Growing in the garden of Mr Edward F. Bradley, at Takahue. near Kaitaia, are three coffee plants, believed to be the first ever grown in North Auckland. After more than a score of failures, in which seed from Fiji. San Salvador. Mexico, Cuba. Jamaica and Venezuela was tried. Mr Bradley at length obtained samples of seed from the coffee ranch of Senor Frederico Yui Shan, located in the Valley of the Angels. Honduras. From this seed the plants were grown. They are now about a foot high and it will be interesting to see if they arrive at maturity and' whether the northern climate is sufficiently warm for the trees to bear.
