Tho operations of this Company will consist of thd Growinpr of Apples on an extensive scale, with tho object not only of supplying the local markot, but also of exporting cnolco varieties of dessert fruit to England and America, and it may bo, other countries north of tho line. Owing to tho dlfforenco of seasons in tho two hernia phers, tho Company w6uld bo in a position to oiler the fruit consumers of those countries fresh apples at any tlmo of tho year, when their local supply would bo almost exhausted, LAND. . Tho land to bo taken over by the Company consists of 22G acres, on tho east bank of the Tamaki Hiver, being lots 43, and part of lots 12 and 16, Parish of PaKurantta; flrat-class agricul tural land, fenced, drained, and well cultivated. Price, J32sanaore. Tho terms of paymentare exceptionally favour able to tho Company—namely, £650 deposit, the balance to remain at 7 por cent, per annum for a term of flvo years, when, if tho Company is not in a position to pay it off out of tho profits, after payment of dividends averaging 10 per cent por annum to shareholdoas on paid-up oapital, the rate of interest will bo reduced to 5 poroent per annum, and remain at that until the Company can so pay it. TURKS. Those woro selected and secured early In tho season, and are the piok of the local nurseries— being as fine an assortment as could be procured under tho most favourable conditions. Tho prlco will averago about 9d each. Ages ranging from ono to five years: principally two yoars old. Over fifty thousand secured for this soa- Bon's planting. Tho cost to tho Company of tho Orchard, whon fully planted at 10 fost apart (500 troes per aore), will amount to 2a fid per troo, including land and all other exponses.* Allowing £6 6s par aero for culturo, intorost, and expenses the first year, will bring tho cost up to 2s s<i per tree. Tho system of close planting and thorough cultivation Intended to be adopted' by the Com- Eiy has been I proved by actual esperienoo bly conducive to early and heavy bearing. 1 consequently tho realisation of quick and profitable returns. Tho following statement will show the difference in first cost por troe under tho system of planting, as compared with that ordinarily adopted. ' 600 TREES PER AORK 10 FKET APART QUINOUNX ORDKR.

The .third year an averagotif 6d worth of fruit per. troo will provido for £8 6s 8d por aore expenses, and a dividend of 12 por cent. Tho fourth year an averago uf is worth of fruit tat treo will pro vido for expenses at the liberal rate of £1510s por aero, and allow a dividend of 25 per cent. t Clause i of the Regulations unedr too above named Act reads thus:—"!. Tho trees maybe of any description, and tho number planted must be at tho rate of not loss than live hundred per aero." t The allowance made in this estimate of an averago of 3d worth of fruit por troe, the second year; cd tho third; 13 tho fourth, and Sis tho fifth, is considered absurdly low by many practical growers, and it may be as well to mention that while those quantities aro used In this estimato, there is every reason to believe that they will prove far below actual results, and that tho returns will warrant the payment of dlvidonds oven greater than Is herein calcu lated upon—for instance, if the returns exceed any of tho above-named avoragee by twopence worth of fruit por tree, it would bo equivalent to an additional twelve per cent, dividend. Nothing at all is allowed in this estimate for tho increased value of the land and stock (only the aotual returns in fruit being taken into account), but tho profit from this source alone would be very considerable, and thoro Is no extravagance in the assumption that in five yean time from the commencement, tho capital value of each tree, with tho gronnd It occupied, would stand ac not less'than five shilllnga, representing a profit of moro than 22s Gd pur share, oioluaivoof profits from sale of fruit. 1 Tho fifth'year an average of 2s worth of fruit por treo will cover expenses at tho rate of £18 15s por aero, provido Jor tho balanco of the pur chase, mouey of the laud (£S,000), besides pay ment of a dividend of 16 per cent. Every pennyworth of fruit per treo over and , above expenditure will yield a profit of 6 per cent on paid-up capital. Supposing, then, from this period forward £25 per acre (one shilling per troo) is allowed for exponses, every addi tional shilling's worth of fruit per tree will give a profit of 72 (sovonty-two) per cent, on paid-up capital. Approximately, each share will entitle tho holder to tho produce or profits from five trees, after deducting proportionate expenses for culture and care. As the possibility of disposing of such quanti ties of fruit as an orchard of this bihj would produoo has been questioned, it may bo as well to draw attention: to tho rapidly increasing faci lities for sending not only moat, but fresh frnit, to tho London and Continental markets, and also to the fact that within 40 days of being gathered in our autumn, our apples may bo pluood on the Covont Garden fruit stalls in the English Spring. Packed in cool cham bers adjacent to the frozen meat compartments in the direct Bteamers, the fruit will keep much fresher than if stored for the same length of time in Now Zealand Anyone acquainted, with London markets need not bo informed of tho ready bolo and high prices obtainable for any thing in tho shape of fresh fruit out of tho ordinary English season. The Californian market also Is one not to bo despisod, A popu lation accustomed to oonsnming apples largely during ton months of the year must provo good customers during tho other two, when then: own snpply runs out and ours comes in. Tho opening of tho Panama Canal is also ex pected to take place in about fivo or six years, by which time this Company should be in a position to forward by it largo quantities of fruit.. Its oponing will bring, praotically, to our doors, an unlimited market for Auok land-grown fruit, not only in London, but in all tho large cities of the Eastern States of America and tho Continent of Europe, No apprehension need therefore bo felt as regards a market for our produoe, nor from competition in supplying that markot. There is ovory reason to anticipate that this undertaking will provo so highly profitable to its shareholders that it will become the nucleus of one of tho largest and most Important indus tries yet developed in Auokland. Further particulars may bo had and Sharo List inspected at the Oiflco of the Company. J. T. MELVILLE, - - ■ Hoc pro tern. Oilicea: Over Goodson's London Arcade, Queen-street. 00 KE & VfiuWNSHEND.
