special attention to the attractions of " Perpetual Aug. 1; 



Flowering Carnations " as bedding out plants. 



The catalogue is illustrated and contains quite 



a small " treatise " on the culture of the plant both 



for spring and autumn bedding, and should ])rove " 



interesting information to those who would like to 



grow " Perpetuals," but who may fear to try them Sept. 



because they have not the accommodation of a 



greenhouse. It would certainly be worth while 



to secure a copy, which we understand will be Oct.

Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



Throughout the month of July the marketing of 

 small fruits is always of first importance, as they 

 engage almost the entire attention of all con- 

 cerned in the trade. 



Strawberries are rapidly finishing off with the 

 exception of some consignments from Armagh. 

 On account of the dry weather the season of this 

 fruit was short and the supplies were not equal 

 to previous years. The jtrices were exceptionally 

 good and firm, showing little or no flvictuation 

 except towards the end of the month, and the 

 Cross-channel trade ceased early, thereby giving 

 a chance to the home-grown. Gooseberries have 

 not been so plentifully marketed this season, 

 largely owing to the ravages of the American 

 mildew. The demand for red and black currants 

 has not been as great as was expected ; but 

 i"asi)berries were eagerly looked after and made
