hand. It will probably be three weeks 

 more before he will be able to take any 

 active part in the business. Mr. Costa, 

 Cliff Wagenet's partner in the Oakland 

 Flower Shop, has been kept busy dur- 

 ing Mr. Wagenet's absence. The ship- 

 ping business has been good. 



Business with the H. M. Sanborn Co. 

 has been fairly good, but intermittent, 

 owing to the unsettled character of the 

 weather. W. S. Harmon anticipates a 

 fairly good Easter, but nothing like 

 the Easters of the last few years. He 

 expressed the opinion that most of the 

 business will be in low-priced goods, 

 especially in potted plants. Mr. Har- 

 mon thinks it unlikely that much stock 

 will be sold over $2.50 to $5. The grow- 

 ers have also figured this way and it is 

 probable that the market will be well 

 supplied with that class of stock. 



Hogan & Evera report the cut flower 

 business to be less than in February, 

 owing to the influence of the Lenten 

 season. Funeral work has also been less 

 than in February. 



Thomas & Harris say that business 

 for March was not equal to that of 

 February. However, it has been on the 

 whole satisfactory and the clearing up 

 of the weather will probably restore 

 conditions to a better basis. They have 

 purchased a piece of ground nearby, 

 which they will devote to the growing 

 of special plants and flowers. This firm 

 furnished 350 corsage bouquets, besides 

 extensive table decorations, for a ban- 

 quet given by the Berkeley Jewish Al- 

 liance at the Hotel Oakland recently. 

 Table decorations have been the most 

 important work lately. 



F. S. Clarke notes that the number of 

 funerals showed a marked falling off last 

 month. Business generally seems to be 

 less active, though by no means bad. 

 Mr. Clarke thinks that the present situ- 

 ation is simply part of the return to pre- 

 war business conditions and that the 

 present situation and volume of business 

 are about what may be expected from 

 now on. Keener competition, probably, 

 will also exist in the future, as new 

 stores are expected to open. 



Mrs. A. H, Gregory, of the Berkeley 

 Flower Shop, says that the observance 

 of Lent has reduced business a great 

 deal. Few social affairs are being held 

 at the present time and funerals and 

 weddings have fallen off considerably.
