The titoki, nr Now Zealand oak, as it is called, grows along the sheltered spots on our roadsides- and in many town gardens, .lust, now its clusters of dark green capsules cover the hunches of fruit which will literally open their eyes next month. Among all the fruits of this country, at least, it may claim distinction in beauty. About the size of a large raspberry, of more brilliant red. it has a bright stone on one side, clear and black like the eye of a bird. Possibly there ?s no other known fruit which carries its kernal on the outside. -—Mana\v«tu Times.
