Bulletin of the New York Botanical 

 Garden. 



N'oLUMK 10, No. o7, contains the annual repoit of 

 the Director, Curators. &c., of this fine establish- 

 ment, and discloses a record of work and progress 

 of whicli the citizens of New York have reason to 

 \>v pioud. In spite of war difficulties the work of 

 the garden, practical and scientific, has l)een 

 carried on with miabated zeal. Certain curtail- 



ments were necessary on account of the absence 

 of meuiljers of the staff on war service but. gener- 

 ally speaking, progress has been well maintained, 

 and it is a pleasure to read of the excellent wiik 

 done in uuiintaining and extending the horticul- 

 tural side, which is of supreme im])ortance to the 

 general public; while scientific research, coupled 

 with the important work of exploration, 'us added 

 nuich to the knowledge of plants and their uses. 

 The individual reports by responsible members 

 of the staff are immensely interesting and inspir- 

 ing, and it is essentially gratifying to learn of 

 the continued interest in the gardens of il-.r 

 wealthy citizens, and we congratulate the 

 Director on the success of his efforts and those of 

 his staff. 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



During the month the supply of vegetables wa.s 

 not what might l)e expected for the time of year. 

 Owing to the dry weather such vegetables as 

 Cabbages, J,ettuce, Spinach, and all soft growing 

 stuff have been very much retarded in growth ; 

 however, the supply was not bad considering the 

 jjrevailing circumstances. There were some Peas 

 of medium quality which sold at handsome prices. 

 Rhubarb was supplied in large quantities and yet 

 the price of same has kept at a comparatively higli 

 figure. Early Potatoes were not exceptionally 

 good and the prices realised would hardly justify 

 one in digging the crop. Turnips have become 

 very scarce and their prices have gone up in leaps 

 and l)Ounds. Scallions were plentiful and sold 

 readily. Radishes and pot herbs were steadily 

 supplied and always met with a ready demand. 

 The fruit section was limited to Strawljerries
