 loeal ifiovvors relained a lai^o porceiitaife of lluir pro- 

 duolsloi- the t'hrislinas markets, and this, eonihineil 

 witli the lari,'e arrivals of foreiyfu produce, hail llu- i-lleel 

 of lowerintc prices to a considerable extent. 



Fruit from home sources has not arrived in such larjjfe 

 quantities as duriiij,'- last month ; at present yrapes and 

 pears, "considering- quality," are selling- well. Irish 

 apples were principally represented by Hramley's Seed- 

 liny, and were selling at what is consitlered a gooil 

 paying- price. Foreign fruit is abundant, and arriving 

 in splendid condition. 



Flowers were plentiful throughout the nionlh, and 

 easilv disposed of. Chrysanthemums continue to be 

 marketed in large quantities ; the following sorts have 

 been selling- we'll and are popular with buyers, viz., 

 Winter Cheer. Viveas, W. H. Lincoln. Roman hya- 

 cinths, narcissi, and various forced flowering: plants 

 were arriving; in fair quantities. Gillies have not been 

 equal to the demand, and therefore sold well. All classes 

 of greenery arrived in large quantities. 



The vegetables marketed during December were 

 poor samples and sold cheaply. All classes of green crops 

 met with a poor demand. Root crops were about the 

 same as last month, while pot-herbs and salads sold well.
