MAKIKI STATION. 



The work done at this station has been principally routine. We 

 have now got a good stock of trees on hand and shall be able to fill all 

 orders, with the exception of the very large ones which require notice to 

 be given in advance. 



HONOLULU WATERSHED PLANTING. 



At the top of Opu Valley 548 koa trees were planted. Other work 

 done consisted in making holes and clearing off. 



TREE PLANTING AT SCHOFIELD BARRACKS. 



The beautifying of the Post by the setting out of trees and other 

 plants is a very creditable piece of work and will in years to come, 

 there is no doubt, reflect back on the foresightedness and good judg- 

 ment of the present commander, General Heard. Captain Atkinson is 

 superintending the work and the great interest .he is taking in the lay- 

 ing out and beautifying of the post shows that he is heart and soul 

 in the work. Since the beginning of the year we have delivered to 

 Schofield Barracks over 20.000 trees and numerous other cuttings and 

 plants. The new nursery started at the post a few months ago is 

 getting stocked with vines and shrubs of all kinds, also a large assort- 

 ment of annuals and cut flowers. The tree nursery at another part of 

 the post has thousands of trees of different kinds transplanted into tin 

 cans awaiting the time for planting out. The splendid example shown 

 by General Heard and Captain Atkinson we hope will be the means of 

 stimulating the interest in tree planting not only by the commanders of 

 the other posts but by homesteaders and others who may have waste 

 land not otherwise in cultivation.
