The beautifully Jaici-out towns in California charmed Dr. Hight in his travels (says the “Lyttelton Times”). Exotic trees have been planted extensively there, and king of them all, he states, is the eucalypt. Even in Australia lie has not seen such magnificent specimens of that tree as he saw in California He was surprised to see in some streets, growing between the trees, large numbers of New Zealand veronicas. The toetoe seems to be a favourite ornamental plant, and the tea-tree is used for shelter belts in Golden Gate Park. At Salt Lake City Dr Hight was invited to attend a New Zealand dinner. It was given by the executive of the New Zealand Club, which has more than 300 members, all of whom have lived in New Zealand, mostly as teachers or missionaries. During his absence from New Zealand Dr. Hight saw nothing so perfect of its kind as the countryside of Old England.
