A BULLER DAM.
(Per Press Association.)
Woslpoit, last night. A huge mountain slide has blocked tho Duller river above LyeD, forming a dam.
During the past few years a number of new varieties of potatoes have appeared on the market, but it has remained for Mr G. H. Carter, of Wade, Auckland, to introduce Tho Star of New Zealand, which is the result of careful propagation, tested and cultivated during the past five years, and which can now confidently be claimed to be one of the most perfect varieties ever shown. Brieliy put, its claims for this exalted position aie that it is disease-resisting and easily dug, as its tubers are clustered together, anearly and prolific cropper, constitutionally strong, good cooker, and has shallow eyes It is confidently expected that it will obtain the coveted prize of the British Royal Horticultural Society, and arrangements have been made for cabling the result to Messrs Arthur Yates and Co., of Auckland, who have bought all available seed for the coming season at a price running into four figures.
