“The native bush is regarded by expert botanists as being the most attractive and botanically interesting in the whole of the world,” said the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, at the opening of the A. G. Simpson Domain, Kaiharangi (reports the “Rangitikei Advocate”). “Something like 85 per cent of the whole of the native bush plants are to be found only in New Zealand and in the islands adjacent to her coast. They are exceedingly beautiful as compared with the native bush of other countries. New Zealand is a. botanist’s paradise, but it will not enjoy that reputation unless the bush is preserved.” .

Start 1933 with new Carpets and Curtainettes. The year to come calls for brightness and what better than new Carpets and Curtainettes. Remember, we are home specialists in making beautiful homes, and we have chosen Carpets and Curtainettes, not only to increase our business, but to increase our reputation for good taste. S.
