GOLDEN BAT ESTATES CO.

Attention is drawn to the advertisement in this issue of the Golden BayEstates, situated at Puramohoi, Takaka/ which has just been subdivided into blocks of from 5 to 150 acres, for fruit farms, at reasonable prices. Golden Bay, it is claimed, will be famous in five years as the home of the most profitable red apple and pear orchards in New Zealand. It is held that there never will bo an over-production of first-class apples for export, from the fact that England, the United States, South America, Prance, Denmark, Australia, and New Zealand import; heavily of apples, although grown in those countries. American Government statistics show that for the last 13 years the apple production was short 280 million cases, as against 20 million increase of" population. Sydney,' Australia, inquired from Mr. Arnold, of North Yakima, Washington, U.S.A.,' last year for 60,000 boxes of apples. He could not fill the order, although he visited all the apple-growing districts of Western America, as everything had been sold. The apple-growing industry in New Zealand appears to have, therefore, a very bright outlook. An old Wellingtonian, Mr. Harry Hooper, of 15 Muigrave Street, has been appointed sole agent for the North Island of the Golden Bay Estates Co, who will be pleased to give intending fruit farm purchasers all information.
