.\monir.st iVuit Irisli apples have been seen to belter 

 advantaije than for .some lime, and siiould have feleluHl 

 better pViecs. In the early pari of ihe month we had a 

 ifood selection of the difterenl varieties, but now at the 

 ilose of the month Brantley's Seedlin),'- is the chiel 

 variety beiniif sold. 



t'.rapes are very poor and badly coloured, .ind llu- 

 demand for them is fallinj,'. 



-Sprinir flowers .ire now arrivinjf in larg-er quantities, 

 the bulk of them beinic tulips, narcissi, violets and 

 Aurum lilies, and these are, for the most part, Ironi 

 1" ranee. 



\"ei,-el.d-)les are sellinif a little better, but the mainier 

 in which a larye percentas;e of the root crops are 

 marketed precludes them from realisintj tbeir full value. 

 At present York cabbage is very scarce, and a lot of 

 it is loo immature to sell as cooking •' cabbage." 

 Brussels sprouts are plentiful and very good. As a 

 rule sprouts are one of the best crops sent to the Dublin 

 markets for quality as well as the careful way they are 

 graded. People sending produce to market should 

 alwavs keep before their minds' eye the fact that 

 packing, grading, and cleanliness have a great deal to 

 do with the protUable marketing of produce, let it be 

 flowers, fruit, or vegetables ; and that neatly packed 

 and carefullv graded stuff w^ill always get its full value, 

 while, on tlie other hand, if carelessly packed or dirty 

 it only gels about half its value. 



It is fully lime now thai Irish growers should do iheir 

 best to gain a fair share of the profits of market 

 gardening, and not allow it to be entirely monopolised 

 by foreign growers, as we see it drifting on to. day b}- 

 day.
