NATIONAL GARDENS
WELLINGTON SUGGESTED FOR MAIN SITE [Pan United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, August 23. At tho annual conference of Hie Institute of Horticulture, _ the National Botanic Gardens Committee reported that it had considered Dr Hill’s report, and was of opinion that the main garden, primarily for tho growth of indigenous plants, but also for a representative series of exotic plants, should be established in tho neighbourhood of Wellington. The suggestion wag made that Wilton’s Bush and certain adjacent areas might, by arrangement with Wellington City Corporation, be developed and administered as a national botanic garden by the Government. The following remits from tho Auckland District Council wore approved:— That the institute supports the principle of tho establishment of an a'gnculural high school in tho vicinity ol Auckland rather than a technical or grammar school; that conference should take steps to have Waipua forest placed under the control of the Scenery Preservation Board or other authority for permanent reservation.
