planting plan inelndes a statement of the species best adapted 

 for the desired purpose in the given localit}^, directions in re- 

 gard to the starting and care of the seedling trees in the nur-

 sary to be given them. When advisable a diagram or sketch

 accompanies the report. 



The services of the agent of the Division of Forestry are 

 without cost to the applicant, but his expenses for traveling 

 from Honolulu to the locality visited and return, and his sub- 

 sistence must be borne by the applicant. When several per- 

 sons on a single isjand are visited on one trip, the cost of the 

 trip will be divided among them. 



As one of the objects of the Division of Forestry in co-operat- 

 ing with the individual planter is to secure the general intro- 

 duction of better methods, the Division reserves the right to 

 publish and distribute the plan and its results for the informa- 

 tion of the public. 



Applications will so far as possible be considered in the order 

 in which they are received, but precedence may be given to 

 those likely to furnish the most useful examples. 



The form of co-operative agreement to be entered into by 

 the individual plantei' and the Division of Forestry is given 

 below. The agreement is not a formidable legal instrument; 

 it is merely a statement of the conditions upon which the 

 planting plan is prepared, and is only drawn up to prevent 

 misunderstandings. It may be cancelled by either party upon 

 ten days' notice:
