EDWARD S. LITTLE, ESQ., one of the most outstanding figures in China, who has owned Citrus Plantations in California and South Africa and knows all Australia, has purchased several Sections of the ALDERTON GROUP SETTLEMENT, with a view to making his home here. After spending a week carefully inspecting the property, its possibilities, its unique climate, its environment of lovely blue Mediterranean waters, its cruising and fishing grounds, he writes from Rotorua as follows: February 2, 1925. Dear Mr. Alderton, — After more than 40 years’ residence in China I have come to New Zealand to select a site to which I can retire with my family. It is necessary for my purposes to find a climate that is fairly equable all the year round. I have searched fairly thoroughly the country in and around and north of the city of Auckland, but without finding just what *1 wanted. I was exceedingly fortunate in pav - ing a visit to Kerikeri and the Aiderton Group Settlement Estate. I found there just what suits me and have pleasure in confirming that I have acquired a fairly large block of your land. The climate is superb, and even in the midst of summer I found it invigorating and most refreshing. I was able to walk about all day without fatigue while at night I required all the bedding I could get to keep warm. I am delighted at the evidences 1 saw of the ability of the soil and climate to grow to perfection all kinds of trees, flowers and vegetables. The excellent fishing and boating and opportunities for all kinds of out-door sports and exercise make the position most attractive. I intend to advise any persons retiring from the Far East or India to have a look at this wonderful district before making their final selection for a home. In a word. I am more than satisfied and look forward to added years of healthful life for my wife and myself by residing in this beautiful and most attractive district. Yours sincerely, EDWARD S. LITTLE. Persons wishing to secure Sections in this now popular Settlement should visit it now in mid-summer and see the wonderful growth of the crops, all a deep emerald green, with luxuriant growth. It is the finest climate in the world, proved by the growing of potatoes all the year round, free from frost and without drought—the ideal conditions for citrus growing and producing early crops when things are dearest. Go and see the place—it is the show place of the province to-day, where rich-income homes can be obtained. As a large portion of the land is being reserved for Overseas people, those wanting Sections should make early application. Already the Corporation operating this business has orders in hand, and is committed to the Planting of over 300 acres of Citrus and other fruits this coming planting season, and those wanting land planted this year milst make early arrangements or lose the season.
