ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 



COL. WILDER. p. BARRY. 



exposed to the sun brilliant red or carmine. The flesh, while it is like that of the Bartlett, is free 

 from its strong musky aroma, and is firm to the core. It commences to ripen in August, a little before 

 the Bartlett, and extends into September; The tree is a moderate grower, and to obtain good standard 

 and dwarf trees we are obliged to work it upon strong growing sorts. On account of its size, 

 quality and earliness, it is entitled to a place among the best pears and it deserves more attention 

 than it has hitherto received. 75c. 



Winter Nelis— One of the best and most valuable early winter pears ; medium size ; dull russet ; 

 melting and butterjr, with a rich, sprightly flavor. Tree a slender straggling, but free grower. 

 Bears heavy crops regularly. It must be top grafted to obtain good trees. 75c. 



THE WINDSOR CHERRY, 



One of our introductions, and a variety which cannot be commended too highly. It is large, black, 

 very firm, and of fine quality, ripening late. We consider this one of the best fruits we have brought to 

 notice. 50c. 



THE GRAND DUKE PL,UM. 



A great acquisition to the list of valuable plums. The fruit is of the largest size, purple, handsome, 

 and flavor excellent. It ripens late, after most other kinds, and has a particular value on that account. 

 Besides it does not seem inclined to rot. This variety on account of its large size and handsome appear- 

 ance, and time of ripening, will be welcomed by fruit growers as a valuable sort to extend the plum 

 season. $1.00. 



V Other rare varieties of plums worthy of special mention are : 



Dunlap— A beautiful, large, yellow plum, resembling the Yellow Egg, but ripening early ; flesh cling, 

 juicy, sweet, very good. 75c. 



■is Lafayette — Medium to large, roundish, purple, quality good, valuable on account of its lateness 

 75c. 



Reine Claude Violette — Medium size, purple, delicious flavor ; strongly reccmmended for 

 the table. 75c.
