Book Excerpt: 
. . .The Lady, with a slight sigh: "No, orchids wouldn't do. They are fantastic[Pg 9] things, anyway, and they are not very effective, as you say. Pinks, anemones, marguerites, narcissus—there doesn't seem to be any great variety, does there?"

The Florist, patiently: "There will be more, lader on."

The Lady: "Yes, there will be more sun, later on. But now, Mr. Eichenlaub, what do you think of plants in pots, set around?"

The Florist: "Balmss?"

The Lady, vaguely: "Yes, palms."

The Florist: "Balmss would to. But there would not be very much golor."

The Lady: "That is true; there would be no color at all, and my rooms certainly need all the color I can get[Pg 10] into them. Yes, I shall have to have roses, after all. But not white ones!"

The Florist: "Chacks?"

The Lady: "No; Jacks are too old-fashioned. But haven't you got any other very dark rose? I should like something almost black, I believe."
