As to" wliat the land is we can Eafely assert that it is absolutely cheap at the price offered. It is magnificent agricultural land and will grow any cereal crop. Jt is splendid lucerne land, as is evidenced by a paddock now down, an.l it is a first-class dairying land. It will grow fruit to perfection. The late Or. Home's homestead adjoining it wis noted for its wonderful orchard, and the fruit now growing oil the property further exemplifies this fact. The land is eminently suitable for market gardening, all root crops thrive splendidly, and for vegetables the soil is superb. The present owner has regularly grown crops of 70 bushles of barley, 4 ! / 2 tons of chaff, and 52 bushels of peas to the acre, and the previous owner has had splendid wheat, crops. We assert without fear of contradiction that the land is eminently suitable for any crop, and will grow any crop practically to perfection. We assert tliat for dairying it will in grass carry a cow to l 1 acres, and if lucerne is grown, it will carry far more. We assert that for onions, potatoes, beons, any seed crop, and for vegetables of any description, the property is beyond reproach, whilst for fruit, of any description it is practically unbeatable.
