ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 27, 1906 It Piles Cured SIBLEY, LINDSAY CURR CO. SIBLEY, LINDSAY CURR CO. SIBLEY, LINDSAY CURR CO WORLD-WIDE FAHE AS A NURSERYMAN A Christmas Word Especially to the Children.

Berlin den, Nov. 1.1, 1908. My Dear Friends: I am liere looking up toys, etc. for our little friends in Rochester and Wesiera "Sew York, as you know, and I must say I like toy busiuess most because it pleases the little ones. spent ahoitt two hours to-day In the lar depart-, ment stores Hnd Wertheim'a.

The former makes the batter display this year. They have decorated tho department with nail evergreen trees and branches and have draped with silver lametta to muke them look as thougu they were covered with frost. Tba central group or display is a miniature purk with several fawns in It. There were fairly good crowds in Iwili stores iu the Toy departments, a good ninny chihtren among them, not, however, as many as are usually out in Kochester tor they never go except with their parents or someone to attend them. One thing I always notice here, no one, old or young, handles the good.

Merchandise that would be ruined in a day in tne United States is displayed here where anyone handlille it, but a sign "Bitte Niebt Berueh-ren" protects them as much as though they wers tindar glass. They do not show the variety of toys that we do, Dolls take the largest space, and aside from animals, mechanical toys, trains, houses and mhher dolls, nearly everything they show is strictly German and would not sell with us. I find only one American made toy on sale here. I might add that fathers and mothers have to pny more here for many toys than we charge for them in Rochester after having paid duty, and freight nearly a third way around the world. Here, as a rule, it is "how much can we get?" not as with us, "how cheaply can we sell it?" With very best wishes, I am.

Very truly jwiirs, V. J. HARKNESS. For the children of Rochester and Western New York, whose thoughts and dreams of Christmas have inspiration in this store, the Holiday season would be incomplete without a word now and tben from the big man who provides the toys, and dolls, and games for this great Christmas store house. Few of our little friends would recognize him if they should meet him, but they have learned to know him and love him through his letters.

As usual, he is over in Europe now getting ready for Christmas, 1907. He has to live a year ahead of us all the tims. Some Christmas season, perhaps, if he ever gets home in time, we shall have to dress him up as Santa Claus and introduce him to all his little friends. To-day he sjnds his greetings and urges you all to come and get acquainted with the best Christmas store Rochester has ever had. Commercial Bank.

He was vice-president of the Rochester Trust and Safe Deposit Company and was intimately connected with other commercial institutions. He was on of the promoters of the first street railway company in this city, and was also closciy Identified with and a director of the Eastman Company. He was a life member of the American Pomologioal Society, the New York State Agricultural Society and the Western New York Horticultural Society, and was a corresponding member of the UassuchusctU Horticultural Society. His benefaetious have been munificent and charitable institutions have been the beneficiaries' of his liberality. During all of big long and active life he was interested in every movement which mude for tlw betterment of Rochester and its citizens.

In IS03 Mr. Ellwanger restored the old church in his native village, and in 1900 he donated the spacious building aud eight acres of land ou South avenue as a Home for Aged Germans. It will not be forgotten that the firm of Ellwanger Sc. Barry gave to Rochester Highland Park, one of its most beautiful recreation grounds, together with its pavilion. Although Mr.

Ellwanger'a business life was very active and engrossing, he always found time for culture nnd extensive reading. He was especially familiar with the literature and history of his native country, and at the same time kept pace with progress in the world of art, science and literature. Iu early life he cultivated a taste for architecture, and his critical opinion was franuently sought anil highly appreciated, lis was not only a lover of pictures, but was a judge of art in the broadst wnse iif the term, in his numerous visits to Europe he was a frequenter of the great art galleries and studios, and his purchases included many valuable painting and pieces of statuary. He was eminently hospitable, and was never more happy than when sharing the pleasures of his home with his friends. With his many employees he was always considerate and generous, and In him they have lost a loyal and cherished friend.

It was Mr. Ellwanger's custom until about four or five years ago to celebrate his birthday by having a gathering of his friends, to whom ho gave a reception and banquet. Although his mind remained clear, he was something of an invalid during the last few yeairs, and only immediate relatives enme to observe his birthday at his Mount Hope avenue home-He was not forgotten by his friends, however. Two years ago many of his friends, among the most prominent men in Rochester, prepared and presented a tribute to Mr. Ellwanger on December 2d.

This expressed their warm appreciation of his friendship, which bad been "a blessinn and an Inspiration." "You laid the foundations of your life in the four cardinal virtues of justice, prudence, temperanc and fortitude," said the tribute, "and we hold up your life as on example to our children." Mr. Ellwanger was a communicant of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Iu 1S40 he married a daughter of General Minah Brooks, one of the pioneers of Western New York, Mrs. Ellwanger died about two years ago.

Of bis four sons, Henry Edward 8. and George H. are deceased, and William D. Ellwanger is resident of Rochester. Acorn Stoves Black Silk Hose at $1.

