CORRESPONDENCE.
A Warning. [To the Editor W,D, Times,] Sir,—Allow me a few lines in your valuable paper.

Our worthy canvassers will not trade with storekeepers, managers, or gardeners, they lujht shy of men who know as much as themselves, I would therefore warn those about to plant that they can purchase trees double grafted, and many of the same kind for less money, from prac- . tical nurserymen in Maßterton, Wellington or South Island. I am etc., Local Industry,
