this city will not be reopened this 

 season. 



Harry Hayashi, of Elmhurst, the in- 

 ventor of the "Eapid Eapper," which 

 is made and handled by the Eapid 

 "Wrapper Co., of Chicago, is visiting the 

 city this week. 



Nick Gondolfo, of the Santa Cruz 

 Evergreen Co., has returned from his 

 northern trip. He has secured large lots 

 of greens for the season's business, but 

 says that the scarcity of labor is a con- 

 siderable hindrance to picking.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



AND NOW COME THE 



The Market. 



The aster flood has given way to 

 chrysanthemums, but the large supply 

 of mums is most welcome in view of the 

 shortage of other flowers, caused by sev- 

 eral days of hot weather. While there 

 are many white chrysanthemums and 

 some pink ones, the majority of the of- 

 ferings are yellow. Of these the three 

 varieties most in evidence are Monrovia, 

 Crocus and Chrysolora. All show splen- 

 did quality, but Monrovia, which was 

 one of the first large mums to appear, 

 soon will begin to wane. The other two 

 are about half through their season. Oc- 

 tober Frost is about over and no other 

 large white variety has arrived as yet 

 to take its place, but Queen is looked 

 for within a few days to fill the breach. 

 Small Canary mums, both white and 

 pink, are plentiful. They are proving 

 most satisfactory for shipping purposes, 

 being quoted at 50 cents per dozen. The 

 supply of pompons is increasing daily; 

 the stock sells well. 



The rose market is a disappointment. 

 As the blooms were becoming good, 

 after being below standard for several 

 weeks, the hot weather played havoc 

 with the buds, so that there are prac- 

 tically no first-class roses to be had this 

 week. American Beauties are a negli- 

 gible quantity and other varieties are 

 not much better. Eadianee and Shaw- 

 yer seem to be as good as any. The lim- 

 ited supply of carnations is readily ab- 

 sorbed at winter prices, despite the poor 

 quality of the blooms. Violets are be- 

 ginning to arrive in large quantities, 

 and prices are expected to drop. The 

 orchid situation is a little easier, but 

 there is still room for improvement. The 

 supply of valley meets the requirements, 

 with no surplus. Cut cyclamens work in 

 nicely. Zinnias refuse to be crowded 

 out entirely, although their season is 

 well over. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. E. Darbee is shipping many 

 clirysantheniums and expects this to be 

 the best season in the historv of her
