It was hard to get stock from out of town that was fit to offer. We have had much rain for January and a week of winter weather during which the thermometer registered near- ly zero. It is warm again and snow- drops and winter aconite cheer up the lawns. We have had them in plenty the last three or four days. Daffodils are well up and, should it not turn cold again, there will be blooms in a fort- night. There is a good supply of every- thing, especially carnations and roses. Carnations are good in quality and the growers are making good wholesale shipments daily. Prices on carnations are better. Violets are scarce and most of those used are shipped in. This is unusual for this city at this season. Peas are scarce, few having been planted early. Those offered clean up quickly. Orchids have been slow in coming in and it is becoming a ques- tion whether they will be here in sufficient quantities to meet the demand for Valentine's day. Boses are of bet- ter quality and the assortment of vari- eties is good. Plant trade is opening nicely at wholesale and everyone is busy propagating as rapidly as he can, for a heavy plant business is expected this year. Various Notes. Mrs. Tanner, sister of Floyd Bralliar, was killed in an automobile accident near Macon, Ga., January 6, and Mr. B;r41iiar's .^fither was severely injured in the same accident. Mr. Bralliar went to Macon at once and brought back his father to a Nashville sani- tarium and took his sister's remains to Iowa for interment. The Tennessee Florists' Association met here January 24 in conjunction with the Tennessee State Nurserymen's Association. The Joy Floral Co. is doing a good wholesale business, being sold out most of the time. The company is doing more business this January than it has ever done
