HENRY A. DREER, Siens, Plants, Bulbs, and Supplies. 714 chestout Street, Philadelphia, Pa 



death having taken place the previous 

 Thursday as the result of a protracted 

 attack of Bright's Disease. Mr. Bal- 

 dinger. who was one of Pittsburgh's 

 veteran commercial florists, was born 

 on February 24, 1834, in Frieburg. Ger- 

 many, where he became practically in- 

 terested in floriculture when a mere 

 lad. In 1850 he came to America, 

 shortly after locating in Pittsburgh, 

 where he has continued in business 

 since. His wife died eight years ago. 

 He is survived by three sons and two 

 daughters, one of whom has for sev- 

 eral years been a saleswoman for the 

 Ludwig Floral Company. Julius W. 

 Ludwig and Henry Mnech of this firm, 

 were among the pall bearers at the

Joseph F. Smith. 



After an illness of several months. 

 Joseph F. Smith, the florist, died at 

 his home at 409 Washington street, 

 Norwich, Conn., on Sunday evening, 

 October 17. death resulting from a 

 lomplication of diseases. 



Joseph F. Smith was born in Gmund, 

 Province of Wurtemburg, Germany, 

 Dec. 6, 1838. He came to this country 

 when 13 years of age and resided in 

 Philadelphia, Pa., until he moved to 

 Norwich in 1865 and engaged as a 

 gardener for Joseph Ripley. In 1871 

 he started in business for himself at 

 Norwich Town, which business he eon- 

 ducted up to the time of his death. He 

 received his education in the public 

 schools of his native town and at 

 Philadelpiiia, Pa. In 1863 he married 

 Katherine Spang of Philadelphia. He 

 is survived by his wife, flve sons and 

 four daughters. 



Enthusiastic and highly successful 

 in the business which he had built up 

 in Norwich Town, he not only pos- 

 sessed those qualities that led to suc- 

 cess in his work, but he won esteem 

 and high regard for what he was as a 

 man. Always reliable, always helpful, 

 smoothing many a troubled way, he 

 won more than success. Not only in 

 his own family will his loss be great, 

 but r.lso in that neighborhood from 

 winch £o many who could ill be spared 

 have passed on in the last lew years. 

 His last years of illness were made 

 lieautitul by the devotion of all in the 

 liome circle.
