making are, there is no donbt, due principally to the great care 

 that has been oiven the land in the way of plowing and culti- 

 vating. A number of varieties of eucalyptus have been planted, 

 the species that have done the best being E. Globulus, E. Citrio- 

 dora, E. Corynocalyx, and E. Pilularis. The outlook is certainly 

 very encouraging and the company is to be congratulated on the 

 splendid showing that is being made. 



We have just received from the Honorable W. R. Castle, 10 

 pounds of koa seed collected in Kona and presented by him to 

 this Board. Owing to the great difficulty we are having in pro- 

 curing koa seed this gift is certainly very acceptable and we are 

 very much obliged to Mr. Castle for it. 



Makiki Station. 



The men at the station have been doing the regular routine 

 work. Owing to the large number of trees sent out for Arbor 

 Day planting and for other purposes, the stock both at the main 

 nursery and at this station has been considerably reduced and 

 we will be busy for some time to come in replenishing it. 



Honolulu JJ'atcrslu-d Planting. 



The work done on the face of Round Top has been principally 

 clearing off and making holes for trees. Koa trees to the number 

 of 649 were planted during the month. The ground is now in 

 good condition for planting and we intend filling all the holes 

 that are ready with koa trees. 



U. S. Expcriuioital Planting. Xuuanu VaUcy. 



The man employed to plant and take care of the trees has been 

 kept busy attending to the plants in the nursery, also hoeing the 

 trees that require it.
