To the Editor of the New-Zealander.
Waitemate Mills, 26th April, 1862. Sir, —A friend of mine has sent me a sample of his growing of mangolds, with the enclosed letter, which you will oblige me by giving a place in your paper. The roots will be seen in Lamb and Mcl\ .n’s Store, Queen-street. —Yours truly, / John Lamb. Northern Division, 21st April, 1862. Sir,—l send you specimens of mangold wurzel, grown on land cleared in 1861. I also send a pie melon. I never grew any mangolds before this year in New Zealand, and I am anxious you would take the trouble of showing these roots to some of your farmer friends, and ask them whether they consider these roots to be of an average size or not; and I should like to know if land that produces roots of this site, without any manure, can be reckoned worthy the acceptance of the class of emigrants to which I belong.— Yours, &c., An Unfortunate 40-acre Man. P.S. —I may mention that these mangolds weighed only 43lbs. when taken up.
