NEW ZEALAND TREES.
(To the RJitor ) Sir, —In your report of my lecture on Xew Zealand trees there is an error. It says the \ cronjeas are the most tropical of trees. It should he "typical." The plants are missing from the tropic belt. As with the eucaiypts of Australia and firs and pines of Canada, they are our most representative plants. We have about one hundred speci&s. Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, nas a toed of about forty kinds; Hagley Park, Christchurch, another of atjout fifty. They grow readily from slips and it would be easy to get cuttings from these places and have a small area only a few yards square in Albert Park planted with them. Ii labelled and described, they ] would be a great attraction, not only to visitors, but to our town people.—l am, etc., J. W. POYXTOX.
