NeV Zealand's Hat of exports. One man, indeed, went so far as to suggest that New Zealanders might turn a few shillings by supplying rosea f rosSen as \ per ex penmen fc for table decoration*, - The poor fellow was quite serious, and spoke ot the * beautiful effects ' whidH • could be obtained by ice-bound noweHs on dinner tables, and eulogised New Zealanders' energy and enterprise ill making use of their resources^ even down to flowei'S. A Northern journal, however, took the experiment less seriously, and suggested tbat it would be much more to the point to Bupply the Old Gountry with ' chunks of sun Ilight and compressed spells of fine .
