 Home growers should tiy and market soft fruit — 

 like strawberries and raspberries —in a more suitable 

 manner, as thev lose about half their v.due through the 

 slovenly way they are sent to market. Raspberries 

 should be marketed in vessels that would ret.iin the 

 juiee. .Strawberries should be gradeil for dessert 

 purposes, and packed in five pound lots, while for cook- 

 ing and iam, twelve pound lots would be sulVicient. 

 The methods of packing certain lots of fruit that com- 

 mand the top price on the market might be copied with 

 advantage and financial g-ain by those who arc com- 

 plaining of the low price of fruit. 



Flowers have not been as well represented as might 

 be expected considering the season. Roses, gfladioli 

 and sweet peas are most in evidence, while annuals, 

 herbaceous stuff, lilies and hothouse blooms are in 

 smaller quantities. The prices on the whole for flowers 

 are small. Vegetables are marketed in limited quan- 

 tities. Summer crops, like peas, beans, turnips and 

 cauliflowers, are most in demand. Salads were also 

 bought up quickly during the warm weather. Cabbag^es 

 are very cheap and scarcely realise the cost of pro- 

 duction. 



At present, as has been the case for the past year, 

 cross channel and foreign produce is bought in pre- 

 ference tc Irish grown, owing to the superior way in 

 wliich it is packed.
