IRISH GARDENING. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



The past month has found a diminishing supplj 

 of produce from home sources, and thai generally 

 of poor quality. The inclemency of the weather, 

 and perhaps the Lenten season, may have in- 

 fluenced the markets. 



Amongst fruit, Irish apples have been scarce, 



and the few offered should have broughl higher 



Growers should pay a little more attention 



to the cultivation and handling of their fruil 



if they wish to attain success. 



Spring flowers are now arriving in larger 

 quantities, the bulk of them consisting of Tulips, 

 Narcissi, Anemone- and Violets, all of which mel 

 with a ready sale. 



Vegetables are selling a little better than 

 during the previous month: but owing to the 

 manner in which mosl of t hem are marketed t heir 

 lull value cannot he obtained. York cabbages 

 were scarce and the quality below the average, 

 hut it was surprising to note I hat Savoys of much 

 better quality broughl less money. The season 

 for celery is over, hut seakale and asparagus are 

 taking its place. Rhubarb, spinach, lettuce and 

 pot herbs were in good demand.
