Noisette, Tea, Perpetual Moss, Polyantha, Hybrid Tea, Hybrid Perpetual,
Hybrid Noisette and Rugosa classes.

In each class some superior varieties for general cultivation will be found printed in CAPITALS. These are
commended to inexperienced amateurs, as being of good constitution and the most desirable in limited collections.

Whenever known, we give the raiser’s name and the year when the variety was sent out.

ABBREVIATIONS USED, DESCRIBING THE HABIT OF GROWTH.

Vig.—For vigorous, being those varieties which are most rampant in growth and produce long, strong shoots,

Free.—Varieties which rank next to the above in growth. '

Mod.—Moderate; these make a fair, compact growth, but less strong than the preceding.

Dwf.—Dwart; these are the most delicate or slow growing sorts. Among hardy Roses, those marked duwf.
should almost invariably be budded.

6th.—Peculiarities of foliage, thorns, number of leaflets, fragrance, etc.

It is hoped that the above will make intelligible the terms used to describe the different varieties.

PRICES OF ROSHES.

LARGE PLANTS BY EXPRESS.

Single plants, the price set after each variety.

VARIETIES PRICED AT 50 ets, EACH—$4 per doz., $25 per 100.

All large planters who have not bought of us are urged to visit our grounds and see the quality of the plants we
offer; we are sure they will be convinced of the superiority of our stock, and that the best are the cheapest.

Particular attention is called to the care we have always exercised in keeping our stock true to name, and, also
that with a very few exceptions, separately noted, we grow those sorts only that are thoroughly distinct, and of
healthy habit. Plants that are false to name, or are constitutionally of weak growth and sickly habit, are dear at
any price.

SMALL PLANTS BY MAIL.

Grown in 2} and 3-inch pots will be supplied at half the price asked for the larger plants.

VARIETIES THAT CANNOT BE SENT BY MAIL.

There are a number of varieties which propagate from cuttings with so much difficulty, some of them utterly
refusing to grow, that to save our customers disappointment, we have found it necessary to append a list of all
such. Henceforth, these varieties can only be obtained as budded plants sent by express; we have none to send by
mail, and all parties desiring plants by mail will please consult this list before sending thejr order.

mer VyiSt@nN -l--SUMMER ROSES.

BLOOMING IN JUNE AND JULY.

CLASS |—CLIMBING OR SARMENTOUS ROSES.

Ayrshire Roses (Rosa arvensis hybrida).

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; they are somewhat less hardy and
less valuable than the Hybrid Climbing and Prairie Roses.

Bennett’s Seedling, vig. (Bennett, 1340.) Pure white double flowers of medium size. Onownroots. 50c.

Banksia Roses (Rosa Banksic).

Most of the varieties in this class have small white flowers, resembling double cherry blossoms. The wood is
very smooth, slender, and of rapid growth, the foliage quite small. Not being hardy, they have no great value in
the North except for culture in the greenhouse, but in the Southern States they form a very desirable group.
White Banksia, vig. Pure white; small, full flower; violet scented. Onownroots. 50c.

Yellow Banksia, vig. Clear yellow; small double flowers. On own roots. d0c.

Prairie Roses (Rosa rubifolia).

These are much the most valuable of all the non-remontant climbers. The foliage is rougn, large, with five
leaflets generally of a dark color; for rapidity of growth they equal the Ayrshires, and surpass all climbers in hardi-
ness. The flowers are produced in large clusters late in the season when other Summer Roses are gone. When it is
desired to cov2r walls, unsightly buildings, etc., with Roses, none will be found to do the work so efficiently as
varieties of the Prairie Rose.

Anna Maria, vig. (Samuel Feast, 1342.) Blush; cluster large; has few thorns. On own roots. 50c.

BALTIMORE BELLE, vig. (Samuel Feast, 13843.) Pale blush, becoming nearly white; compact and fine. On
own roots. 40c.

Gem of the Prairies, free. (Adolphus Burgess, 1865.) Red, occasionally blotched with white; a supposed cross
between Queen of the Prairies and Mme. Laffay. Large, flat flowers; the only variety in the class which is fra-
grant. Budded plants. 50c.

