IRISH GARDENING 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



DuRlXfi the month the sui^ply of vegetables was 

 hardly equal to the demand ; keen rival i-y was 

 noticeable among l)uyerstill a clearance ol' almost 

 every commodily was effected. Apparently tlie 

 supplies might be increased a good deal without 

 causing any abatement in prices. Tlie market 

 was largely stocked with certain vegetables — 

 Brussels Sprouts, White Turnips, and C"a.l)bage. 

 CaiUi flowers were not so plentifid, and prices 

 ran liigli accordingly. liome-grown Onions were 

 rather scarce early in the month, and towards 

 the end they had almost disappeared. It is 

 lamentable to know tliat, in the Dublin market, 

 where Onions find such ready sale, there are none 

 to be seen but a few that grew in Spain. The 

 controlled price is well over 5s. per stone, and 

 anyone wlu) hnds Onions unprofitable must know 

 very little about economy in producing tliem. 

 Letliice and Tomatoes are becoming scarcer than 

 they were early in tlie month, and their prices 

 have increased by doidjle. Parsnips and Beet 

 are .scarce and fetching good prices. 



Apples were coming in steadily, but the 

 demand was greater than the supply. Later in 

 the month there was a good deal of confusion 

 owing to the piice of Apples being controlled. 

 If growers had known it in time there would be 

 more confusion trying to get their stuff sold 

 before they were " sat on." It is expected that 

 there will be a more plentiful supply of Apples 

 soon, now that the good old plan of hoarding 

 them up till "they're worth their weight in 

 goold," has proved a failure. 



The bulk of the flowers offered for sale was 

 Chrysanthemums, and tliey realized high prices 

 nil tlirough tlie month.
