THE GARDEN OF NEW ZEALAND.
The 11 Taranaki Herald ” says there is not a place on the face of the earth that can excel for its climate the district of Taranaki. The following is given as a proof : —“ Mr lluikc’s garden is a pretty sight: and he has four camelia trees which he says he will defy anyone to beat for size. One is Oft Gin high by 34ft, in circumference ; another 12ft high by 40 feet in circumference ; a third 14ft high by 45ft in circumference, and a fourth 18ft high by 50ft in circumference, besides over a dozen others from 6ft to 10ft in heighth, the circumrance being in proportion. Mr Hulke has just finished gathering his first crop of guavas ; and the second crop from the same tree will be ripe in a mouths time. His first crop of citrons is now ready for gathering, and it is quite a curiosity to see the large swollen green fruit and the bloom of a second crop on the same tree. A lemon tree is now covered with bloom, the ripe fruit having been just picked.”
