rostrata) has been planted in the gulches and they are coming along 

 very well. Monterey cypress is also doing well, and Mr. Fleming thinks 

 it is one of the very best trees that can be planted, as it produces a 

 very lasting wood and makes splendid fence posts. 



At Wailuku, along with Mr. Penhallow, we visited the plantation 

 nursery and found it stocked with many trees suitable for forest plant- 

 ing and also a quantity of ornamental trees. 



The trees planted on the steep slopes above Wailuku are doing very 

 well, and the improvement of the landscape is certainly very noticeable. 

 Mr. Penhallow assured me that he intends keeping up the tree planting. 



One day was spent at Haiku with Mr. James Lindsay. The new 

 sterilizer is in good working order and the nursery well stocked with 

 many different kinds of trees. A large number of trees are being set 

 aside and given special care with the view of exhibiting them at the 

 Fair.
