siuli as ovor-mauuiins nnd lack of lime. In 

 order to reduce the amount of crackiuR to a 

 niinininni it is advisable — (1 ) to select modcralely 

 <40od soil where liming lias not been neglected, 

 and (2) to sow late — the end of April rather than 

 Feliruary or March, A dressing of salt previous 

 to sowing, 5 cwt. per acre on heavy soil and up 

 to 10 cwt. per acre on light, will also probably 

 prove beneficial. — The Journcd of ihe Board of

Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



York Cabbages were very scarce last month, and 

 selling well. Cauliflowers of good quality were 

 fairly plentiful, and realised good prices. 

 lUuibarb is almost over. Lettuce was very 

 l)lentiful last month and liard to sell. Tomatoes 

 were still plentiful, and prices as good as those 

 of the previous month. The supply of Irish 

 Onions was very good, and they were selling 

 fairly well. White Turnips wei'e scarce and 

 bought up quickly at good prices. 



There was a very large supply of fruit on sale 

 last month, and. of course, most of it was of an 

 uncontrolled character. Dessert Apples are 

 leather scarce this year, with the result that they 

 are realising handsome prices ; the piincipal 

 varieties offered for sale were " Beauty of Bath," 

 " Mr. Gladstone," and " Langley Pippin." Cook- 

 ing Apples were supplied moderately in the 

 lieginning of the month, but the supply is in- 

 creasing : they are not selling as satisfactorily as 

 the dessert varieties, probably owing to the 

 dearth of sugar. Pears were not supplied in large 

 ((uantities, but demand very keen. The Plum 

 crop has not been up to the average this year, 

 with the result that prices paid for those offered 

 for sale are exceedingly high. Grapes were 

 moderately supplied last month, good qualities 

 T-ealising high prices. 



Large quantities of flower^? offered for sale 

 last month, and prices as usual.
