 very pleasant stroll through the plant 

 of Aug. Begerow, who has three 

 houses, 35x216 feet. He grows about 

 15.000 geraniums for the spring trade, 

 also a large amount of other bedding 

 stock. Smilax and Asparagus plumosa 

 are also grown and there is a very fin© 

 stock of schizanthus for the Easter 

 trade. H. B. McKnight, foreman for 

 Mr. Begerow has a promising carna- 

 tion seedling, a cross between Winsor 

 and Victory. Another, a cross be- 

 tween Prosperity and Beacon has been 

 named Prince George. It is a rich 

 fringed red. large flower and robust 

 grower, making an immense plant 

 either in the field or indoors.
