Richest Farming Land. Easiest Terms. Golden Opportunity LAND FOR THE LANDLESS. An opportunity to secure from 20 to 00 acres of first-class cropping, dairying, seed growing, lucerne growing, or fruit land on the very easiest terms offered in any part of tlie world. This Land Will Grow WHEAT, BARLEY, PEAS, OATS, LUCERNE BEANS, ONIONS, POTATOES AND FRUIT To Perfection The subdivision of W. Dick, Esq.'s property, situate at Lower Wairau, Marlborough, 4 miles from Blenheim, under THE LAND SETTLEMENT FINANCE ACT 1908' \ The terms are such that any bachelor with £4OO or any married man with £SOO in cash is eligible and able to purchase a block of from 20 to 60 acre 6 of this, the finest agricultural land to be obtained in the Dominion. SITUATION. The property is situated on a good metalled flat road, four miles from Blenheim. It would be a simple matter for a tradesman, shop assistant, or worker of any kind, to hold one or more of the blocks offered, and still attend to his ordinary avocation. There is a school within half a mile of the property. THE LAND. As to what the land is we can safely assert that it iB absolutely cheap at the price offered. It is magnificent agricultural land and will grow any cereal crop. It is splendid lucerne land, as is evidenced by a paddock now down, and it is a first-class dairying land. It will I grow fruit to perfection. The late Dr. j Home's homestead adjoining it was | noted for its wonderful orchard, and the fruit now growing on the property further exemplifies this fact. The land is eminently suitable for market gardening, all root cropß thrive splendidly, and for vegetables the soil is superb. The present owner has regularly grown crops of 70 bushlcs of barley, 4% tons of chaff, and 52 bushels of peas to the acre, and the previous owner has had Bplendid wheat crops. We assert without fear of contradiction that the land is eminently suitable for any crop, and will grow any crop practically to perfection. We assert that for dairying it will in grass carry a cow to 1% acres, and if lucerne is grown, it will carry far more. Wo assert that for onions, potatoes, beans, any seed crop, and for vegetables of any description, the property is beyond reproach, whilst for fruit of anv description it js practically unbeatable. THE PRICE. The prices of the sections vary from—£27 TO £4l P cr aere - THE TERMS Each purchaser must pay in cash a sum equal, to—--6 per cent, of his purchase money. Assume yon purchase a 20-acre section at £4O per acre— £BOO. Your deposit would be £4B. Assume you purchase a 60 acre section at £4O per acre—£2,4oo. Your deposit would be £144. There are no large annual payments : n reduction of your purchase money. Apart from your deposit, you have simply to pay annually Interest at 5 per cent. To the Public Trustee '/i per cent. Sinking Fund % per cent. A total annually of 6 per cent. This can go on for 20 YEARS. These terms are the best in the world. BLENHEIM S FUTURE That Blenheim is progressing is undoubted, and linked up and assisted by its advancement, the value of small farms in the vicinity must increase. A butter factory is to be erected at Thurston this coming winter, and will be completed and ready for work by next spring. A bacon factory is to be erected near Riverlands immediately. These two factories will serve to increase the annual profit from small holdings close to Blenheim. Mr. Dick has given us instructions to sell, but the property must be disposed of quickly, otherwise he must proceed with the sowing of his crops for next year. We therefore recommend those who consider the question of taking up one or more of the sections to inspect at the earliest possible moment, and come to a conclusion as to whether they will purchase or not without a moment's delay A DAY LOST MAY MEAN THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS GOT THE SEC TION YOU WANT. We incite inquiries, and will be pleased to ripply the fullest particulars to any bona fide purchasers. GRIFFITHS & SON McLAUCHLAN & GEE Joint Agents, BLENHEIM. Or E.
