Seed Collecting. 



The Koa and a number of the Eucalyptus on Tantalus are now 

 in season and the boys have been collecting there during the 

 greater part of the month. The Koa seed is badly infested with 

 the seed borer but I think we may be able to get a number of 

 pounds of good seed.

Experiment Garden, Makiki. 



Owing to the large number of tin cans which we have been 

 receiving gratis from the cannery at Iwilei and which we are using 

 to good advantage for setting of trees, we have found it necessary 

 to erect a shed at Makiki to hold them and we have, with the aid 

 of the men at the Nursery, put up a rough shed for that purpose. 

 We have also made a machine for cutting the ends of the tins, 

 thereby reducing the cost of labor considerably. With the ma- 

 chine one man can cut five tins in the same time that he could cut 

 one with the ordinary can opener.
