Herbert Heller, 



Herbert Heller, of New Castle. Ind., 

 died .July !>, after a protracted illness 

 with cancer of the stomach. 



Mr. Heller was widely known in the 

 trade, and had a host of friends who long 

 had known that his illness must terminate 

 fatally, and to wliom lii.s condition was a 

 sorrow. The last time he was seen by 

 many was at the inilianaj)olis convention 

 of the American Carnation [Society in 

 January. A few days after that meeting 

 an operation performed in an Indianai)- 

 olis hospital rexcaleil the fatal character 

 of his tlisease. He was of genial disposi- 

 tion and an active, jirogressive man of 

 many interests, a frcnpient visitor to Chi- 

 cago, St. lioui.s, Cincinmiti, Pittsburg and 

 other markets, and .nhvays bringing a 

 good nature that ma<le his welcome sure, 

 and made tlic progri'ss of his illness a 

 matter of general concern. 



Herbert Heller was born at Knights- 

 town, Jnd.. in 1S71. After thi' removal 

 of the family to ^'ew Castle he and his 

 ebler brother, .Myei', a\ ho built uj) ;i pros- 

 jierous department store, took up the 

 greenhouse business as a profitable imest- 

 mcnt. They grew roses with nuicli suc- 

 cess, and soon the llower business came 

 to occupy the larger part of Herbert 

 Heller's tinu> and attention. The South 

 Park Floral Co. l)ec;ime a leading exhib- 

 itor at the big western flower shows, and 

 the range (d' <;lass grew rapidly. P.eauties 

 always ha\(' been the iirimi[)al rroj), and 

 it was the imnieiliate success ut' the Heller 

 establisluneut that attracted attention to 

 New Castle as a rose center and inspired 

 the building of the other large places 

 that |)ros|ier there. He ma<Ie the names 

 uf Heller and New Castle known the 

 ciiuidry o\'er by wide advertising (tf lose 

 plants in the general imigazines, first oidy 

 as a method of dis]>osing of year old 

 pl.-ints from tiie benches. 



^Ir. Heller married six years ago with 

 "Miss Mai'y Smith, of Indianapolis. They 

 had one son, nnw a little more than a year 

 nld. He also lea\('.s a venerabli' mr)ther. 

 a sister and his brother, Myer. Mr. Heller 

 had accunnilated a considerable estate. 

 He ^vas a member ot' the S. A. P., the 

 American Carnation Society, and other 

 tiaile ori;;! iii/at ions, including the Socirly 

 of Indiana J'lorists. He also \\;is an 

 KIk and an Odd Fellow.
