IRISH GARDENING 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



Thekk was an unusual i;lut of Onions in the markets in 

 the early part of last monfeii. This was owing to the close, 

 dry weather, which had a tendency to run them to seed, 

 and the tops, too, were showing much discolouration 

 which made gardeners anxious to clear them out as quickly 

 as possible. Under this pressure prices were low and 

 irregular, but towards the end of the month supplies 

 decreased a little and prices were better. Rhubarb con- 

 tinued to be largely marketed all through the month and 

 sold remarkably well for the time of year, although not so 

 satisfactorily as for some time previous. Cabbages were 

 plentiful, aiid prices were very low early in the month, but 

 improved later. Cauliflowers of good quality were rather 

 scarce and making good prices. The market was largely 

 stocked with Lettuce, Radishes and other seasonable 

 commodities. White Turnips came in more freely and 

 sold well. 



With regard to fruit, the trade and market is altogether 

 upset by the Government Order regulating, under D.O. R. A. 

 that all imit must be consigned to a licensed seller, who in 

 turn must undertake to sell to a recognised and licensed 

 jam manufacturer. Growers, therefore, in the present 

 uncertainty of things, have stopped pulling fruit, and 

 shopkeepers are likely to be without same, and in these 

 circumstances a great deal of fruit is going to waste in 

 many districts. 



Cut flowers were in more profusion, and sold well ; choice 

 flowers greatly wanted.
