The land is almost all equal in quality t< the productive Taieri or Edendale plains, ant the remainder consists of rich sloping ridges of which nearly every acre is ploughable. There is a frontage of eight miles to the Titipua stream, and the property is well sheltered. The whole estate will be put up to auction in lots as originally conveyed by Government, and, in most cases, the purchaser will have the option of purchasing adjoining lots at the same price. The terms are unusually liberal, viz., 10s. cash per acre ; the tending over live years, bearing interest at t'S per cent, per annum. It will be seen that this sale affords a rare opportunity of securing excellent farms which, before they arc paid for, will, in all probability, be worth many times their cost. Purchasers will have j the benefit of deferred payments without the risk of forfeiture under the stringent regulations as to limited area, residence, and improvement, enforced under the Government system. The main road from Invereargill to Dunedin runs through the estate, and there

are two railway stations Edendale and Woodlands—in close proximity, the nearest station being four miles off, whilst the farthest point from a railway station is only seven miles. Sections 33 and 34-, Block V., fencing and to make the most of the water frontage, and the sections similarly situated will he put up in the same way.

On tho Great ."South lload, close to Makikihi Itaihvay Station on the Great South Line, ;>nd contiguous to the properties of Messrs. (r. F. Lovegrove and C. .Bourn, consisting of over GOOD acres of beautiful low downs and valleys of the very best quality of Heavy Wheat Land, subdivided into farms of various sizes, from 100 to 500 acres. The country is so well watered that almost every Farm will have a portion of a running creek in it. Many of the lots are already in great part enclosed with excellent fences, aud each will have a frontage to a public road. The whole of the land is easily worked, and ready for the plough. We visited the Kstate on December 20, just before the rain fell, and, notwithstanding the long drought, the grass and crops showed in excellent condition. We can confidently recommend the property to the notice of intending purchasers, as we know of no better block of land in New Zealand, taking climate and position into consideration. Anyone in want of a really good Farm should inspect this valuable property. The soil is a rich, black mould, on an excellent mellow clay subsoil of great depth. The immense growth of natural grass, and the splendid paddocks of English grass and grain crops, speak for the quality of the land. Plans will shortly be obtainable at our offices ; meantime Mr. Pitman Sherwood will be glad to show intending purchasers a The terms will be liberal.
