Mon I ion is frequently in ado in the press of trees coming into bloom at unusual times of the year. There is really nothing very remarkable about this.' Mr E. Blackburn at the present time has n pear tree in lull bloom. This, he says, is due simply to the fact that it was planted late in 'the season and did not come away in the spring. Now, however, with the autumn rain and favourable conditions, it is functioning in the proper manner. It will, however, shortly find the dormant stags upon it “all of a heap.”

“I have in the past not thought a great deal of the Press of the Dominion,” said a New Zealander who returned from Europe recently, “but after my experience in America, and even in 'England, I have changed my views, and cannot now speak too highly of our New Zealand newspapers. lip America the papers ate appalling. ' They give you sensational headings at great length all about divorce eases, murders, and other unsavoury topics, but for real nows that would interest a. person of ordinary education you look in vain. In England I found a* tendency to cater for the ■same class of readers as those for which the American journalist evidently write. There nvas everywhere an absence of information on the topics sane, sensible people discuss. Everything seems to be sacrificed _to the one aim of creating a sensation and giving something 'spicy. As I say, my experience of the papers -of America, and the Old Country, but especially of America, have convinced me that our New Zealand Press is something of which we should be proud.’ ’
