Orders for Seedlings. 



Notwithstanding the long continued drought which has hinder- 

 ed a good deal of forest planting work, interest in tree planting in 

 Hawaii seems to be decidedly on the gain. Recently there have 

 been received a number of good sized orders for forest tree seed- 

 lings for planting this coming autumn and winter. One in par- 

 ticular deserves special mention, that from Waialua Plantation 

 for 500.000 trees. Planting trees in such numbers as this is forest 

 work that counts. The report of the Forest Nurseryman gives the 

 details of this branch of the work of the Division of Forestry. 



Very respectfully, 



Rai.pti S. Hosmer. 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
