BARRY. 



REFERENCE, i. Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, N. Y., Catalogue, 1895. 



Resembles the Greening type of apples in color and in the acidity 

 of the flesh. 



The Barry originated about 1880, in the nurseries of Ellwanger & 

 Barry, Rochester, N. Y., and has been recently introduced by that 

 firm after having been thoroughly tested by them. It has their 

 recommendation as a novelty of sterling merit, and one which they 

 believe will prove valuable for commercial orchards (i).
