Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Founding... Mathilda and Carl Otto Koch founded Dundalk Florist, Inc. in 1909. The story begins earlier... Mathilda Augusta Henning married Carl Otto Hugo Koch in 1884. One year later the newlyweds arrived in Baltimore from Germany. Mathilda's brother, Herman Henning, was already operating a greenhouse on German Hill Road from which he hauled and sold flowers in the local markets. On Christmas Eve 1909 Herman returned home from "over-celebrating" the holiday. Due to the evening's freezing temperature, Herman unhitched his horse and took it inside to sleep with him. Waking late the next day, Herman found his entire greenhouse frozen solid and the florist business lost. Discouraged, he left for Wisconsin telling Mathilda and Carl who were farming at the time, they could have whatever they could salvage.
