This month's cover
Flowering fyowhai at Waipiro Bay is the subject of this month’s cover, which has been reproduced from a naturalcolour photograph bp National Publicity Studios, Unusually colourful among native trees, the fyowhai flowers in early spring in northern districts, a feature of the species being that it is deciduous and the flowers appear before the leaves. Waipiro Bay is 69 miles north-east by road from Cisborne and is one of the settlements of the extensive sheep farming area around East Cape, most of which was developed from heavy bush, pastures being surface sown after the trees had been felled and burnt.
