IRISH C4ARDENJNG 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



THf continued severity of ihe weather has had 

 the effect of considej-ably curtailing supplies in 

 tlie Dublin Wholesale Markets. There has, how- 

 iver. been no marked increase in prices. 



The supply of Irish apples was under average, 

 ■ lud prices renaained as last month. This was 

 probably accounted for by the continued scarcity 

 of sugar. 



Following Christmas, home grown flowers were 

 very scarce, as there is usually a falling off in the 

 dennind at this season. A considerable supply of 

 foreign flowers is now appearing, and can be 

 obtained at I'easonable prices. 



Vegetable supplies were normal. York and 

 Savoy cabbage, a few flaskets of Cauliflowers of 

 very inferior quality, and a fair quantity of 

 Brussels Sjirouts were on sale. Celery was well 

 sup]>lied and eagerly sought after. Carrots were 

 i^ood and plentiful. There was a marked falling off 

 ill Parsnips. Leeks were abundant and effected a 

 leady sale. Onions continue to be scarce, and 

 owing to the foreign supplies being somewhat 

 interfered with owing to shipping conditions, 

 prices w ere very high. 



The following is a price list for the month • —
