Kkadkks uf Jiasji CiAiJDKMXu iiiiist fiiid it rutln'i- 

 iiioiiotoiioiis to read in this rt'poit. riiontli after 

 luontli, tiip same okl story, the shortage of vegt't- 

 ahles. Yet the iiiouotoiiy iinisl be feltfar {greater 

 l>y the many poor in ])u'l)liii wlio liave to do with- 

 out vegetahlos on account of their scarcity and 

 liigJi prices. This scarcity luis been very notice- 

 able during the past month, especially in the 

 supply of Cabbages and Cauliflowers. Any 

 Cabbages i-upplied were of poor quality. Cauli- 

 flowt;rs are not quite so scarce as tliey a])peared 

 to be early in the month; they were coming along 

 .steadily through the mild wintcM- when the severe 

 spring frost called a halt, and for some time sinc(> 

 there has been a sort of mark-time growth, which 

 left a much felt gap in the supply. The variety 

 of other vegetable- is steadily increasing witli the 

 season, and good prices are obtainable, especially 

 for Asparagus, Seakale. Lettuce, Panslev, Spinach 

 &e. ■ ■ 



Apples are coming from overseas in larger 

 quantities than formerly. There is jnst an odd 

 box now and again of home-grown .Vpples, and 

 these are always of inferior qnality. 



Flowers were fairly well supplied and always 

 found ready sale.
