BEAUTIFYING AUCKLAND'S RAILWAY TERMINAL: RAISING PLANTS AT THE STATION NURSERY One of the finest displays of native shrubs and trees in or about Auckland may be seen at the Auckland Railway Station, where, in spite of cold sea breezes and engine smoke, the plants do remarkably well.

Right: Seedlings hardening out in frames on the roof nursery.
