TEA PUNT IN WHANGAREI
FLOURISHES EXCEEDINGLY. A reporter of the “Northern Advocate’ ’ the other day made a special trip to a residence in Mill Road, where; it was stated, the tea plant was .growing luxuriantly. He was shown a most flourishing sample, greatly overgrown, but perfectly healthy. It is of the camellia family, and shows a small white flower. Strangely, by coincidence, on the same day, a gentleman from Ceylon went up to “Wairere,” Mr Bobbie’s place in Mill Road, as he had heard that the tea plant was growing there. He found a regular hedge of it, also vastly overgrown, but it was the real thing that has made the wealth of Ceylon. This shows what a variety of useful plants Whangarei can grow.
