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. \N 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 SILKNE OR 8ILENK, /rce. (Hardy, 1839.) Rosy carmine, shaded with salmon; fragrant and very free-liow- 
ering. Valuable for the buds. 50c. 
BRI I>E, 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 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 oneof 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 Riz.a du Parc, free. (Schwartz, 1870.) 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. 
Ducliesse de Brabant, vig. (Bemede. 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 aud 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. 
Ktoile de Lyon, free. ( Guillot, 188J.) 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 dt 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. 
lfoincr, 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,