The place or his nativity wag one ot the gmne yio- uuciug valleys ot tuui. region, tailed the Hemsthal.

It was there that his youth was spent uud there, Uie intervals of school, he engaged iu viticulture, una Una the fouiiiiutiou for his lung uud uselul career iu the Uouiuin of fruits uud Hovvei. and trees. Hecognnsiug his natural tastes, his parents placed liim for five years 10 a leading horticultural establishment at Slutigan, where he perfected his knowledge ot horticulture aud landscape gaideii-ing. Mr. Ellwauger cume to the United Stutus in ISilO.

He nrst went to Tiffin, O. i'a-iug through ituchester ou a cauul packet, tiie boat tarried here for hull a day, giving him au opportunity to look about the yuuiig city. Jiixummatiou ot the soil uud climute sutisUed him thut ltochester wus purticuluriy udupted to horticulture. Ha proceeded to Tiuiu, but, after a time, re-membenug his tavoruble impiessious of itocliester, he decided to mum aud settle here. This he did, and this city wag sines his home.

tuiwuuger first entered the floral establishment of Keyuolds Butthuui, and soon becume muster of all of the details pertaining to the busiuess, aud iu 1WJ he engaged iu busiuess fur himself. Believing that the nursery business offered an inviting aud prontable held, Mr. Eilwanger purchased the establishment of KeynoiUg Bateham, and also purchased eight acres of lund ou Mouut Hope avenue, which was the beginning of what came to be known, world-wide, as the Mouut Uop Nurseries, now comprising huuureug ut acres. Mr. Ellwanger went about the establishment of the new industry with great energy and iutelligeut system.

He spared uo pains nor expense iu procuring the choicest stock, aud he applied from the outset those methods of slerliug integrity which made for the great celebrity quickly attained by the Mount Hope autl gamed tor tlieui a repuiauou thruugu-out the world which hug been maintained in all of the iuterveumg years. Iu the year 1840 Mr. hillwauger formed a business partnership with the late Patrick Barry, which continued until Mr. Barry's death In lbUO. It would be difficult to overestimate the Importance ot Mr.

Ellwanger' inhueuce eu the horticultural and ttorul Interests ot not only Western New l'ork, but of the entire United States. The name of Ellwanger A Barry early became a synonym tor everything which stands for straightforward and honorable dealing, whether a single shrub or stock tor wide areas ol oicnard wag Involved. Mr. Ellwanger realised the growing' importance ot the industry, and made repeated trips to Europe, where he visited all of the great horticultural establisbmeutg of the Old World. He adopted the best methods, and spared uo expenditure in the importation ot the most valuable trees and plants.

Many of these trees and plants were unknown in this country. Iu this way the great fruit growing industry which has become so immeasurably Valuable to the Uuited States had Its real origin. -No other person in the country has introduced and propagated so many new varieties of trees and plants as Mr. Ellwanger. Among the many innovations which he Introduced were dwarf apple aud pear trees, aud he introduced among many other celebrated varieties of fruits the Northern Spy apple.

He drew upon Japan for many novelties. He also literally revolutionized methods ot pruning fruit trees, applying scientific processes which have now been universally adopted. Iu all of these things he was the more successful owing to his intimate knowledge of all of the details of the industry. Large as the nursery busiuess of Ellwanger Barry became locally, they established nurseries St several other poluts, notably Toronto, aud Columbus, O. Many of these nurseries have grown to very large proportions.

The very large acreage of Mouut Hope Nurseries, the intimate aud continued knowledge Ellwanger possessed of foreign conditions and his great scientific knowledge of everything which went to the propagation and growth of plant life, gave the firm the opportunity to give every variety of fruit tree the test of climate, goil and other conditions existing on this gide of the Atlantic. As a result he was enabled to furnish trees for any part of the' United Statos and Cauada aud all over the woVld, kuowing what varieties were best suited to the variations of climate. Trees, plauts and shrubs originating in Europe, Japan and other parts of the East were tried out under the new conditions and disseminated throughout the length aud breadth of the land. For the first time In this country, at Mount Hope Nurseries, full collections ot fruit trees from which to propagate aud produce new varieties were planted. So important did this and other features become, that large numbers of nurserymen procured all of their choice stock from this establishment.

Products of these nurseries have been shipped to all parts of the wcrld, carrying the fame of Rochester to every laud where fruit can be grown. It Is probable that to George Ellwanger more than to any other Individual Uoc'u-seter is indebted for its material industries, for the value ot the industry which he established is beyond computation. Great Is the Industry with which his Dame will he ever inseparably connected, It was not alone to horticulture and kindred subjects that he confined his attention. He was prominently cauuected with the early and late fortunes of th Flower City. He was presideut of the Ellwanger Barry Nursery Company anil the Ellwanger Barry Realty Company, first vice-president of the Reynolds Library and vire-president of the Powers Hotel Company.

He had been a member of the directory of nearly all of the following banks from the- time of their organization: The Flour City Knnk. Vnion Bunk-Monroe County 8avings Bank sod th and Ranges.