Mrs. Hovey, vig. (Joshua Pierce, 1850.) Pale, delicate blush, becoming almost white; resembles Baltimore Belle.
On own roots. 450c. ‘

QUEEN OF THE PRAIRIES, vig. (Samuel Feast, 1842.) Bright rosy red, frequently with white stripe. Foliage
large and quite deeply serrated. On ownroots. 40c.

Triumphant, vig. (Joshua Pierce, 1850.) White, tinted with flesh; double and compact; distinct. Seven leafiets
are not uncommon. Onownroots. 4d0c.

CLASS |II.—AUSTRIAN OR YELLOW ROSES.

(Rosea lutea.)

These require careful pruning. Remove weakly wood altogether, and only shorten a few inches the shoots left
for flowering. If pruned close they will not bloom, as the flowers are produced from the terminal shoots of the old
wood. They are not grown on own roots, but only as budded plants.

Harrison’s Yellow, free. (Harrison, 1830.) Golden yellow ; medium size; semi-double. A freer bloomer than
Persian. Budded plants. 50c.

PERSIAN YELLOW, free. (Willock, 1830.) Bright yellow, small, nearly full. It is desirable to grow more than
one plant, and by pruning one this year in the usual way, and the other plant the next year, annual crops of
flowers may be had. Budded plants. 50c.

CLASS |II.—MOSS ROSES.

(Ltosa centifolia muscosa.)

This is a favorite class with every one, on account of the beautiful buds, which, for bouquets and cut flowers,
are invaluable,

They are subject, as a class, to mildew, and require close pruning and high culture. They amply repay careful
attention by the increased size and beauty of the flowers. They are all very hardy. The foliage is generally some-
what crimpled, and has mostly seven leaflets.

The charm of a Moss Rose is the bud. Such kinds as the Common, Gracilis and Crested, with graceful buds, are
especially recommended. Princess Adelaide is good both in bud and flower, and is grown upon its own roots. The
other varieties are difficult to propagate, and are grown as budded plants.

Capt. John Ingram, free. (Laffay, 1876.) Purplish crimson. Budded plants. 50c.

Cheveral, vig. (Moreau-Robert, 1887.) Large, full, very double ; rich bronze red changing to dark purplish crimson;
fragrant. Budded plants. 50c.

Common Moss, free. Pale rose, very beautiful buds. A vreatfavorite. Budded plants. 50c.

Comtesse de Murinais, vig. (Vibert, 1843.) White, tinged with flesh. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

CRESTED MOSS, free. (Vibert, 1827.) Deep pink colored buds, surrounded with a mossy fringe and crest: free
from mildew. A fragrant, very beautiful rose. Budded plants. 50c.

134 | ELLWANGER & BARRY’S

~

GRACILIS, free. Deep pink buds, surrounded with delicate fringe-like moss. The most beautiful of all the Moss
Roses. Budded plants. 50c.

Laneii, mod. (Laffay, 1854.) Red; good foliage with five leaflets; not subject to mildew. Budded plants. 50c.

Little Gem, dwf. (W. Paul, 1880.) A miniature Moss Rose, forming compact bushes densely covered with small
double crimson flowers, beautifully mossed. Budded plants. 50c.

Madame Moreau, vig. (Moreau-Robert, 1872.) An upright, compact grower, well formed; bud and flower clear
shade of rose; fragrant and free bloomer. Budded plants. 50c.

Mousseline, vig. (Moreau-Robert, 1881.) White, lightly marked with rose, changing to pure white. A good
grower. Budded plants. 50c.

PRINCESS ADELAIDE, vig. (Laffay, 1845.) Pale rose, of medium size and good form. Foliage often blotched
or variegated. Good in bud and flower. Do not prune this variety severely. On ownroots. 50c.

WHITE BATH, mod. (Salter.) White, sometimes tinged with flesh; attractive in bud and open flower. The best
White Moss. Budded plants. 50c.

CLASS IV.—MISCELLANEOUS ROSES.

_ In this class we place all the varieties of Summer Roses grown by us, that are not described in the three preced-
ing classes. Many of the groups of Summer Roses, by hybridization, are greatly intermixed; in some classes but
one or two varieties are considered worth growing; on this account we see no use in a catalogue for a multitude of
divisions, and therefore place them all in one class.

Blanchefieur, free. (Vibert, 1846.) White, tinged with flesh; medium size, flat; very fragrant and good. Blooms
in great profusion very early in the season. A valuable garden rose. Budded plants. 0c.

