A PLEA FOR TREE PLANTING.
Before Arbor Day comes and goes again permit 1110 to put in an earnest plea to :il! property owners ancl even to tenants to plant at least one tree tliis winter. If there is not room for a gum, a pinus or a macroearpa, then let it be a lemon or an orange tree. If there is room what is more beautiful than a dear old pohutukawa? Another beautiful tree is .a flowering gum and any eucalyptus tree is a healthy thing about the place. People with larger areas than the ordinary cnttase site would do well to plant macrocarp-.i. It is an excellent shelter tree and makes good lasting fence posts. It is a first-class building timber, but as a rule the trunk is too full of knots for milling. TREE-LOVING PROPERTY OWNER
