OUR VERY OWN.
The oak, the ash, and the weeping willow tree, They all grow green in the Old Countree. Yes! but not solely in the Old Country, as the flora of Britain is found as a native generally throughout Europe. Contrast this with our own native flora, three pai'ts of which is native to no other country, and is therefore entirely New Zealand. Such a fact, together with its great economic value, should be sufficient to encourage the keenest desire to preserve it whenever possible in its native condition.