Centifolia, Cabbage or Common Provence, free. Rose color; large size, globular form; very fragrant. A-
superb variety. Budded plants. 50c.

Charles Lawson, vig. (Lawson, 1853.) Rose color; large, full flowers, fragrant. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

Chenedolle, vig, (Thierry.) Bright red, large and double; shoots very spiny. Budded plants. 50c.

Coupe d’ Hebe, vig. (Laffay, 1840.) Deep pink; moderately large, cupped shaped flowers; seven leaflets. <A fine
Rose. Budded plants. 50c.

Dawson. A true hybrid obtained by Mr. Jackson Dawson of the Arnold Arboretum, by crossing the rosa multiflora
with the well known Hybrid Perpetual General Jacqueminot, the latter being its pollen parent; the result
is a Vigorous and hardy plant with a tendency to climb high. The spines and foliage are like those of the
pollen parent, but the flowers are clustered like those of the Rosa Multiflora. They are quite full, of a deep
pink color and very fragrant. Own roots. $1.00.

Madame Hardy, vig. (Hardy, 1882.) White, large, very full, flat form; highly fragrant. Budded plants 50c.

Madame Lacharme, dwf. (Lacharme, 1872.) From Jules Margottin and Sombrewil. White, slightly shaded with
pink; medium size; globular, full flowers. The habit is bushy; small, crimpled foliage; quite hardy. Budded
plants. 50c.

MADAME PLANTIER, free. (Plantier, 1835.) Pure white,above medium size; full. Produced in great abund-
ance early in the season. Foliage rather small, seven leaflets. One of the best white roses for hedges and for
massing in groups. Budded and on own roots. 50c. ry

Madame Zoetman, mod. or free. Delicate flesh, changing to white; large, very full, flat form. Budded plants. 50c.

MAGNA CHARTA, vig. (W. Paul, 1876.) Pink, suffused with carmine; full globular. Foliage and wood light

green, with numerous dark spines. A fragrant, excellent Rose. Valuable for forcing. Budded and ou own

roots. 650c.

Gillet Flammande, free. (Vibert, 1815.) White, striped with rose, like a variegated Carnation; medium sized
double flowers. Budded plants. 50c.

Paul Verdier, vig. (C. Verdier, 1866.) Carmine red; large, well built flowers. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

Stanwell Perpetual, mod. (Lee.) Blush, medium size; double, delicately scented; foliage very small. A hybrid
which blooms in the autumn. Blossoms very early inSpring. Budded plants. 50c.

Wichuraiana. A distinct and valuable variety from Japan; it is a low trailing species, its stems creeping on the
earth almost as closely asthe Ivy. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion in clusters on the end
of every branch, after the June roses are past, from the first week in July throughout the month. They are
pure white, 114 to 2 inches across, with yellow stamens, and have the strong fragrance of the Banksia rose. It
is quite hardy, with the exception of the latest immature growth, which may be cut back to some extent.
This variety has proved valuable as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for use in cemeteries. 50c.

These are mostly of moderate growth, and though not fragrant are very appropriate and beautiful for beds on
a lawn, and for pot culture in the house. The foliage iS in five leaflets, rather small They bloom all Summer and
Autumn in the open ground; but are more tender than any other class except the Teas. This class is admirably

CLASS |IIl—BOURBON ROSES.

(Rosa Bourboniana.)
ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.

These are not quite hardy, but a very slight protection suffices them. Those of moderate growth require close
pruning. They are continual bloomers, mostly of rapid growth, with rich, luxuriant foliage, and are the most
beautiful in the Autumn. The flowers for the most part are produced in clusters, and are generally of light color,
well shaped and somewhat fragrant. The moderate growers are mostly suitable for low beds onthe lawn. Owing
to hybridization with other classes, the varieties differ very greatly in their characteristics.

and full. with rich foliage. A superbrose. 50c.

CLASS IIl—NOISETTE OR CHAMPNEY ROSES.

(Rosa moschata hybrida.)
ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS.

~ phe Noisette Rose is a product of America, and obtains its name from Phillipe Noisette, a florist of Charleston, South
arolina.

