themvms as far east as Salt Lake City 

 with satisfactory results. 



The store of the Misses Hannon, on 

 Sutteir street^ has taken considerable 

 part in the decorations for the Safety 

 First exhibition, now being held in the 

 Municipal auditorium. This exhibit is 

 being held in conjunction with the 

 third annual congress of the National 

 Traffic Officers' Association. 



Julius Eppstein's store, in the St. 

 Francis hotel, is making a specialty of 

 baskets at present. Claude Bemagan 

 has been especially engaged to arrange 

 the baskets. Patrons of the hotel and 

 their friends are keeping Mr. Bemagan 

 busy. 



Labor is so scarce, especially in agri- 

 cultural and horticultural work, that 

 labor-saving machines are a matter of 

 especial interest to growers. Several 

 nurserymen have gone to the Hillsbor- 

 ough Nurseries, at Burlingame, to ex- 

 periment in an open field with a trac- 

 tor. Among them are W. A. Beubold, 

 assistant managed of the California 

 Seed Co., and H. Hayashi, of the Beres- 

 ford Nurseries. M. M.

The Market. 



A plentiful supply of summer offer- 

 ings has served to leave prices un- 

 changed. The recent arrivals have in- 

 cluded the later varieties of dahlias, 

 goldenrod and zinnias, while local 

 growers announced that their deliveries 

 of water lilies would be lighter. In the 

 point of volume of arrivals, asters are 

 the big thing in this market at the 

 present time. Gladioli are second to 

 asters in volume of receipts and make 

 a nice impression. One grower is send- 

 ing in some pnrple Helen gladioli, 

 which are enough of a novelty to clean 

 up entirely, while the better known 

 Schwaben, Rosella, Alice and Goliath 

 move well. The trade has been fortu- 

 nate ihis year in the wide variety of 

 colors offered by local growers. 



Boses are still the leader in cut flow- 

 ers, with a number of newer offerings 

 attracting buyers' attention. Bosita, 

 Butterfly, Dunlop and Victory fall in 

 this classification. Ophelia leads the 

 standard varieties again, with Bussell, 

 Irish Elegance and Columbia plentiful. 

 Gecile Brunner has been a little off 

 color in most recent deliveries. There 

 will be a fair crop of sweet peas from 

 the Centralia and Chehalis growers this 

 season, according to late advices. 



Snapdragons are in shorter supply
