OBITUARY. 



George Ellwanger. 

 This venerable nurseryman, whose 

 reputation was truly international, 

 died at his home in Rochester, New 

 York, on November 26, in his 90th 

 year. Mr. Ellwanger was a native of 

 Wurtemberg, Germany, and came to 

 this country when 19 years old, already 

 well trained in the knowledge of hor- 

 ticulture and landscape gardening. In 

 1839 he purchased the nursery business 

 of Reynolds & Bateman at Rochester 

 and laid the foundation of the Mt. 

 Hope Nurseries, forming a partnership 

 in 1840 with the late Patrick Barry as 

 Ellwanger & Barry, a firm which in it- 

 self and individually in its members 

 has exercised a widespread influence 

 on the nursery and plant industry of 

 the country. Two years ago many of 

 his friends prepared and presented to 

 Mr. Ellwanger on his birthday a trib- 

 ute expressing their appreciation of 

 his friendship, which had been "a 

 blessing and an inspiration." "You 

 laid the foundation of your life in the 

 four cardinal virtues of justice, pru- 

 dence, temperance, and fortitude," said 

 the tribute, "and we hold up your life 

 as an example to our children." This 

 testimonial tells the story of Mr. EU- 

 wanger's character as a man and a 

 citizen. 



Mrs. Margaret Lynch. 

 Mrs. Margaret Lynch, mother of P. 

 Joseph Lynch, of the Dingee & Con- 

 ard Co., died at West Grove, Pa., on 

 the 29th ult., aged 70. The high mass 

 services were held at St. Mary's church 

 December 3rd. Interment was at St. 

 Mary's cemetery. Mr. Lynch has the 

 sincere sympathy of the trade in his 

 liereavement. 



Edson M. Crossman. 

 Edson M. Grossman of Batavia, 

 N. Y., died on November 20, at the 

 age of 73. He is survived by one 

 brother, L. H. Crossman of Buffalo, 

 and a sister, Mrs. 0. W. Huggins of 

 Batavia.