John Champney, of Charleston, from the seed of the White Musk Rose, fertilized by the Blush China, raised a variety
which was called Champney’s Pink Cluster. A few years after this, Phillippe Noisette, from the seed of Champney’s
Pink Cluster, raised the Blush Noisette, and this he sent to his brother, Louis Noisette, of Paris, under the name of Noi-
sette Rose. The true name, therefore, for thi- class, should be the Champney, but the change cannot now be made.

The Group is naturally of vigorous growth, nearly hardy, and produces large clusters of flowers: but, through
hybridization with the Tea section, the original characteristics have, in part, disappeared. The varieties now generally
grown are less hardy, and have partially lost the clustering tendency; but the flowers have much more substance and
are far more beautilul. As they now exist, they are valuable as Sarmentous or Pillar Roses in sheltered positions, and
particularly so under glass. Nothing can be finer than a wail covered with Lamarque or Cloth of Gold. The leaflets are
five to seven in number.

Cloth of Gold, or Chromatella, free. (Coquereau, 1843.) Raisedfrom Lamarque. Deep yellow center, with sulphur
edges; large doubie flowers. A magnificent variety but difficult to grow. Prune sparingly. 50c.

LAMAROUE, vig. (Marechal, 1830.) White with sulphur centre; flowers in clusters; generally seven leaflets, A mag-
nificent climbing rose under glass. 50c.

MARECHAL NIEL, free. (Pradel, 1864) Said to be a seedling from Isabella Gray. Deep yellow; very large; very
full; globular; highly scented. It is of delicate constitution and requires careful treatment; it should not be se-
verely pruned. The finest of all Yellow Roses. 50c.

Solfaterre, vig. (Boyeau, 1843.) syn. Augusta. Raised from Lamarque. Sulphur yellow, large, full, slightly

fragrant. 50c.
CLASS IV.—TEA ROSES.

(Rosa Indica odorata.)

ALL ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS,

The Tea Rose may well be taken as a synonym for all thatis delicately beautsful. What refinement of color, what
subdued yet powerful fagrance dothey possess! They may justly be called the sweetest of all roses. ‘I'he flewers, mauy
of them, are large and very delicate in their shades of colors, such as white, straw, salmon and various tints of rose com-
biaed with these. While as a rule they are inferior tothe Hybrid Perpetuals in brilliancy of color and fulness of flower,
the distinction between varieties is equally marked, and for bouquets and cut-flowers they greatly excel all other classes.
Like other tender Roses their flowers improve iu quality as the season advances, and reach perfection in Autumn. In
judging the merits of a Tea Rose we do not always consider fulness of flowers a requisite. A Hybrid Perpetual is nothing
if not at least moderately full, but some of our most valued Teas have but very few petals, and are comparatively single.

136 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S

Such are Bon Silene, Isabella Sprunt, Safrano, etc. All these have exquisitely formed buds, and are therefore prized as
invaluable. The Teas are more tender than any of the other classes, and need a little more care in their protection. We
have rejected all varieties that are of feeble growth (excepting Nipietos) and unhealthy habit, retaining only such as
combine beauty of flower with good constitution.

BON SILENE OR SILENE, free. (Hardy, 1839.) Rosy carmine, shaded with salmon; fragrant and very free-flow-
ering. Valuable forthe buds. 50c.

BRIDE, free. (J. N. May, 1885.) A sport from Catharine Mermet. Pure white, large, fine form, very fragrant, free
bloomer, admirably adapted for forcing. 50c.

Bridesmaid, mod. (Moore, 1892.) A new sort which has proved a valuable acquisition; it isa sport of Mermet and is
similar to that admirable variety in every respect, save in color, it being a deeper and clearer pink. There is no
question as to the value of this introduction, and we predict for it wide-spread popularity, especially forforcing. 50c.

CATHARINE MERMET, mod. (G@uillot-fils, 1869.) Bright flesh color, with the same jeculiar silvery lustre pos-
sessed by La France; large, full, and of beautiful form; when the flowers expand they yield a delightful perfume;
decidedly one of the finest Teas; cultivated extensively by- florists for cut flowers. 50c.

Climbing Perle des Jardins, (J. Henderson, 1890.) A sport from the well known variety. Identical with the parent
except in growth, the sport being of vigorous climbing habit. 50c.

Comtesse Riza du Pare, free. (Schwartz, 1876.) Raised from Comtesse de Labarthe. Bronzed rose, with a carmine
tint; flowers of medium size, moderately full, highly perfumed. One of the best under glass. A shy bloomer
when bedded out. 50c.

