NEW ROSE 



GENERAL MacARTHIR 



U YDniri TFTT COLOR HYFAR THE MOST BRILLIANT of any shade of crimson forcing 

 '' 1 KMKwMJ 1 L./\ rose ever oEfered, retaining its brilliancy when fully expanded. It is also one 



of the very sweetest varieties ever offered, of very easy culture, as it can be 



grown in the same temperature as an ordinary Tea variety such as Bride. It is a good, strong, vigorous grower, 

 producing stems 24 to 30 inches long, a free and continuous producer. It can be grown at much less cost than 

 Meteor or Liberty, and is a much brighter color than either; also larger when fully expanded. We predict that this 

 will be the red rose for the multitude. Ready for distribution April i, 1904.

New Castle, In»., February 26, iqo4- 

 Our attention was called to the Rose, General MacArthur, three years ago, by the originator, who then had only 

 the one plant. We liked its looks very much, and last year secured 25 plants from the Storrs & Harrison Co. for 

 trial. We cut fine flowers from them all winter and made 600 cuttings which we are growing this winter. \ye com- 

 menced cutting good flowers from them in November, and have done so continuously ever since, it being distinctly 

 a winter Rose. At this date the bench is a fine sight. The plants are from two to three feet high, and are sending 

 out flowering shoots which are most all one to two feet in length, although quite a number are three feet or more. 

 It has the most beautiful large, lustrous foliage, and most abundant of any rose we have ever seen. The flower is a 

 brilliant red, and has a very fine odor. We find it the best Red Rose we have ever grown. While not as fine a 

 flower as Liberty, with us it is much healthier and so much freer flowering that we prefer it. We have it growing 

 in the same house as Bridesmaid. Yours truly, HELLER BROS.
