The Auctioneers, in drawing the notice of intending purchasers to the sale of tfcese undoubtedly magnificent Farms, would point out that, the Spylaw Estate is situate on the north-west side of the well-known wheat-growing Crookston district, within one mile of the Heriot Railway Station. It ia notsouthof Dunedin but on the same parallel, us may be seen from any map of Otngo; is wellsheltered from the southwest winds, and the climate is decidedly warmer than on the Coast line. The extension of the railway line, which it is expected will take place almost immediately, will pass through the centre of the property. To show the high esteem in which land in the Orookston district is held, it may be aientioned that there is not a single aeotion of Crown land available for settlement. For the growth of wheat, oats, grasses, and root crops tho laud cannot be excelled, and it is th> opinion of competent authorities that the Varms to be offered are equal in many respects to Iho 1 ! nmaru limestone lands and the famous Taieri Plain. 'I he facilities for working iho f.irms are quito exceptional — the soil is first-rlass and very easily worlird timber for lenning and building is cheap and good, coal is obtainable at a \ery 'ensonahle cost; a< d t.ht proximity to the Heriot ltailway Station is another great advautagft, as it enables cultivators to rail their produce or live Btock to market or shipping port at small expense. From Dunedin the Spylaw Estate is distant 100 miles, and from the Bluff 87 milee. The property will be offered cither as a whole, or in eight lots as ab^ve. at the option of buyers, and Mr Clarke does not look tor any •• fancy prices." It ia his intention to accept values in accordance with the " times," so thatPno bona fide purchaser need fear that the land will not be soid unless high prices are obtained.
