IRISH GARDENING. 



Notice to Subscribers. 



We regret to have to announce that the further 

 advances in wages and in the already greatly in- 

 creased cost of paper and other materials used in 

 the production of Irish Gardening, and also the 

 new postal regulations, which have raised the 

 postage to l^d. per month, necessitate a further 

 increase in the price of the journal. Commenc- 

 ing with next month's number — August, 1918 — the 

 price of Irish Gardening will be 6d. per month ; 

 7^d. post free. 



Annual ,Suhscripti(ms will, however, be accepted 

 at 6s. (including postage) if paid in advance, thus 

 reducing the cost of the journal to annual sub- 

 scribers to 4id. per month, 6d. post free. 



These changes will not, however affect annual 

 subscriptions which have already been paid ; they 

 will be continued until expiration without any 

 further charge. 



We feel confident that our readers will approve 

 of this rather than that there should be (as in the 

 case of so many other publications) a reduction 

 in the size of the journal or a lowering in the 

 excellence of production which has been hitherto 

 maintained notwithstanding the increasing ex- 

 penses. IRISH GARDENING Ltd.

SAVE YOUR POTATOES 



" ' Tis not ill mortals 

 to cure Potato Bliglit 

 but we'll do more 

 —prevent it,'' says 

 Mr. Berger. 



Blight may attack your 

 crops this season — re- 

 member the spread of 

 the disease last year. 

 You cannot cure, but 

 can prevent it by spray- 

 ing with Bordeaux 

 Mixture as recommended by the Food 

 Production Department (page 8, Potato 

 Blight leaflet) and incidentally increase 

 your yield by 2 tons per acre. Don't 

 wait for disease, and don't risk scorching 

 by using home made mixtures, but spray 

 at least twice — at two weeks' interval — 

 with the safe paste which is ready for 

 use with water —
