whereby ]\Ir. H. M. Curran of the Phihppine Rnreau of Forestry, 

 made a month's visit to Hawaii in April and May. A brief re- 

 port containing the recommendations made by Mr. Curran was 

 pubHshed in June, 1911, issue of the Hawaiian I-'orester and 

 Agriculturist. 



Forest planting under private auspices was more general 

 throughout the Territory in 1911 than in any earlier year. Exact 

 figures by plantations are not available, but the total number set 

 out was probably close on a million trees. The figure for 1910 

 was 725,000. In this work the Division of Forestry had a con- 

 siderable share for over 587,000 seedling trees were sold or given 

 away from the Government Nursery during 1911, of which 339,- 

 000 were furnished to corporations doing extensive planting. 

 Under an arrangement whereby plantations are supplied with tree 

 seedlings in boxes, just ready for the first transplanting, a num- 

 ber of companies that had not before cared to be bothered with 

 the details of getting nursery stock ready, in 1911 undertook 

 tree planting. 



Tree planting by sugar plantation companies is usually done, 

 either to provide windbreaks for exposed cane fields, particu- 

 larly along the sea shore on the windward side of the islands, or 

 to establish groves from which fuel wood may in time be cut. 

 The good results obtained in recent years will undoubtedly lead 

 to a further extension of this work. 



Following is a statement of the trees given out during 1911 

 from the Government Nursery at Honolulu, including the branch 

 Nursery in Makiki Valley used in part as a propagating station, 

 and from the sub-nurseries maintained by the Division of h'or- 

 estry at Ililo, Hawaii, and at Homestead,, Kauai :
