"Onions ! " exclaimed Margaret, disappointedly. 



"Onions, indeed!" repeated Herr Trommel, in- 

 dignantly. "It is the Roman hyacinth, the lovely 

 Paper- White narcissus, 

 the Due von Thol tulip, 

 I have for you. Onions ! " 



"Please excuse me, Mr. 

 Trommel," said Marga- 

 ret, meekly. 



He nodded. "I have 

 these kinds because they 

 will bloom at the sarne^ 

 time. Yes." He counted 

 them over. "There 



should be six bulbs for 

 each j two narcissus, two 

 hyacinth, two tulip 1 



"Oh, say ! " exclaimed Buddy, with enthusiasm. 



"Oh, Mr. Trommel ! " cried Mary. 



"These will bloom at the same time, then you 

 shall have another fine Flower Show. That is the 

 way of an exhibition : when you have won prizes at 

 one, you are not happy until you have had another." 



"Like candy?" suggested Mary. "You always 

 want another piece."
