IRISH GARDENING. 



xv 



The scarcity and poor quality of Irish apples 

 in tiu'Jiuarkets for the past month demonstrate 

 clearly that the unfavourable spring and early 

 summer played havoc on orchardists. As a result 

 there are widespread complaints of fruit being 

 undersized, and in many cases badly disfigured 

 by seal), though colouring has been finished better 

 t han tor some seasons back. In fact this has been 

 one of the worst fruit years for a considerable 

 time. It is pleasing to note, however, that first 

 grade apples are commanding a good return, 

 attractively marketed in trays, and holding from 

 1 \v< > to three dozen fruits. Apples in barrels are 

 now becoming more plentiful, the varietj 

 Bramley's Seedling holding sole sway, and com- 

 manding excellent returns tor good quality lots. 

 Of dessert apples, Allington Pippin and Cox's are 

 most in evidence and are eagerly sought for. 



In the flower section there is no diminution in 

 the popularity of the gay Chrysanthemum, as is 

 apparent by the large quantities of cut blooms in 

 all their glorious wealth of colours and tints dis- 

 played on the market. Now and again during 

 the month they were more or less a glut owing to 

 the large supplies arriving from Covent Garden. 

 Taking the trade all-round the profitable prices 

 obtained in most cases amply repay the grower. 

 And it one may he allowed a little digression here 

 it is worthy of remark that flowers apart from 

 their market value are a redeeming feature in the 

 everyday markets.
