 silver jjilt medal, was awarded to them at the Royal 

 International Horticultural Kxhibition, held at Chelsea, 

 for their exhibit of " Sanitas Powder," the well-known 

 dressinjf for garden and seed beds as a protection 

 against the inroads of slugs and other garden pests. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



OWINC'i to the unseasonable weather which has I 

 prevailcti during July and .\ugust, apples are 

 maturing more slowly than usual. As a result ! 

 of this lateness, the supply in the earlier pari of the I 

 month chiefly consisted of baskets of windfalls. During 

 .August the market is usually inundated with early 

 varieties, but the prices which li.Hve been paid this 

 season are a sure intlication that the supply did not 

 equal the demand. In the Hrst week of the present 

 month fruits of Warner's King were fetching a shilling 

 a dozen, while a week later a few barrels of the same 

 \*ariety ranged in price from fourteen to sixteen shil- 

 lings. A{ the present time the varielies Lord Grosvenor, 

 Karly Victoria and Grenadier are being forwarded, in 

 addition to the one already mentioned. The supply of 

 dessert apples is made up of consignments of the 

 varielies Beauty of Bath, Irish Peach, and Mr. Glad- 

 stc>ne, and for these there is an equally good demand. 

 Pears and plums are arriving in large quantities from 

 I'Vance and England, and meet with a good reception 

 from buyers. Peaches and nectarines are liberally 

 supplied, both from home and cross-Channel sources, 

 and as a result prices are below the ordinary range lor 

 these fruits. 



The supply of grapes is rather curtailed at present, 

 and principally consists of produce from the South of 

 F^ngland. 



Cut flowers are nol so plentiful as might be expected, 

 bill, doubtless, the inclement weather has caxised a lot 

 of injury to this trade. .Sweet peas, roses and herba 

 ceous flowers in variety ;ire selling ,it a fair price. 

 The presence of several bunches of Chr_\santhemums 

 amongst these summer llowei's reminds us that autumn 

 is with us once more. Good decorative sprays of

Gypsophila provoke keen bidding, and are always sure 

 of commanding a good return. 



Cabbages are now abundantly supplied, and prices 

 have fallen in proportion. 



Cauliflowers, however, are very scarce, as may be 

 inferreil from I heir unusually high cost. 



Peas, which have been selling at a low- price for some 

 lime, exhibit a tendency to become dearer. French 

 beans have never really gone down lo a normal figure 

 this season, and at no lime have they been plentifullv 

 supplied. Broad beans have been selling cheaply, bul, 

 owing to diminishing supplies, they are increasing in 

 value. White turnip-,, parsley, and lettuce are verv 

 plentiful, and are hard to dispose of at a respectable 

 price.
