IRISH GARDENING. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



JjAHGE siqtpliL'S of L^a.i'ck')v produce of eveiy 

 description has been characteristic of the markets 

 during the ])ast luontli. Fruit, consisting chiefly 

 of ap])1es and pears, was very plentiful. Prices 

 show very little alteration since last month, with 

 the exception of some barrels of a])ples of first 

 rate quality coming from Cari'ick-on-Suir disti'ict, 

 whicii stimulated buyers to increase the bidding 

 over the usual standard. Cox's Orange, Blenheim 

 Orange. Hismarck, Peasgood's, Lord Derby and 

 Brand ey are the ])riuiipal varieties offered for 

 sale which return most prolitable ])rices. Pears, 

 too, when handsome boxes or small lots of 

 selected were offered, received a good share of 

 atteiition, and consequently ])rices for these 

 ranged well above the average. Doyenne du 

 Cornice, Fertility, and 3Iarie Louise were the 

 favourite varieties of this section. Foreign and 

 Cross-channel stuff was well in evidence, and sold 

 exceedingly well. 



Vegetables were extremely plentiful, and 

 occasionally clearances were difficult to effect. 

 Cabbages, both York and Savoy, were over- 

 abundant, consequently ijrices continue to show 

 reductions even from last month. Cauliflowers 

 of good quality are al.so plentiful, and are selling 

 at prices which are not by any means unpi'ofitable. 

 Celery is improving in quality, but increased 

 quantities tend to keep the prices normal. 

 Artichokes made their appearance early in the 

 month, and are now selling in quantity at the 

 usual rates. White Turnijjs are largely supplied, 

 and lettuce has improved .somewhat in price. 

 All other vegetables show little alteration in 

 prices froui last month. 



In the flower section Chrysautheimims are as 

 usual extremely abundant, and good blooms 

 and bunches are giving very poor returns. 

 Violets are now coining in rather plentiful, and 

 returns are considerably reduced. Arum Lilies 

 are now offered for sale, and command ]jrofltable 

 prices per dozen blooms.
