A Manuka Nursery.
Manuka, which is a pest in most places, is useful to the New Brighton Borough Council, which is considering planting it. The council uses manuka extensively for wind-breaks along the sund-dunes of the foreshore, and at a recent meeting it instructed its reserves committee to report on establishing a manuka nursery to provide a supply for later setting out in plantations. A Peculiar Marrow. An amateur gardener living at Burwood, Christchurch, has growing in his garden a three-barrelled vegetable marrow. All three marrows grow from a common stem and are joined together. Mr R. Mortiboy, who planted the seeds, said that there was nothing special about them as far as he knew, and he was as surprised as anyone to find that triplets resulted.
