Congressional Vegetable Seed. 



During- January, the Congressional seed received from the 

 Delegate to Congress, was distributed to the public schools and 

 vo a selected list of persons on our mailing list. Some packets still 

 remain which may be had upon application at the Government 

 Nursery. 



Street Tree Planting. 



On the evening of January 30, I read a paper on "Street Tree 

 Planting," before the Out Door Circle of the Kilohana Art 

 League, the members of which have taken up actively the question 

 of civic improvement. 



Very respectfully, 



Ralph S. Hosmer, 



Supt. of Forestry.

 v,'e have delivered 68,000, consisting of different species of 

 Eucalyptus and Ironwood (Casuarina equisctifolia). 



Experiment Garden, Makiki. 



Owing to the heavy demand for trees during the past two or 

 Ihree months our stock for general distribution is considerably 

 reduced, and the men at this station, also at the nursery, have been 

 working on the potting and transplanting of trees to replenish 

 our stock.
