The only consistent thing for the foreis^n 

 nurserymen to do is to sto]) growing and cata- 

 lo'^uing !i plant originating in a country witli 

 which his own is at war. and by doing so lie only 

 hurls himself. 



We hope the thought only originated in the heat 

 of battle, and that wisei- second thought will 

 prevail. 



We love Jind appreciate Gruss an Telitz, Fran 

 Karl Druschki. and even Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria in spite of their names, and it is a small 

 mind that tries to bring horticulture down to the 

 level of human enmities. — The National Xnrserij-

Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



Duuinh; the past month the markets were well 

 ,sui>i>lied with fruit, flowers and vegetables. 



Fruit. — The demand for apples during tin- 

 early part of the month was far below the 

 average. In many. cases consignments had to be 

 kept over unsold until next market day, and poor 

 l)rices were only realised. Towards the end of the 

 month a favourable change ensued, and prices 

 raised considerably ; supi)lies not equal to de- 

 mand. Pears very scarce and cheap. Grapes, 

 good supply, prices as iisual. 



Vegetables. — There were large supplies of the 

 above on sale : demand equal to supply. Cabbage 

 maintained a firm price throughout. Savoys 

 were not so much in demand as Yorks. Broccoli — 

 A fair supply of those were for sale, and Avere 

 readily disposed of at good prices. Artichokes 

 and Brussels sprouts were largely supplied ; 

 prices have reduced. Consignments of forced 

 •seakale and asparagus from across channel were 

 on sale, and were eagerly sought after ; both 

 realised good prices. A limited supply of excellent 

 celery was for sale, and brought prices which well 

 compensated the growers for any extra care they 

 took in the cultivation of it. 



Flowers. — Large supplies of cut flowers — • 

 mainly from Covent Garden — are being received 

 every week ; the bulk consists of Narcissi. 

 Daffodils, Tulips, Hyacinths, Carnations and 

 Violets, &c. All were cleared at exceptionally 

 good prices. There was a lively demand for 

 flowering plants. Cinerarias, Azaleas, Cyclamen 

 andJTulips are the features just now. Of foliage 



.subjects, Smilax, Asparagus plumitsus. and A.
