HPHH WiHHY FIfPPRTC cAy ARfIIST Mr Kirk (the Government Director of Orchards), writes as follows :— " The beautiful long, gentle slopes to the north are all that can be desired. I had a mattock with me, and examined the soil in numerous places, and found it just the land for fruit growing, especially Commercial Apple Culture." Mr Frank Walker (the Tasmanian Fruit Expert} writes as follows: — ''The position and exposure are excellent, and will produce highlycoloreil fruit. The land is very similar to our best fruit land in Tasmania. At Bronte there are wide areas that can be planted at a small preparatory cost. With my experience in Tasmania; I have no hesitation in saying that this property can be made a very profitable f ruit-giowing centre." The Owners of BRONTE are asking very reasonable prices for the land, and the terms are exceptionally easy, viz., 10 per cent, cash, the balance for 5 years at 5 per cent' with right to repay at any time.
