No moro dosiroblo sites for residences can be found than on this picturesque peninsula, where any class of sito can bo chosen, oithor upon the slopes of tho surrounding hills or upon tho fiats at thoir baso. An option to purohaso all Mossrs. A. and O.

Forrios. — The oxporionoe of cities like Sydney and Auokland shows that a cheap forry sorvico as a vonturo in itsolf is a lucrative investment, boaidos popularising tho suburb to which it runs. Such a suburb, if not far distant from the parent city, soon becomes sought after, choap faros and choap suburban freeholds forming an irrosistiblo attraction. Tho congested slate of the City of Wollington is becoming moro patent day by day, and many oitizons would gladly reside in a suburb where thoy can obtain a fairsized pioco of land fur a houso and gardon, within reasonable distanco from tho Post Office. This will bo attained by a rogular ferry sorvico to Miramar. Tho soil on tho slopes, as well as on the flats, is excellent for gardens. It is proposed either to lease tho farming rights ovor the unsold land or to carry on tho dairy and sheep farm undor a competent manager until tho land is required for sale. Tho cost of tiie flotation will be paid by the oompany, but no brokerage will bo paid in respect of tho shares and debonturos for which application has already boon mado. The only agreement entered into is contained in a letter from Messrs. A. D. and O. Crawford, dated 24th July, 1899, a copy of which can be scon at the office of tho Brokers. Application for shares will bo received up to 24th August, 1899, but priority of application will bo considered in making allotment. HEDGE PLANTS, GROWN IN THOUSANDS. SAMPLES AT SHOP.