Coquette de Lyon, free or vig. (Ducher, 1870.) Pale yellow, medium or small size; the most productive and one of
the most valuable bedding sorts of all the Teas. 50c.

Duchesse de Brabant, vig. (Bernede, 1857.) Syn. Comtesse de Labarthe. Light carmine, tinged with violet. 50c.

Empress (Kaiserin) Augusta Victoria, vig. (Lambert and Reiter, 1891.) Anextra fine white variety faintly blended
with cream color; very large, full and double, almost perfect in form and it continues beautiful even when fully
expanded. Its fragrance is a combination of tea and magnolia, and is very delightful and distinct from that of any
other variety. Beautiful glossy foliage; a vigorous grower and very free fiowering, blooming at every shoot. Will
undoubtedly prove very valuable for forcing. 50c.

Etoile de Lyon, free. (G@uillot, 1881.) Ofthe same form, size and fulness as Perle des Jardins, but is-of a lighter yel-
low, without salmon—more the shade of Coquette de Lyon, and is of better habit, 50c.

Francisca Kruger, vig. (Nabonnand, 1879.) Coppery yellow; shaded with peach, large and full. 50c.

Gloire de Dijon, vig. (Jacotot, 1853.) Color a combination of salmon, orange and buff; flowers very large, and of
good globular form; hardy. 50c.

Golden Gate, vig. (Dingee & Conard Co., 1891.) The flowers are extra large, full, nicely formed, of excellent substance
and fragrance. The budsare long and most admirably formed. The color is creamy white tinged with flesh. Pet-
als are large and broad, and the flower when ina half open condition, or when fully developed, is most beautiful in
every respect. Another important qualification is the length of time that it continuesin perfection—it is quite re-
markable in this respect. The plant is vigorous and a profuse bloomer, and taken allin all we consider it a most
promising new variety. 50c.

Homer, vig. (Robert, 1859.) Salmonrose, often richly mottled; a free bloomer; moderately hardy; beautiful buds,
varying in color. but always good; best in the open air. A charming sort. 50c,

bud as well as when fully developed; not much scent. 50c.

ful Rose, but not fragrant. 50c.

yellow; edge of petals often lined with rose; flowers large and full: in every way a most charming sort. Highly
commended. 50c.

NIPHETOS, dwf. (Bougere, 1844.) White, sometimes faintly tinged with pale yellow; long pointed buds; the petals thick
and durable. A very beautiful variety under glass; it is not suited for growing in open air. 50c.

free growing, profuse flowering; very popular for winter forcing. 50c.

fine form; stiff shoots or stems. and very free flowering. The most popular yellow Rose for forcing. 50c.

vigorous, healthy grower. 50c.

GENERAL CATALOGUE. 137

Reine Marie Henriette, vig. (4. Levet, 1873.) A seedling from Mme. Berard, fertilized by Gen. Jacqueminot.
Flowers large, full; color beautiful cherry-red, a pure shade; flowers somewhat scented. An extra fine climbing
variety. 50c.

SAFRANO, free. ‘Beaureguard, 1849.) Saffron and apricot, a free bloomer. One of the oldest varieties, and in the
bud state scarcely tobe surpassed. 0c.

Sombreuil, vig. (Robert & Moreau, 1851.) Creamy white, tintea with rose; very large; quite free from mildew and
one of the hardiest. A splendid sort for growing out of doors. 50c.

SUNSET, mod. (P. Henderson, 1884.) A sport from Perle des Jardins. Identical in every respect with that variety
except that its color, instead of bring a canary yellow, is of arich tawny shade of saffron and orange, similar: but

- deeper than Safrano or Mme. Falcot. In size, vigor and productiveness it is in all respects the same as the variety
from which it sprung. 50c.

Suzanne Blanchet, vig. (Nabonnand. 1886.) Rose tinted with flesh color; large and of fine form; very fragrant. 50c.

CLASS V.—HYBRID TEA ROSES.

(Rosa Indica odorata hybrida.)

