Mr. J. Young, curator of the Christchurch Public Gardens, speaks enthusiastically of the State Forest Service’s station at Balmoral, which he visited last week (reports the "Lyttelton Times”). He is surprised at the extent of lhe operations. and he is convinced that the results will be of great value to the community. He saw a large area that has been planted. In the nursery there are about 5.000,000 seedlings. A feature of the station that impressed him particularly is that pinus laricio, and the American cedar, and the famous redwood are growing naturally without artificial water. He states that good work is being done at Hamner also.
