Nicholls,' a well-known wool-buyer, of'' Bel; fast, North' Canterbury, N.Z., while visjting Nairn and Sons' NurseryV wdre a buttonhole of a crimson .manuka.. The firm at once recognised a new thing, and asked its whereabouts, and if it could- lie procured. This,however, was a secret, and all the information tendered- by Mr - N icholls - was • that' : original' plant was growmiß"'in the manuka' scrub between ; Chaney's Corner ahd the sea'. Messrs Nairn, however, would; not be put' off, and asked for cuttings, which; were sup-; plied by Mr Nicholls. These 'cuttings, however, were Useless for striking purposes, as the growth was too hard, and only one or swo plants were raised, : and ■ 'these • Were stunted in growth. On * branch brought, however, there were some seeds,'which were sown, and as a result some 110.plants were raised. These, with the exception of seven, showed in their growth similar character to the old variety of manuka, and later when in bloom were mostly white. The' exceptions, however, showed dark reddish foliage, and a difference in habit. When in bloom they proved to be crimson in colour, and from one of these (the best variety) the :now. famous Leptospermum Nichollii ha-s been named and. introduced into the • horticultural -world. To Nairn and Son* the honour of distri- . buting this plant to the world can be accorded. Quite a number of plants been delivered in England, where it is much sought after. In New Zealand thousands.of plants have been supplied from bur .Nursery. STRONG PLANTS, in, Pols, '2/6 each. „ NAIRN & SONS,, Lincpln Road, Chch.
