In these days, when the wholesale destruction of native bush associated with the pioneering period has hardly ceased and a proper appreciation ot New Zealand flora is limited, it is refreshing to discover that an Invercargill property owner is sufficiently . an exception to make a pecuniary sacrifice in this respect (says* the “.Southland Times”). Growing in the section, where he was erecting a house, was a fine cabbage tree in such a position that it either had to he* removed to permit of the* erection of the building or unusual steps* taken for its preservation. The property owner ro.se to. the occasion and built the house in the form of a “IT,” the two wings enclosing the plot in which the cabbage tree will probably long flourish as a* tangible tribute* to his appreciation of beauty.
