IRISH GARDENING 



Dublin Wholesale Markets. 



Vkgetablks have been rather scarce during the 

 month, and are becoming still more so. Peas and 

 Beans are showing the results of the dry weather, 

 and, in fact, so are all vegetables, more especially 

 Cabbages and Lettuce. The quality of the latter is 

 so poor that there is little demand for it. Cabbages 

 are becoming scarce and dear, as might be e.\- 

 pected. and if the dry weather continues it may 

 reach an unusually high price. The supply of Onions 

 is good, and prices Jess than half the figure they 

 reached this time last year. 



Home-grown Apples are becoming plentiful, and 

 are in good demand— good quality scoring high 

 above the poorly-grown class. Pears are being 

 offered in liberal quantities— mostly Jargonelle— 

 and the price is not so high- as to encourage their 

 cultivation. Peaches are well supplied, but their 

 price has gone very low; not half last year's figure. 

 Grapes are poor in quality on the whole; they have 

 dropped a little in price. 



Flowers are somewhat scarce. The principal 

 features in this section are Carnations, Asters, Gyp- 

 sophylla and Sweet Petis. 



Ferns.— Maidenhair and Mayjors and Aralias arc- 

 eagerly bought up. Lavender may also be included 

 in this section as a dear commodity.
