OBITUARY. 



Balthasar Stahl. 



Balthasar Stahl, a widely l<nown 

 florist of Pliiladelphia, die(l 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 10 years of age, 

 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 LaKoche & 

 Stahl, doing a wholesale and retail cut 

 flower business at the northeast cor- 

 ner of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, 

 with greenhouses at Collingdale, Pa. 

 The firm did a large business, handling 

 the product of many of the principal 

 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 liranch store 

 and greenhouses operated bv 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 li'.
