IRISH GARDENING. 



Garden Labour 



A8 ill otluT .s))ln>ri's then- is ,ui unusual slmrtapt' 

 of giirdi-n la)K>ur this year, and how to nverconu' 

 this is u prohU'tii to many. Tht-rc is one way to 

 cause a great savinj; of crarden lahimr, and that 

 is to use Weed JvilK-r wlierever it ean be 

 used. 



The cost of the Weed Killer and tlie application 

 of it are enormously less than the cost of removing 

 the weeds by scuffling or any other method. 

 This has not yet been appreciated by all who 

 have weedy walks to clean, and the nunaber of 

 Weed Killer users increases every year. Of the 

 many Weed Killing preparations, Smith's 

 " Perfect" Weed Killer retains its place as one 

 of the very best. The Irish^Agent is Mr. D. M. 

 Watson, Horticviltural^Chemist, 61 South Great 

 George's Street, Dublin, and he will be glad to 

 give all particulars on request. Prices of Smith's 

 Weed Killer are given on page vii of this issue. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



Large q lautities of garden produce have been 

 marketed all through the past month, and prices 

 remain about the same as figured in last month's 

 notes. Cibbages and cauliflowers in particular 

 are extremely plentiful, and the former are selling 

 well when of good quality — -very high figures 

 being paid f )r loads of medium size. Cauliflowers 

 have dropped in price during the past few weeks 

 owing t) weight of supply. Rhubarb is also 

 marketed in abundance at normal rates. The 

 first lot of n'^w potatoes appeared about the first 

 week in Mxy, and eager buyers were numerous. 

 Peaches, c > i^'^^i^rries and tomatoes appeared 

 about t lo -nidd'e of the naonth, and a good 

 enquiry f >r t le former resulted in exceptionally 

 high fiTT^s b-^iuTj reached for such early and 

 delicious ^ ibjects. Cut flowers in good v^Hetv 



were also disposed of in (juantity at the usual 

 rates. Spiraeas and .X/.aloJus in pots were very 

 efl'ective, and sold nadilv.
