MR. W. J. PERCY
The death of Mr. Walter John Percy a member of the well-known family in the Hutt Valley, occurred yesterday. The late Mr. Percy was born in Petone 73 years ago. He was the son of the late Mr. Joseph Percy and was educated at the state school in Lower Hutt. Early in his career he was a builder and contractor, and with his brothers built quite a number of the houses in the Hutt Valley in the early days. He was once a keen cricketer, rifle shot, and fisherman. He had been retired for a considerable number of years, and with his brothers lived on a beautiful property above the Hutt Road. He was of a retiring disposition and of strong conservative political principles. He was a single man and was survived by two brothers, Messrs. William and Arthur Percy.
The Percy brothers have perhaps the finest collection of native flora to be found in one area in the Dominion, and the collection and preservation of native flora was an absorbing passion in the life of the late Mr. Percy. No trouble or expense was too great for him in obtaining new specimens, and not only specimens from the whole of New Zealand, but rare specimens from the outlying islands are among the collection on the hillside at Petone. On one occasion he and his brothers watched over two rare seeds for three years, and felt amply rewarded when at last one of them germinated. The late Mr. Percy was the promoter of a recent petition to Parliament, asking that it be made a penal offence for anyone to destroy native flora by taking it from its natural habitat.

PROTECTION OF NATIVE FLORA
A correspondent, A. D. Beddie, referring to a letter by Mr. Nicoll on the protection of native flora, states that credit should be given for the work of the late Walter John Percy, who was the first to take up the cause and spent months collecting names for a petition to Parliament.
