A CONSTANT SUPPLY OF WATER, ERTJITLANDS • ic-.should prove ONE OF THE FINEST FRUIT-GROWING AREAS IN OTAGO. THE PROPERTY . Has been reported upon most fully by Mr tf. C. BLACKMORE - ; , (Ex-Government Pomologist), The First Authority on Fruitgrowing in New Zealand, and his report is in every way ■complimentary. Amongst qjher 1 things he says: , “ Fnritlands possesses a fine climate—one of the best; a responsive soil, one rich in_potash and phosphoric acid, two of the essentials of plant food, and an abundant water .supply. It is also well adapted for subdivision for Fruit-growing purposes, for Market 'Gardening, or Dairying, having such a splendid supply of water for growing Roots and ■other Forage Crops.” : ADAPTABILITY OF FRUITLANDS FOR FRUIT CULTURE. K’t It is always a surprise to people unacquainted with ihe climate and soil of many of the dry districts of Central Otago to be told that the whoie of the staple Fruits mrow there in great perfection. This surprise is often so ereat that it generates into doubt, end can only bo removed by ocular demonstration. If one will only take the trouble, however, to ascertain what is needed for the production of the Apricot, Cherry, Plum, .VPear, Apple, and the various Small Fruits and Nuts, he will find that this portion of the ■ ■ Dominion possesses these requirements to such a degree as to make it an ideal climate for that purpose. v SPEARCRASS VACtEY, ON WHICH FRUITLANDS IS SITUATED, : i ;: IS NO EXCEPTION. adapted for the culture of the whole of the kinds of Fruit enumerated. Mir J. 0. BLACKMORE ri- •■fprthcr-«tates:’ “I should not omit to make reference to the Fruit Trees growing in • : .Vicinity of FruMands on Mr R. Syme’s property. All kinds of Fruit Trees yield he crops. The Apricote grown here are equal in quality to those that arc grown in the n i ' favored districts. Mr M’Gettigan, a near neighbor, grows in the open air Grapes Vgood quality, the berries of which aro' well colored and nicely flavored.” I-, Now, Mr BLACKMORE fS3 THE RECOGNISED HIGHEST AUTHORITY ON FRUIT CULTURE, and as 1 PERSONALLY INSPECTED THIS PROPERTY, rand, as he is careful to state, “has no interests whatever in the proposition or property ' THOSE DESIRING FRUIT FARMS - should mos£ certainly obtain (free of charge) a full copv of his report, and this can 5 «“ done by ; . MERELY WRITING US FOR SAME. “■ '.He makes a suggestion which is of such importance that IT IS GOING TO BE CAI D HIED INTO EFFECT, and this is: | c - “IN SEASONS OF GREAT PLENTY I ’ much fnrit goes to waste in all fruit-growing districts, owing to provision not having 1 .; .made for utilisation by MODERN METHODS OF CANNING or EVAPORATION.” Section 28 of the Subdivision, containing Stone Building formerly used as an Ho WILL BE RESERVED FROM SALE, as it is specially suited for a Cannery, and provided that within two veats from the d ot sale settlers form an association or company for the purpose of” usinv the build for a cannery or factory the freehold and buildings can be purchased ° . ‘ FOR THIS PURPOSE. f£2 NOTE THE TERMS OF SALE: pee acre deposit.