This is a group, flowering as profusely as the Monthly Roses, produced from crossing Teas with Hybrid Perpetuals.
La France, the oidest variety of the class, is probably more highly prized by connoiseurs than any other Rose, and
though none of the new varieties in this division have proved her equal, there will yet be found, we hope, some worthy
companions among them.
Augustine Guinoiseau, vig. (Guinoiseau, 1889.) Flowers white, slightly tinted with flesh. Sometimes called White
La France. Valuable for forcing. Onownroots. d0c. .

DUCHESS OF ALBANY, vig. (W. Paul & Son, 1883.) A sport from the well known and popular La France. While
it resembles its parent in several respects, it is quite distinct in color, being of a rich, deep, even pink tint, and the
shape is more finished; it is equally vigorous, free blooming and fragrant. One of the most important of recent
acquisitions for growing in the open air or for forcing. Budded and onown roots. 50c.

LA FRANCE, mod. or free. (Guillot-jils, 1867.) Raised f#om seed of a Tea Rose. Delicate silvery rose, changing to
silvery pink; very large, full, of fine globular form; a most constant bloomer. The sweetest and most useful of all,
Roses; none can surpass the delicacy of its coloring. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

Madame Caroline Testout, vig. (Pernet Ducher, 1890) A beautiful bright, yet clear pink rose, and very much
resembles La France, from which it undoubtedly originated. It is of more sturdy habit, however, and exceedingly
floriferous, and the individual blooms are often much larger than those of La France. It maintains its beautiful
color at all seasons; handsome foliage: stem stout, fragrance very delicate. 50c.

METEOR, vig. (Bennett, 1887.) Rich, dark, velvety crimson, retaining its color well; a constant bloomer; healthy,
with no tendency to mildew; admirable for forcing. On own roots. 50c.

Pink Rover, vig. (W. Paul & Son, 1890.) Flowers very pale pink, deeper in the center, large, full and expanded;
exceedingly sweet; buds long, clean and handsome. Of semi-climbing habit. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

Souvenir of Wootton, vig. (Cook,1888.) A red Hybrid Teafrom seed of Bon Silene fertilized with Louis Van Houtte;

plant vigorous with fine foliage; free blooming; buds of good size, on strong shoots; of a rich red color and
extremely fragrant. If the buds were longer, this would be a very valuable variety for forcing. On own roots. 50c.

William F. Bennett, vig. (Bennett, 1885.) Beautiful glowing crimson, similar to Gen. Jacqueminot, with a bud simi-
lar to Niphetos; very fragrant: a very free bloomer, but only a moderate grower. Onownroots. 75c.

CLASS VI.—POLYANTHA ROSES.

(Rosa Polyantha. )
ALL ON OWN ROOTS.

This is an interesting group from Japan. The foliage and flowers are both very small, the latter being produced in
panicles. The original varieties are non-remontant, but what we offer are crosses or hybrids, natural or artificial,
detween the single flowered Polyantha and varieties of other classes, Teas, etc. They are ever biooming, of slender
growth, produce extremely beautiful little flowers and are quite as hardy as the Hybrid Noisettes and Hybrid Teas.
Their character of blossoming in panicied clusters, gives them a distinctive interest, and they are much esteemed. As an
edging for a bed of monthly roses they are very effective and useful. We are greatly pleased with them, and strongly
recommend them to all devotees of the Rose.

CECILE BRUNNER, mod* (Mme. Ducher, 1880.) A hybrid from Polyantha simplex fertilized by a Tea. Salmon
pink, with deep salmon center; very small, full, delicately scented; admirable in bud and open flower. An exquis-
ite miniature rose for floral work. Highly commended. 50c.

CLOTHILDE SOUPERT, vig. (Soupert & Notting, 1890.) Medium size; very double and beautifully imbricated like
an aster; produced in clusters; pearly white, with rosy lake centers, liable to vary, producing often red and white
flowers on same plant. Valuable for florists for designs, or as a market pot plant, being a remarkably free and
constant bloomer, and of easy culture. One of the most valuable roses of recent introduction. (See cut.) 50ce.

Etoile @’Or, dwf. (Dubreuil, 1889.) Flowers medium size; citron yellow in the center, shading to pale chrome yellow;
very free flowering and pretty. An acquisition. 50c.

Little Pet, vig. Small white flowers; very free flowering. 50c.

PAQUERETTE, free. (Guillot, 1875.) This is the oldest of the white varieties. Pure white, about one inch in diame-
ter, flowering in panicles of from five to forty blooms, full, prettily formed, recalling blossoms of the double flower-
ing cherry. In flower continuously from June to November. A roseforthe million. 50c.

