E take pleasure in presenting herewith our Catalogue 

 for 1913, with revised and complete descriptions. The 

 simple and systematic arrangement, combined with a 

 complete index, renders the publication very convenient 



V for reference, and of great assistance to our patrons in 

 ^ "^^^^B^^j making up their orders, and we think the present edition 

 ^ ^ ^ 'c'.^^^K^'. V. ^y-^Yi serve, not merely as a catalogue or descriptive price 



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, and we carefully test it in our trial grounds, 

 which are maintained at large expense. 

 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 em- 

 ploy, 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 or 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 quality of the goods offered, and 

 all intending purchasers will find it to their advantage to give us an opportu- 

 nity to furnish estimates upon their lists. 

 It will be noted that we have omitted from the lists in both the Fruit and 

 Ornamental Departments several varieties of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, 

 Shrubs, and Roses, which, owing to the limited demand for them, we have con- 

 cluded not to propagate longer. 

 Our patrons are requested to read carefully " Hints on Transplanting," " The Prepara- 

 tion of the Soil," " The Preparation of the Trees," " Planting," After Culture." The 

 information given under these headings is important, and success in planting will largely 

 depend upon the careful observance of the suggestions made. 



We are grateful for the liberal patronage which we have enjoyed for nearly three- 

 quarters of a century and solicit a continuance of the same. 



ELLWANGER & BARRY.
