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. \\ e 



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



combine beauty of tlower with good constitution. 



BON SILENE OK StLENE, free. (Hardy, 1^9.) Rosy carmine, shaded with salmon ; fragrant and very free-flow- 

 ering. Valuable for the buds. 50c. 



BRIDE, free. (J. lY. 2Ia!/, 18S5.) A sport from Catharine Mermet. Pure white, large, fine form, very fragrant, free 

 bloomer, admirably adapted for forcing. 50c. 



Bridesmaid, mod. (J/oore, 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 ]\IEK>IET, mod. (GuiUot-fils, 18G9.) Bright flesh color, with the same j 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, /ree. (ScAicarf 2, 1876.) Yia.ised ivovciComt esse de Labar the. 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 J^y on, free orvig. (Ducher, 1S~0.) Pale yellow, medium or small size; the most productive and one of 

 the most valuable bedding sorts of all the Teas. 50c. 



Ducliesse de Brabant, vig. {Bernede, 18.57.) Syn. Cointesse de L.abartlie. Light carmine, tinged with violet. 50c. 



Empres.s (Kai.serin) Augusta Victoria, vig. {Lambert and Re iter, 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 ver}^ free flowering, blouming at every shoot. Will 

 undoubtedly prove very valuable for forcing, 50c. 



Etoile de L.yon, free. (Guillot, 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 Coguef^e de Lyon, and is of better habit. 50c. 



Francisca Kruger, utgr. (iYa6cm,na?id, 1879.) Coppery yellow; shaded with peach, large and full. 50c, 



Gloire de Dijon, vig. (Jacotot, 185S.) Color a combination of salmon, orange and buff; flowers very large, and of 

 good globular form; hardy. 50c. 



Golden Gate, vig. {Dingee dr 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, /ree. (Rev. James M. Sprunt, 1865). Sulphur yellow; very beautiful in thg bud. A sport from 

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



Ea 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.

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

 market. .50c.

 and beautiful. 50c.
