Catalogues. 



Messrs. Watson -end their list of Summer Bed- 

 ding riant-. It includes Violas. A nl irrhi n u ms. 



Asters, Geraniums, Dahlia-, and many more 

 which are useful t<> give the garden a bright 

 appearance throughoul the summer months. 

 Messrs. Pradal & Co., 18 Windmill Street, 



Tottenham Court Road, London, -end their 



Catalogue of Shrub Tubs, which have seen:. . I 

 numerous awards and bave been exhibited a1 the 

 Chelsea Show. Their tubs are buill in oak. I 



and b h. and it is claimed that, by an entirelj 



new wire-binding process, which advantageously 



-iUOersedes the, lliiuli binding method, al'-olllte 



immunity from shrinking, warping, &c, is 

 obtained. The wire used is specially tested steel 

 corrugated, and the tubs are hound inside as well 

 as outside. Quite a ^,,,,,1 variety of sizes and 

 shapes are made suitable for both indoor and 

 outdoor use. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



The supply of produce al the markets for tin- 

 past month was well maintained. Spring cab- 

 bages were plentiful, and prices therefore low. 

 Broccoli are now becoming scarce, and jjood 

 prices were ohfaiued for selected lots. French 

 beans have been on the market for the pas! few 

 weeks, but the high price asked for them restricted 

 the demand. The same may be said of new 

 potatoes, which have been scarce up to the 

 present . 



Irish rhubarb was well in evidence, and lirst 

 quality stuff realised good prices. The same 

 remarks apply to parsnips, carrots, scallions. and 

 let t uce. &c. 



Bome-grown apples were very scarce, the 

 supply being limited to a lew lots of Bramley's 

 Seedling. 



People growing apples tor commercial pur- 

 poses should turn their attention to the best 

 late keeping varieties, and for this purpose there 

 i- nothing to equal Bramley's Seedling. There 

 was a limited supply of gooseberries offered for 

 sale. which was easily disposed of. Dross- 

 channel fruits are still to he seen, and prices are 

 somewhat higher than last month. 



'There was a good demand lor cut flowers, but 

 i he supply was scarce, as the bulk of the spring 

 bulbs are gone out of bloom.
