Of tho 'new seedling strawberry, "Illawarra," a writer.in the New South .Wales "Agricultural Gazette," says:— "This strawberry is a seedling grown in. the Illawarra district, where it has proved a heavy cropper, carrying exceptionally large berries. The flesh is a light red colour, and the fruit is firm, of good flavour, carries well, and is splendid for jam-making and conserves. As far as it has been/tried it has shown itself to be a constant and prolific bearer, and it has every appearance of proving a great acquisition to the collection of berries doing well in the Sydney district. The plant is very robust, and has a wealth of foliage." Says the "Manawatu Standard":— "In: pursuance of its scheme for the settlement for returned soldiers on farming areas, the Government has received soveral offers of property in the. lower Manawatu district, which from their liigligradc agricultural and pastoral quality are considered eminently suitable for this purpose. These estates, situated in tho Otaki, Levin, and Foxton-Shannon districts, are now under consideration by the Government, the most important in the last-named locality being the well-known Mouloa property."
