Hon. W. M. Gififard, President and Executive Officer, and ]Mem- 

 bers Board of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu, Hawaii. 

 Dear Sir : — I herewith submit a report of the principal work 

 done during the month of .September : 



Nursery.

Collections on account of ])lants sold amounted to $2.85. The 

 dry weather and the short time that now remains before Arbor 

 Day, when trees will be given gratis, there is no doubt accounts 

 for the small cjuantity sold. 



Seed Collecting. 



The collecting of seed on Tantalus has been continued and we 

 are now getting together quantities of such seed that may be 

 wanted during the coming planting season. F'rom Tantalus we 

 have already collected 15 lbs. of eucalyptus robusta seed, 2)^2 lbs. 

 of eucalyptus citriodora, and about 1^ lbs. of koa. Smaller quan- 

 tities of other varieties are being collected.
