The home of the pinus insign is so well known in New Zealand is on a peninsula near Monterey, California, said Mr T. C. List, in an address at New Plymouth. Curiously enough the trees did not attain half the size and height in their native habitat as they did in the Dominion. In California, the miro. taupata, tarata, matipo and other New Zealand native shrubs and trees can be seen in gardens quite frequently. The Australian gum tree had also become so common that California almost claimed U as n native of the State. A farm of over 700 acres in the Oroua district has been bought by a well-known Rangitikei settler for £24 an acre cash. Although only aboit half what the property realised some years back, the fact that a cash purchase of this size has been made shows confidence that the markets for farmers' products will further unprove.
