- George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry were owners of one of the largest nurseries in The ["Flower City"]. Ellwanger began the business in 1839 with Thomas Rogers but by 1840 he had bought Rogers out and partnered with Barry who was more knowlegeable than Rogers. Their first site, the ["Mount Hope Nurseries" Mount Hope Garden and Nurseries], grew to 43 acres by 1843 and was the basis of an extremely profitable wholesale business. By 1860 Ellwanger and Barry would control over 500 acres in the area. They grew a wide variety of plants, including fruit trees. They earned an impressive seven awards at the 1849 NY State Fair in Syracuse. Ellwanger frequently traveled to Europe, bringing back seeds and cuttings to cultivate here.	+ George '''Ellwanger''' and Patrick '''Barry''' were owners of one of the largest nurseries in The ["Flower City"].

In addition, the founding generation of nurserymen began to pass around the turn of the century and their leadership was not replaced. George Ellwanger would die in 1906. Patrick Barry's son, the company's president, died in 1912. The company began subdividing their holdings and selling them off piece by piece. It was a losing proposition. Despite having gone public in 1900, the company would liquidate its stock by 1918, with only two profitable years out of the eighteen.
