Mr. Frick was born in Germany, in 1840, and was educated in his Fatherland, from which he emigrated to Melbourne in 1859, but subsequently went on to Sydney, where he was employed in the Botanical Gardens for three years. In 1863 he came to New Zealand, and on arrival in Auckland joined the 3rd Waikato Regiment as lance sergeant under Colonel Lyons. After three years' service in the Waikato, Mr. Frick enlisted with the Hawke's Bay military settlers for two or three years. In 1868 he returned to Auckland, and after varied experience commenced business for himself as a nurseryman. The Bayfield nursery is well situated, and consists of between three and four acres laid out in nursery stock, etc. There is a strawberry garden of one acre in extent, and the fruit is supplied to the leading, fruiterers of the city.
