ELLWASGER & BARRY'S 



Among the French Hybrid Teas, Antoine Yerdier will be found decidedly useful 

 for bedding, being immensely productive ; it is not of high enough quality to rank as a 

 forcing variety. Brigitte Violet, Mm. Alexandre Bernaix and Pierre Guillot, are the 

 most valuable members of the class, after La France. The first named is specially 

 desirable for out-of-door culture, the others are admirable under glass. 



The Polyantha Roses please us greatly, and should be grown by every one who has 

 any love for Roses. They are valuable iig-doors and out, to the Florist and the Ama- 

 teur, to the Tyro and the experienced Rosarian. 



Of the new Roses, well tested by us, that are really hardy, Mnie. Gabriel Luizet is 

 preeminently the best. Although a Summer Rose, it is destined to attain great popular- 

 ity. In color and form it is equal to Baroness Rothschild, and is fragrant. Others that 

 have excited our special interest, are Gaston Leveque, Helen Paul, Countess of Rose- 

 berry (this kind only showed its real worth the past season), Gabriel Tournier (as an 

 autumnal), Mabel Morrison, and A. K. Williams. This last sort gives distinct flowers 

 fully equal (when perfect) in quality to Alfred Colomb or Marie Baumann, but in the 

 proportion of one to five. In other words, one would require five plants of A. K. Wil- 

 liams to one of Alfred Colomb, to get the same number of fine blooms in a season 



Among the new Teas Etoile de Lyon will unquestionably take the place of honor ; 

 following it will be Angele Jacquier, Jules Finger, La Princesse Vera and Mme. Welche. 



SEEDLING ROSES. — We are propagating some of the most promising of 

 our Seedling Roses, and will have stock enough to enable us to offer a few of them next 

 autumn. Our customers are invited to visit our place the last week in June, and see 

 our seedlings and general collection. Our grounds afford the finest display of Roses to 

 be seen in the country, and more can be learned of the beauty and comparative merits 

 of the various sorts, than is possible by any amount of reading, or by visiting the 

 exhibitions. 



PRICES OF NEW ROSES.— Our price-list of new Roses is made very 

 low, the quality of plants being considered, and offers inducements to all persons seeking 

 the best novelties. Where the space is left blank, in the column of prices, no plants of 

 that size can be supplied. The asterisk ( * ) means that plants will be furnished at the 

 common rate, as given in general catalogue, page 8. 



Customers need not look in the general catalogue for prices of new sorts, as all new 

 Roses for which an extra price is charged, are placed in this list. We feel sure that our 

 arrangement will commend itself to all, as the best that can be devised.
