OBITUAEY. 



Balthasar Stahl. 



Balthasar Stahl, a widely known 

 florist of Philadelphia, died at his 

 home in West Philadelphia on the even- 

 ing of March 8, after a brief illness. 

 Mr. Stahl was born in Germany a little 

 over sixty-two years ago. He came to 

 this country when 16 years of a^e, 

 going first to New York. Ten years 

 later, in the Centennial year, he re- 

 moved to Philadelphia to commence 

 work as a florist. Later he formed 

 a partnership with M. F. LaRoche, 

 under the firm name of LaRoche & 

 Stahl, doing a wholesale and retail cut 

 flower business at the northeast cor- 

 ner of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, 

 with greenhouses at CoUingdale, Pa. 

 The firm did a large business, handling 

 the product of many of the principiQ 

 growers of , the day. Mr. Stahl had 

 charge of the retail department of the 

 business, and by his unfailing courtesy 

 and attention to business won many 

 friends. When the firm dissolved part- 

 nership Mr. Stahl opened a retail store 

 at 27 South Eleventh street under his 

 own name, which he continued until 

 the time of his death. A branch store 

 and greenhouses operated by his son, 

 Charles B. Stahl, at Twelfth and Dick- 

 inson streets, furnished the foliage 

 plants used in decorating, an important 

 part of the business. 



The funeral, which was attended by 

 relatives and friends, took place 

 March 12.
