IRISH GARDENING 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



During the moutli the supplies of vegetables 

 exceeded slightly those of the preceding month. 

 The spring being so late, no fresh vegetables of 

 any sort were to be seen. But with the genial 

 weather coming now it is hoped that it will 

 hasten on Cabbage and Salads. 



The supplies of Irish-grown Apples have 

 apparently become exhausted, as only a few 

 bai'rels of Bramley Seedliiig were sent into the 

 market. The prices were the siime as last month. 



In the flower section the market was well 

 stocked with Narcissi, Arum Lilies, Anemone 

 " St. Brigid," Carnations and Tulips. 



Vegetables sold well throughout the mouth. 

 Cabbage advanced in pi'ice although they were 

 of rather poor quality. Savoy Cabbage has also 

 risen ii). price ; one load fetched the extraordinary 

 figure of 90s. There were small lots of Broccoli, 

 also Celery ; this vegetable was of fair quality, 

 and the prices realised were good. The quantity 

 of Brussels Sjjrouts was up to their usual standard, 

 and prices rose considerably. Cari'ots and 

 Parsnips were plentiful ; the latter vegetable 

 gained in price as compared with last month. 

 There was a moderate sujDply of Leeks, also of 

 White and Yellow Turnips. Spinach, Parsley, 

 Sage and Thyme were xip to the average standard. 



Bhiibarb was sent in in fair quantity, and the 

 prices were very good.
