NATIVE TREES
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —It was with interest that I read your article regarding native trees and shrubs planted outside the Defence Service Building on the corner of Feather^ton and Bunny Streets. Although not New Zealanders, ray family and I are very interested in everything native. It is surprising the number of New Zealanders who are unable to recognise a rimu, a totara, or a miro. We have all these and many others in our small suburban garden, all of them having bean planted by ourselves. In the Botanical Gardens there is an interesting corner, near the fernery, containing many native trees, but I have never been able to understand why they are labelled with only their Latin names, and not native ones as well. —I am, etc., EX-TARARUA TRAMPING CLUB
MEMBER,
