ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 



Such are Bon Silene, Isabella Sprunt. Saf rano, 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. W e 

 have rejected all varieties that are of feeble growth (excepting Niphetos) and unhealthy habit, retaining only such as 

 combine beauty of flower with good constitution. 



BON SILENE OK SILENE, free. (Hardy, 1839.) Rosy carmine, shaded with salmon; fragrant and very free-flow- 

 ering. Valuable for the 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 is a 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 for forcing. 50c. 



CATHARINE MERMET, mod. (Guillot-fils, 1869.) Bright flesh color, with the same \ eculiar 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. 



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



Empress (Kaiserin) Augusta Victoria, vig. (Lambert and Reiter, 1891.) An extra 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 flowering, blooming at every shoot. Will 

 undoubtedly prove very valuable for forcing. 50c. 



Etoile de Lyon, free. (Ouillot, 1881.) Of the 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 buds are long and most admirably formed. The color is creamy white tinged with flesh. Pet- 

 als are large and broad, and the flower when in a half open condition, or when fully developed, is most beautiful in 

 every respect. Another important qualification is the length of time that it continues in perfection — it is quite re- 

 markable in this respect. The plant is vigorous and a profuse bloomer, and taken all in all we consider it a most 

 promising new variety. 50c. 



Homer, vig. (Robert, 1859.) Salmon rose, 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. 

 Isabella Sprunt, free. (Rev. James M. Sprunt, 1865). Sulphur yellow; very beautiful in the bud. A sport from 



Safrano, which variety it greatly resembles in every particular save the color of the flower. 50c. 

 La Princesse Vera, free or vig. (Nabonnand, 1878.) Flesh, bordered with coppery rose; large, full; very handsome in 



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

 Letty Coles, free. (Keynes, 1875.) Rose-colored, large, full, globular. A fine variety. 50c. 

 Ma Capucine, mod. (Levet, 1871.) Copper color; pretty and distinct. Valuable for forcing. 50c. 



Madame Bravy, mod. (Guillot of Pont Cherin, 18^8: sent out by Guillot pere, of Lyons.) Syn. Alba rosea. Mme. 



Sertat. Creamy-white, large, full, of very symmetrical form and delicate fragrance. 50c. 

 Madame Cusin, vig. (Guillot-fils, 1881.) Violet rose, tinged with yellow, fine form. A favorite Rose in the New York 



market. 50c. 



MADAME DE "WATTEVILLE, vig. (Guillot-fils, 1884.) Salmon white, each petal borderedwith bright rose like a 



tulip; buds long, fragrant. 50c. 

 MADAME HOSTE, vig. (Guillot, 1887.) Large, finely formed flowers on stout stems; color varies from straw white 



to canary yellow; vigorous and most abundant bloomer; forces well. Already has taken a prominent place among 



first-class varieties. 50c. 



Madame Lambard, free. (Lacharme, 1877.) Rosy salmon, but somewhat variable in color; large, full, very distinct 

 and beautiful. 50c. 



Marie Guillot, mod. (Guillot-fils, 1874.) White, tinted with pale yellow; large, full and of fine shape. A most beauti- 

 ful Rose, but not fragrant. 50c. 



Marie Van Houtte, free. (Ducher, 1871.) From Madame de Tartas and Madame Falcot. White, slightly tinged with 

 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 gro%ving in open air. 50c. 

 PAPA GONTIER, vig. (Nabonnand, 1883.) Rose shaded yellow, reverse of petals crimson; large, semi-double, fragrant, 



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

 PERLE DES JARDINS, free. (Levet, 1874.) A beautiful straw-color, sometimes deep canary; very large, full, and of 



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

 Queen, Dig. (Dingee & Conard Co., 1890.) Medium size, pure white and fragrant. Flowers freely and abundantly; a 



vigorous, healthy grower. 50c.
