"GEORGE STUMPP DIES A RETIRED FLORIST, 62
"Director for 20 Years of Firm Founded by Father in 1874
"George E. M. Stumpp of 64 East Ninety-first Street, for many years one of the city's fashionable florists, with a shop at 732 Fifth Avenue, died yesterday, after a brief illness, in the Doctors Hospital. He was born here 62 years ago.
"The business which Mr. Stumpp directed from 1913 until his retirement in 1933, was founded in 1874 by his father, the late George M. Stumpp, who had come to New York from Wurttemburg, Germany, seven years earlier. The son continued to provide flowers and plants for the same clientele, including many of the leading families of New York, that had been attracted by the horticultural knowledge and good taste of the father.
"At the New York World Fair Mr. Stumpp judged several floral exhibits. He was a former president of the New York Florists Club, a founder of the Florists Telegraph and Delivery Association, and a member of the Horticultural Society.
"He leaves a widow, Lena Heppenheimer Stumpp; a daughter, Mrs. Gloria de Beixedon: a son, George E. M. Stumpp 3d, who served in the Tunisian campaign with the American Field Service, and a sister, Mrs. Henry Mehl."
