Mr. Berger showed that he is a true 

 florist from the retail standpoint by his 

 criticism of the begonia, not the begonia 

 as there seen, but the begonia as a 

 plant. He said it did not keep. No one 

 would dispute that fact, but Van 

 promptly came to the rescue by point- 

 ing out that the begonia in front of 

 them — Konkurent — kept better than the 

 old Lorraine type. At this point Eobert 

 Craig caused a diversion by appearing 

 and remarking that they were employ- 

 ing seven young women as helpers in the 

 greenhouses, an innovation. 



The magnificent cyclamens and the. 

 promising dracaenas divided Mr. Berg- 

 er 's attention until it was time to go; 

 then, with hearty invitation to come 

 again, he departed for the home grounds.
