tion as received, and the various lots were despatclied in good time. 

 In all 448 applications were received, and 6,870 plants were supplied. 

 Many applicaDts asked for plants such as grafted nutmegs and choice 

 jruits that were never intended for free distribution, and others asked 

 for many hundreds of plants of various kinds ; but the kinds and num- 

 bers sent to each applicant had to be carefully considered, so that all 

 should be able to participate, and that there should be no suggestion 

 of favouritism. 



The selecting, naming, packing and despatching of these plants at 

 short notice caused a great deal of extra work and considerable expense, 

 and it is hoped that this effort to encourage the planting of trees will 

 be appreciated, and will have a good effect.
