King Boris of Bulgaria has Royal rights over the biggest rose garden in the world. It is about 40 miles long and 10 broad. The peasants of nearly 200 villages cultivate it. Their womenfolk get up before dawn to strip it. When a gentle breeze blows they say that its scent penetrates far beyond the Thracian plain in which it is situated. It is this garden which yields tho world-famous attar of roses, that luscious perfume which, in olden times, Persian Shahs commanded should be used exclusively in their harems. This, even to-day in India, is offered to wedding guests on a little twisted cotton at the end of a short stick. "Not a thing was broken —not even my delicate china and costly glass I" This is a brief, pleasing message from a client whose belongings we shifted. Just in the same careful way we'll do your removal work at a very" moderate cost. Estimates gladly given at our own offices in the chief towns. The New Zealand Express Co., Ltd. —5
