Wattle seeds have been distributed by tlie Division of Forestry at 

 various times, the first being sent out in 1886. While California has 

 received the major part of these seeds, they have also been sent to 

 Florida, Texas, iS T ew Mexico, and Arizoua. Owing to a lack of knowl- 

 edge of methods of germinating the seeds, and transplanting the seed- 

 lings, few favorable reports have been received from these Government 

 distributions outside of California, but it is believed that both the 

 golden and black wattles can be grown successfully in the extreme 

 southern part of Texas and in Florida.
