ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE. 



The writer made one trip to Pearl Harbor Hospital at the request of 

 Capt. Kindleberger, who is in charge of that institution and grounds. 

 Capt. Kindleberger deserves great credit for the work he has done on 

 the 40 acres of land under his control. A few years ago this land was 

 covered with rocks, lantana, klu, stunted algaroba and other noxious 

 weeds. The great interest and untiring efforts of the present officer 

 has turned this desert into a beautiful garden spot. In front of the 

 Hospital and looking towards the mountains a park of considerable 

 extent is laid out and planted with ornamental trees and shrubs. Con- 

 sidering the soil and other conditions the plants are all doing remark- 

 ably well. Around the officers' houses connected with the institution, 

 neatly laid out gardens planted with ornamental trees, vines, shrubs, 

 etc., makes a pleasant comparison where here and there the vegetation 

 of a few years ago still holds on to land not yet brought under cultiva- 

 tion. At the back, on the lagoon, Capt. Kindleberger has his orchard; 

 avocado pears, mangoes, oranges, limes, lemons, papayas, bananas and 

 other fruits are to be found in abundance; also all kinds of vegetables. 

 The fine results are due, no doubt, to the love for plants and untiring 

 efforts of the present incumbent. Capt. Kindleberger has taken a keen 

 interest in beautifying the grounds around the Hospital from the be- 

 ginning and has been allowed to stay long enough here to develop the 

 work he so worthily started. It is to be hoped that his superiors in 

 Washington may allow him to continue his work here so that he may 

 be able to satisfy his ambition and enable him to work out his hobby.