PoLYANTHA ROSE.—CLOTHILDE SoOUPERT (Natural Size.)

CLASS VII—HYBRID CLIMBING ROSES.

(Rosa hybrida scandens. )

These are of modern origin, coming from various sources; many of them are sports from varieties of Remontant
Roses. It promises to be a valuable and interesting group. None of them make growth enough to cover Jarge buildings,
but for trellis or pillar work they are very desirable.

Climbing Bessie Johnson, vig. (G. Paul, 1878.) Of the Jules Margottin type. Blush, highly scented. A very excel-
lent Pillar Rose. Budded plants. 50c.

CLIMBING JULES MARGOTTIN, vig. (Cranston, 1875.) Carmine rose, fine in open flower and in bud; the best of
all the ciimbing sports. It may be grown either as a Pillar Rose, or by pruning, kept in bush form; it should be in 4
every collection. Budded and on own roots. 50c.

CLIMBING VICTOR VERDIER, free. (G Paul, 1871.) Carmine rose. Onownroots. 50ce.

Princess Louise Victoria, vig. (Knight, 1872.) Soft salmon pink; of medium size, of good semi-globular form, not.
fragrant. Wood rather smooth, foliage dark and handsome. A very beautiful rose. Budded plants. 50c.

CLASS VIII—PERPETUAL MOSS ROSES.

(Rosa centifolia mus-osa.)

These have the same characteristics as the other Moss Roses, except that they flowerin Autumn. A great many so-
called Perpetual Roses have been sent out, but those which we offer are the only ones. in our opinion, that are worth
growing. None of these give buds that are equal in quality to some of the Summer varieties, but they come at a time of
the year when the others are not to be had, and are therefore useful.

GENERAL CATALOGUE. 139

BLANCHE MOREAU, vig. (Moreau-Robert, 1880.) Pure white, large, full, and of perfect form; the buds and flowers
produced in clusters, and freely furnished with a deep green moss. A valuable variety. Budded and on

Salet, free or vig. (Lacharme, 1854.) Light rose, large, full; pretty in bud. Budded plants. 50c.

CLASS IX.—HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES.

(Rosa Noisettiana hybrida.)

This is a modern group of considerable importance, obtained chiefly from crosses between Remontant. Bourbon and
Noisette Roses. They generally flower in small clusters, and bloom freely throughout the year. The flowers are mostly
white, and though small are generally of goodform. They are of about the same hardiness as the Bourbons and Hybrid
Teas, requiring a little more care in their protection than the Hybrid Perpetuals. Eliza Boelle and Mme, Noman are the
most beautiful, but are also the poorest growers. Itis a class quite subject to mildew.

COQUETTE DES ALPES, vig. or free. (Lacharme, 1867.) White, slightly shaded with carmine; medium size: form
semi-cupped; wood long-jointed; larger flowers than the others. Thestrongest grower of the entire class. Bud-
ded and on own roots. dUc.

medium size, somewhat flat, but full and very pretty; growth more bushy and symmetrical than any of the others.

form. Anexquisiterose. Budded plants. S0c.

Madame Noman, duf. (Guillot-pere, 1867.) White, sometimes with shaded center; medium size; full, globular, A
rose of exquisite beauty. Budded plants. 50c.

CLASS X.—HYBRID REMONTANT OR HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES.

(Rosa damascena hybrida.)

This class thrives the bestinarich soil. The pruning should be regulated by the habit of growth, the weak shoots
closely cut in, those which are vigorous left longer. Most of the varieties are fragrant: some of them, like Alfred
Colomb, Louis Van Houtte, Mme. Victor Verdier, etc., are most deliciously perfumed.

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

Abel Carriere, mod. (E. Verdier, 1875.) Velvety crimson, with fiery center. Of better form and finish than most of

the dark sorts. Shy in autumn. Budded plants. 50c.

Abel Grand, free. (Damaizin, 1865.) Silvery pink, sometimes glossy rose; large, full, fragrant; valuable in the
autumn. Budded plants. 50c.

ded and on own roots. 50c.

crimson, very velvety and rich, but fading quickly ; large, full and beautifully formed. Foliage and wood light
